Shower

Markus woke up with a fever today.  His fever goes down with meds and he is in a pretty good mood in spite of the fever.  He doesn't care for solid food today, but is taking bottles.  He really just wants to snuggle.  We will keep a close eye on him.  Nolan had a fever for one day, I hope this is the same bug and it will be gone just as quickly for Markus. 

We had a "Welcome Markus" shower today.   Lots of my favorite people were there.  Markus got lots of new, cool stuff and lots of necessities. I have pictures to share and will post them tomorrow.    

Karrigan is spending the night with her BFFAE and Kennedy is spending the night with Mimi and Papa.  Randy is helping friends with a plumbing problem.  So the house is fairly quiet tonight.   

It's been a blessed day. 

Friday

7Markus was a little fussy this evening.  He only napped one hour all day.  I had to wake him up to go to school.  I think that was what set him off.  We finally LET him go to sleep around 7:00.  He was more than ready!! 

Nolan went to school and had a good day.  He doesn't have a fever, but his throat still hurts.  Hopefully he will get back to 100% this weekend. 

Us girls (and Markus) have a baby shower on Saturday and then a family shower on Sunday at church. I'm excited to see all of my peeps, and for them to meet Markus. 

We watched "God grew tired of Us" on dvd tonight.  Except Kennedy and Nolan, they were watching wrestling. It was really good!  I love documentaries!  Karrigan and Shayli were shocked at some realities.  It is an eye opener for us all.  We spoiled American's can't imagine what other people go through. It pains me, how selfish we are.  How much we have, yet still complain.  I like my children to see how other people live.  How blessed we are!  

Reagan lost yet another tooth today.  I will get a picture up tomorrow.  She has ONE tooth on the top.  She looks like a hillbilly!!  She is embarrassed, but it's cute.

The boys

Markus and I had lunch with some sweet friends today.  That boy pigged out!!!  He ate all of the food I brought for him and every other thing that was put in front of him!  Including TOMATOES!  I hope he will continue to not be a picky eater, we have enough of those already.

Nolan has not had a fever all day.  He isn't eating solid food, but he has been drinking homemade fruit smoothies.  He was so sad to miss a field trip today.  He should be back at school tomorrow.    I sure do love these boys!!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

McRib is back! 


In the words of my (then 5-6 years old) niece Megan, "If someone gave me one of those, I would eat it". 

Toy Story 3

It's been a good day.  Randy got off work early so he, Markus and I spent most of the day together.  Markus got his first professional hair cut.  He looks even more adorable,  I didn't think it was possible!  The three of us then went to Blockbuster, the bank and Walmart. 

Nolan went "missing" this afternoon.  I found him in his bed almost asleep, which is extremely odd.  I discovered he had a temp of 101.  He ate NOTHING since coming home from school and he later said his throat hurts when he swallows.  So he may be seeing the doctor tomorrow.  He definitely wont be going to school, but I hope it's not a big deal. 

We had Robbi and Shayli over for dinner and to watch Toy Story 3.  We are HUGE Toy Story fans, and the third movie was just as cute as the first two.  I hate to see the story end, but where can it go from here?? :)  I would not complain if Markus fell in love with Toy Story!  I love those movies! 

 Watching the movie, but didn't last long.

Lunch time

After a two hour nap, it was lunch time!  

 Sally is hoping for a very messy lunch! 

 The staring worked!

 Markus doesn't know why the dogs are interested in him.  And he doesn't care!
