First Ponytail

No, this is not Gibby's first ponytail... This is the first ponytail TROY has ever done. Every other Thursday he is on days off and so stays home with the kids while I go to work. I love this new level of parenthood he has achieved. And personally, I think the ponytail is beautiful.

#5!

Well this weekend was much more fun than the last! We ended up spending last weekend in the hospital with Fletcher AND Sunny... both had RSV and were having respiratory trouble.  Luckily they are much, much better now and could enjoy this weekends festivities.  Griffin was celebrating his 5th Birthday! We had a little winter Fiesta complete with a pinata and taco bar!

Singing happy birthday!

 The little guys were a little jealous that none of the gifts were for them. Sunny kept saying that it was "happy 'nunny' day!"

Erin helping Fletcher open one of Griff's cars... pretty cool!

Sunny and her blonde locks... her hair sure has grown lately!

The boys doing a balloon relay race!

Birthday cake and another round of singing!

I love my Griffin so so so much. He is the sweetest, most caring little boy. I am constantly in admiration of his never-ending enthusiasm... I hope he never grows out of thoroughly enjoying everything he experiences. He sure is an amazing person to have around and I'm so very proud of the little man he's becoming. xoxo

on the Bright Side

Well it's been quite a week. One child with a throat infection, another with pnemonia, a trip to the E.R., and a lot of nights with not so much sleep... I'm beat! I'm looking for the bright moments though... and here's what I found:

It's blurry cause I took it with my phone... here's Gibby trying to comfort Sunny while she had her nebulizer. (I didn't take a picture of the fight that ensued once Fletcher decided he also wanted to "comfort" to Sunny.)

Griffin brought this picture home from preschool today.  Its the first one he's drawn of our whole family. My heart fills with love and pride whenever I look at it. And "the hearts are because I love you, mommy".

Here's hoping everyone gets better quick and we all get some sleep tonight!
