100th Day of School
Can you believe that it has already been 100 days that Mary-Beth has been in school. I sure can't. Here are a few pictures of her dressed for the occasion. I appliqued a shirt for her and We put 100 ponytails in her hair. I have to say she did very good sitting still while I put them in her hair. The assignment was for the kids to come to school wearing 100 of something. Her hair will never be the same:)


I had to throw this picture of Will and the kids jumping on the trampoline. Will would be thrilled to know that I am putting a picture of him playing "ring-a-round the roses. But I could not resist!

We Are Finally Well!!!!!!!
Lane has been running fever for SEVEN days straight. I took him to the doctor on last Wednesday and he got on antibiotics for another ear infection. Well, he seemed to only get worse after that. Sunday night his fever got up to 104.6 under his arm. We had to alternate Tylenol and Motrin. I made two phone calls to Dr. Sluis and back to the doctor on Tuesday of this week. He had tonsillitis, sinusitis, and of coarse still and ear infection. After x-rays and swabs for all kinds of test we headed home and wouldn't you know it he wakes up feeling better Wednesday. He still complained about his head but for the most part he was almost back to normal. We stayed home from church to be safe. Today he woke up feeling GREAT!

Lane is always wanting to help. He had to go to the doctor yesterday and he has an ear infection and probably some other virus that is causing his temp to go up, because with an ear infection he rarely runs much fever!! Nonetheless he still wants to help me keep the fire going. He insists that there is always a need for another log. So he runs outside and carries in a log that is the size of him. But he loves it!! So this morning I had to snap a picture of his hard work!

I Have Been Tagged!!
My friend Amy tagged me to go back to the six folder on my computer and pick out the sixth picture. It is of Mary-Beth at December of 2006. I remember this morning. We were getting ready to go to church and I wanted some pics because the kids were dressed. They however, did not want to get pics, as you can see. She looks so little!! Oh how I miss that age with her.
Amy, I had to also add a picture of Lane on that day also!! He was my baby!!! Look at those little curls. Wouldn't it be nice to turn back time for a day! Many of the bloggers I now have been tagged but I will add Erin, Megon. and Carrie M.

Such a Pretty Day
The kids enjoyed the weather and decided to play outside all morning. Lane road his new bike and they jumped on the trampoline.



When Will got home at lunch we all road over to Jackson and went to Gatti Town. It was really great timing because We were the ONLY family there. The kids had free reign of everything and I did not feel like I was going to lose a kid at any time. After Gatti Town we went shopping a while.





At the end of the night the kids got baths and Took turns on their new Design Art Studio that their Aunt Kathy bought them. They love this thing. I never get to use my computer because of it:)
