365.150: Gourmet Dinner

OK, so my sister made the most amazingly delicious gourmet meal for Ryan and I tonight:
Baked cod over white wine parsley lima beans served with a Parmesan, portabello, and pea risotto.
What?! Who eats like that? Certainly not us. It was so amazing, and so great to be served that way.

365.149: Turner and Aunt Cam

This morning Cam and I took the boys to the Children's Museum, where Cam got an umbrella for each of the dudes. Since it's not raining, they're being used for shade so far. Here's a little photo shoot of Cam and Turner.

365.148: Upside Down Day

I'm feeling a little better--enough to scrounge up an upside-down day with Cameron for the fam! We had quiche and fruit salad and (of course) pancakes!

365.147: Cameron is Here! And I'm in Bed!

So Cameron got to Waco tonight, which I am so excited about, but totally bummed because I have a horrible stomach bug that is keeping me in bed. I can't walk more than a couple steps without being exhausted and needing to sit down. Or barf.
Luckily, I have an amazing sister who was willing to hop on a shuttle to get here from the Dallas airport, then dive right in to helping me at the house and with the boys! Ryan has been out of town on business for two days, so you can imagine the mess she encountered upon arrival after I've spent two days in bed with the boys running a muck in the house on their own!
In my stupor, the camera has not been used...bramp.

365.145: Everything It's Cracked Up To Be

A sweet little reminder from my one of my favorite Etsy shops, Studio Mela.

365.144: Package

Packages totally make my day. And my week month, too. The boys got a package from Mimi and PopPop with new Lightning McQueen and Buzz Lightyear pj's, and some fun toys. So fun!

365.143: Sick

Why is it that my children only get really sick on Friday nights?! For real, if they are going to come down with something that needs to be seen by a doctor stat (I'm so medical), it will be on a Friday night.
Last night when I was brushing Holden's teeth, I noticed his throat was super red. I didn't see any white spots, though, so I thought we were safe from strep. Then at about 9pm, he started throwing up. No bueno. So this morning I made some calls to see where we could take him. (Luckily, the guys who is going to be our family doctor is also in our Lifegroup, so a friend.) It was definitely Strep. I guess the up-side of getting sick on Friday night is that he'll be better in time for school Tuesday!
Here are some "presents" Holden made for Turner, Ryan and me. He is now sitting for what are very long periods of time for him (like more than 30 minutes!) and writing out words and coloring! I just love to see how he is changing and growing from preschool. So he sounded these out with no help.
From L to R: Mommy, Brother, Dad, and Dude (the last two were both for Ryan).

Oh, and PS, after two weeks of very good behavior, his teacher thinks that he has really turned a corner and is getting into the swing of being in preschool! Thank you for all your prayers!
