Our past 2 weeks

So, as last post briefly indicated, Thomas was baptised last Sunday. Details of that are that Emily (my sister) and Josh (bro in law) are little boy's godparents and flew out here for the occassion! We LOVED having them visit.



Obviously, Thomas did, too <3.


Jacob was treated daily to 'surprises' from E and J- this day was glowsticks. So, shocker, he wanted to dance to the CD grayson made him while pantless. wearing glow sticks on each appendage. I know, you never would've guessed that one.

This day, as you can see, was tattoos!



Unfortunately, Jacob was sick while they were here (bronchitis) and then Thomas starting showing signs last Saturday/Sunday (same awful thing).

Breathing treatments day and night for the two of them (more often for Thomas); it helped to have fun coloring books and a fun aunt and uncle (and for the baby, a massage therapist to help gently but effectively keep the lungs and tummy operating okay).

We're currently on the mend...Jacob was cleared to return to school this past Tuesday (after a whole week out!) and Thomas is still a wheezing baby, but nothing as scary as before.
Recap: In the past 3 wks we've had two rather sick boys, family visiting, a Thomas baptism plus we had to replace our transmission in our beloved Neon, then our borrowed car from Daniel's parents brokedown, too. It's been a bit hectic. I think we're coming out of the fog....

So, Emily and Josh look way too comfortable and natural at this whole parenting thing. Let's say: give it a try?
Get back to me E &J, let me know what you think.
Can I get an amen?!

I volunteer as a 'practice baby' they can try on.

in that last picture, TH0s kind of looks like one of those automatic robot crawling babies.

Okay. It has to be said. That picture of Jacob flexing his guns while covered in sweet tattoos (if you think I sound jealous, then you are most definitely correct. I'm a sucker for temporary tattoos): spitting image of Macaulay Culkin, no? All I can picture is him slapping his face in Home Alone and screaming, ha.

Lots of love and sending healthy wishes your way
