so olivia has an ear infection. she is miserable, can't sleep, and has been fussing all day. the only time she is happy is if i am holding her or letting her nurse. i'm exhausted to say the least. and if that's not enough, luke starting throwing up right as we were about to start eating all the snacks and cookies i made...
well, olivia is sick. she was up last night with a 102 degree fever, a horrible, congested cough, watery eyes, and snot just pouring out of her nose. poor baby. this is her first time to be sick, ever. since she was in no condition to go to church this morning, i stayed home with her while nick and luke and grandma and...

as it turns out the "healthy sleep habits" was a bust. at least as it pertained to luke. olivia seems to be doing great on it and, in fact, she slept from 8:30p to 5:10am this morning. but with luke, not so much. it was more of a game for him and with his endless supply of energy and persistence, we were just...

I started reading this book a few nights ago and realized that we have totally messed up with Luke. The kid just hates to sleep. I am finding myself getting up several times a night to deal with Luke not Olivia. Something is wrong with that. So, two nights ago we implemented the "silent return to bed" technique. The first night was a...
i attempted for a second time to get a good photo of the kids for our christmas card. i don't know if i am just feeling the pressure because it is already a week into dec and i usually have my cards done by nov, or if i'm just having a hard time making decisions or maybe i am just being too picky....
before the surgery.getting prepped for surgery.laurin making everyone laugh in the pre-op room.laurin gets to hold avery for the first time since the surgery. she started to cry and said "he's so cute".another after bath shot. he looks like my sister. ...
