It's Been a While!

So it's been a while since I last posted to the blog, so I figured I'd do a quick post to update everyone since last week!

We had a fun, busy weekend planned, which we accomplished about half of. Jason and I went to an '80s party on Saturday night while Dawn baby-sat the kids. They didn't get to stay the night at her house because Jer was pretty sick all weekend so Meggan was bummed about that, but Dawn and Lucas ended up staying the night here because they were out cold on our couch when we got home around 1:00 a.m. and it wasn't worth waking him up to drag him out in the cold and perhaps have him not get back to sleep very well. That was lots of fun - I haven't laughed that hard for a while! It was nice to just be out the two of us and get to spend time with friends and not worry about the kids and schedules and how long their patience (or our patience) will last! :)

Our fun weekend got interrupted on Sunday morning when Meggan started vomiting around 7:30. She vomited 7 or 8 times between then and 10:00 and then was done. She ate nothing but applesauce, bananas, toast and/or saltines for the rest of the day and also yesterday (we kept her home from school since it hadn't been 24 hours since she last puked), and seems good as new! Meggan had to miss church (a surprisingly devastating turn of events for an almost 5-year-0ld), had to miss a gymnastics outing that a group from church had planned for Sunday afternoon, and we had to call off for ChristCare that evening (thankfully we weren't the only ones that were going to miss, and they just ended up canceling it and going to reschedule and we didn't miss anything after all). She was pretty heartbroken!

Jordan, on the other hand, vomited a couple times overnight into Monday morning and hasn't quite regained his strength back yet. He woke up this morning again to a little vomit in his bed and has been sleeping the day away yet again today. Poor little guy - seems like those 1-year-olds always get hit the hardest and take a little extra time to bounce back!

We are just praying that he will make a full recovery (and that neither one of us will come down with any of this junk) and he will be able to go forward with getting tubes in his ears on Friday morning. We've been waiting since his ENT appointment on February 4, and can't put it off much longer. This is the first available time they had (yes, 3 weeks later ... got to love big city medical stuff) and he's suffering from another ear infection since we were there (his sixth one since July now). So tired of him having to put up with that!

Please pray all this stuff will leave Jordan's body (since it seems to have already left Meggan's) and leave this house for good!!!

Some pictures from the last few days:

Meggan's first pair of earrings since she got them pierced (she found a set that has a letter M in just about every color)!


Meggan dressed up in one of her crazy outfits before we left for the party on Saturday night!


All of us ladies from our ChristCare group dressed up in our '80s gear!

The kids being "like Daddy" on Sunday afternoon before I left for the gymnastics event that Meggan had to miss out on! :(

The kids playing (I don't know what) yesterday during one of the rare moments Jordan was awake at all!

Have a great Tuesday!
