home today

first day of february... wow. cj is 8 months old. wow again. as of today he is 21 lb 14 oz. triple wow. he has accomplished a temperature of 103.4 & and his first ear infection!! sucky. we had a nice weekend in houston, despite cj's getting sick. friday night we arrived and the perkins and this was his first night of discomfort. rough night. saturday his temp stayed around 101. yesterday morning was elevated to 102.8 & ultimately when we got home last night was at its highest. dr called out amoxycillan, so that should help. what a good baby he is though... he really doesn't complain too much. he enjoyed our trip and was a happy boy despite the ear.


kaetlyn had a great time with the family. boy does she LOVE getting to play with her cousin, aidan, and he loves her too. they are quite a pair. in my sleep dep haze i wasn't so great at pulling my camera out (bad mommy!) but i'm sure that theresa will post some pics. after dinner on saturday night, the dads were preoccupied with the babies and the moms were cleaning the kitchen, so the 3 year olds had some time to themselves! they decided to empty the bottom three shelves of pop pop's book case into a gigantic disorderly pile under the dining room table.... it was SO funny....needless to say, pop pop was not thrilled. they helped clean it up while we all laughed. theresa got a picture... i bet she posts it.

kaetlyn was so excited about theresa's birthday party - it was so cute. we just had to buy party hats and balloons. she wanted streamers and the whole nine, but fortunately settled with party hats and balloons. theresa wore her party hat with pride. :) cj and i skipped the boys' baptism due to the fever, but craig and kaetlyn joined the family for the special event.

fun weekend. hopefully cj sleeps a lot today... bless his little heart. i'm so tired, but have a lot of work to get done as well....


here's a couple pics of the kiddos from chik fila (sp?) last tuesday night. there was a clown that painted faces and made balloon things. it was great fun.
