Aurora's blessing day & sick children

It sure has been a week!!  It started out with me taking Lincoln to the Pediatrician for his 5 yr check up.  I'm terrible but I didn't even ask his height and weight, but he did mention he was in the 42% for weight and 20-25%? for height.  He did fantastic with all the other tests. 

 

Oh and Linc read his first real book to me last week!!  We were jumping around with joy we were so happy!  Good job Linc!  It was a Fly Guy book, he loves those.  It makes me so happy when kids learn new things like that.  I love being his Mom:)

 

So, a couple hours after the check up, Lincoln started to get sick. He ended up missing school every day this week. Sequoia ended up missing 2 of the 4 days. Once Lincoln's fever broke and felt a bit better, Sequoia got it. When I thought Linc was feeling better, I took the kids to Mike's YM activity.  It was super cool. My friend somehow had the Chinese acapella group that won China'a Sing Off staying at her house for a couple days, so we had them come sing for their mutual activity.  It was pretty cool! Although it was while we were there that Sequoia started her fever, and Linc threw up in a garbage can there.  It was worth it though:)

 

 

So all the rest of the week, we've been stuck at home. I was getting excited to go to church today and get to chat and be out, but last night Sequoia cried and cried through out the night, waking up Aurora a bunch of times, who now has the fever and it looks like an eye infection or pink eye.  No church for the girls today:(  I'm going to call the doctor's office tomorrow and see if we can get Auri in. She has green yucky goo all over her right eye. Poor girl. Although it's times like these that I'm so grateful I don't work out of the home anymore and I can be with my children when they need me. (And I'm finding that I love my little munchkins even more when they are sick.)

 

Oh wait, Mike and Linc just walked in the door early from church.  Lincoln is starting to get green yucky goop in his pinkish eyes as well.  Sweet. Nobody at church, everyone in the doc tomorrow.  Let's hope next week is better.

Even though it's terrible she won't take a binky, she LOVES her hands!

I had to get a couple pictures while it was actually clean!

 



Quoi is our water girl!!  She decided that her princesses needed a bath. Quoi also loves to stand at the sink forever and clean the dishes, she's Mommy's great helper. 

 



Cute nakey fat girl:)

 



Early morning computer time.  Aurora is almost as big as Sequoia.

 

Auri's blessing day February 3rd...  both Grandparents were able to come for her blessing!  What fun to have them in our home at the same time.  Daniel, Annica and Max came with Grandpa and Grandma Phister.  They hadn't been out here yet, so it was fun to show them around and have them here. We ordered pizza, played lots of games, watched the kids play together and passed cute baby around and chatted. I loved it.

 



Grandpa and Auri just hanging out. I was amazed how happy she was just sitting there!

 



Grandpa Goodman letting the kids play with "Wilson the Mouse" They just loved it.

 



Of course these two on the Ipad...

 



Just shove it in her mouth, she'll stop.



We are so happy our family took the time out of their lives to come visit us and be here for our special day. It meant a lot to us, especially as we all sat together that Sunday morning.
