Been awhile....

I can't believe how little I have blogged lately.  The funny thing is that it really reflects my life.  As I look back on my journals there are periods where I journal/blog every day.  Then I got through a period where I just don't.  Not because I don't want to, but because I just don't.  Apparently I'm in one of those just don't journal periods.  However, I want that to change.  Hopefully this will be the the post to start the ball rolling.  For those who have missed us and wondered what has been going on with us here is brief recap....

We've spent most of Jan - March with at least one of the kids sick every single week.  We've seen the doctor a record amount of times, and received a record amount of antibiotics I'm sure!  Lily has been our main culprit of sickness and has had the flu, four eye infections, one sinus infection, and some mysterious illness that could have been a kidney infection.  Oddly enough she missed a whole week of school last week due to illness, yet she doesn't have a stitch of schoolwork to make up.  Makes you wonder exactly what she is doing all day at school!

Charlotte has been a grump for most of this year.  She is a HORRIBLE teether.  It takes her teeth over a month to come in.  The whole month her comes are swollen and she gets horrible runny nose and a cough.  More than once I thought she had pneumonia or something because the coughing has been so bad.  She had four teeth finally break through mid feb and I thought we were done.  About two weeks later I noticed Lily was grumpy and had her normal cough/runny nose.  Sure enough her molar area was swollen...all four areas.  So a month later none of broke through and I'm about ready to pull my hair out with the grumpy/clingy child I have on my hand.

Allie has been sick as well but not seriously.  She's been pretty bored lately with me giving so much attention to her sisters.  Quite a few days she has disappeared into her bedroom and kept her occupied while I deal with them.  A nice little blessing for sure!

And the only other real significant event in our life is that we adopted a puppy!  I plan on posting about her later, so look forward to that.  Her name is Sprinkles and the girls love her.  She is a bit mischievous as puppies are, and it just adds a little bit more to our craziness around here.

I've written a few new posts.  They are from January so you have to scroll down just a bit but not too far I promise! : )
