Three!!

It's a little early, but Jack is going to be 3 on Wednesday! (It gets crazy during the week and I probably won't have time to do this!) Where has the time gone. This time of year gets me thinking back to all the anticipation we had for his birth and then all of the things that we never could have imagined that followed soon after his birth. October 12 is a day I will never forget. That's the day that Jack was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of his ASD/VSD (heart defects). There was nothing that could have prepared us for the months that would follow. We truly are so blessed to have Jack as a part of our lives. And even more so, we are blessed that he is now the healthy, active and intelligent little boy that he is! Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers that so many of you have had for us over the past 3 years.

It's started

I'm home today as Caroline is sick. Atleast we made it through almost a full month of school before one of the kids got sick. At the high school, sickness is all over the place. They aren't really saying anymore if it is really swine flu, but alot of kids are really sick. I'm just saying prayers that we don't get it. Caroline came home yesterday and took a good long nap. When Tommy got home, she woke up and he noticed she was burning up. She had almost a 102 temperature! Some tylenol and naps later, it has finally come down some this morning. It is so pitiful to see your baby obviously not feeling well. Jack went on it to school this morning so that Caroline could get some good rest today and to keep them apart while she might still have something. Anyways, since I had a few minutes while she is sleeping, thought I would share some new pictures...



Day out with Thomas event that we did this weekend. Jack got to ride on Thomas the Train!
Trying to get a shot of both of them smiling!

Love that smile.
