Snow Bunnies

Amy, Vince, and the kids came on Thursday night. What a good time. The kids did super together.....I sometimes have flashbacks about when they were younger and COULD NOT be in the house together. I'm so glad things have changed!! They left after Easter dinner. We all took a nap and then I was off to the ER with Isabel. Its only the second time I've been there this month! She just has these screaming episodes and I can't calm her down. She has also had a fever. I was nervous that she had an ear infection, and with us flying on Tuesday morning I didn't want to take any chances. Her ears are clear but she does have a UTI. Poor girl! That explains the uncontrollable screaming. But, she's on antibiotics now and the pain should go away by morning.

Tim is on his way to Appleton now with Erik and Annika. He is meeting Papa Bob and Nana Shirley there and they are taking them to MI for the week. The kids cannot believe their good fortune to spend the week up there! Alaina, Isabel, and I are leaving for Madison in a little bit. We fly out tomorrow morning for Colorado Springs. :) YEAH! It should be a fun week. Tim is going to Memphis tomorrow for work. It will be the first time back since we've moved. I wish we were all going somewhere together, but this will work out good for this year. So, off we go. :) But, first, here are a few pictures of our weekend together! I thought I took more, but I guess with 7 kids all 6 and under, I didn't have as much time to take pictures!

Here's a few cute pictures of Caleb digging into the Hummus and Pita Chips! Classic.....he pushed a stool over, grabbed a chip and just loaded it with Hummus! He put it in him mouth and did the "you better get a napkin b/c I am spitting this out somewhere" look! I told him just to eat it and he did! And, he didn't stop! I should send these to Stacy's Pita Chips and to Sabra Hummus and see if maybe they need a new cover boy!







Hope everyone had a great Easter! I can say that this was the first "White Easter" that I can remember! The kids had a blast looking for eggs in the snow! There was a big egg hunt at a park here in Cary put on by the park district. The three big kids even were interviewed by a lady from the Chicago Tribune! Too bad we don't get that paper anymore.....I should have picked one up yesterday, but I forgot.






We didn't even take pictures of the two babies together! One of them was always sleeping! Here they are in the van....




Caleb was loving the princess shoes. I guess I'll have to buy in some for Christmas!




Annika came down with a fever on Saturday. All of a sudden she was sleeping in the chair and then we thought she was getting up but fell back asleep with her feet on the floor! She perked back up with some Motrin and after a 103 on Saturday night she' been clear.
