Love love love

So since my last post on Friday the little man and I have started tossing throwing up also. Now four days later we are all feeling much better.
And since I am already 4 days behind on the 12 days of Christmas I am just going to have to call it quits for this year.
I ended up taking the littles to the doctor yesterday to get checked out. The little man woke up with red, watery eyes and a cough. The little lady had a rash covering her chest and still had diarrhea. The results... we have Adenovirus. Its just as contagious as the common cold but each child can have different symptoms.

The little man has been much better today. He is still really mellow but his eyes are not nearly as red anymore.
My love for Hylands is growing. I found some tablets for Sniffles'n Sneezes. The are homeopathic (like all of Hylands products) and they did an amazing job at helping his cough and red eyes. I think that he still likes the Hylands cough syrup better but the tablets seam to work better.

The little lady still has a rash and diarrhea. My love for Elimination Communication is growing also ( I did not know it could grow more but it has) since she has been sick. I have still had to change a good share of poopy diapers but she has made it to the potty many more times. I dont think I would want to see how red her bum bum would be if she never made it to the potty.

My one more growing love is for soaked oatmeal.
If you haven't ever tried it, you need to.
All I do is soak some oats in some water over night in the fridge. When we up and ready for breakfast I just bring the oats to a boil and then I let it simmer for a minutes. Eat and enjoy.
This was the first food that we could keep down and it was amazing. I have some soaking in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow.
Maybe my shirt that I wore yesterday and today had a little something to do with the love, love, love post.

I am still living my life and loving it... no matter how unglamorous it maybe.

Our house full of love

Every time I turn around someone is getting a kiss.

The little man is giving the little lady a kiss.
I am giving the little man a kiss.
The hubby is giving me a kiss.
The little man is giving the little lady another kiss.
The little man is always giving kisses and the little lady is very happy to receive all of these kisses.



There is always more to go around.

One week

I has been one week...
since I last felt you move in my belly.
since you made your way into the world.
since I first saw your tiny face, held your tiny hands, counted your tiny toes and kissed your tiny head.


It had been a week...
since I became a mama of two.
since we became a family of four.
since I found more love in my heart than I ever knew possible.


It has been a week full of many emotions.
Tears of joy, sadness, and unexplained emotions.
Many moments of laughter, happiness and love.

It has been a week that I will never forget.

We love our men (and women) in blue

I was in shock to say the least yesterday when I heard the horrible news that four more of our local police officers we shot and killed just for being cops.
Less than a month ago there was another officer killed in Seattle.
So here is to our men and women in blue. Thank you for all that you do.


(The little man sporting his police officer pajamas and a potato head dressed like an officer also)

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of
Sgt. Mark Renninger
Officer Ronald Owens
Officer Tina Griswold
Officer Greg Richards
Officer Timothy Brenton
