blech

we're sick. I started to get a sore throat the day Dave left for up north. a week later the sore throat went away and I  started to lose my voice, get a runny nose and bad cough.

Today I was starting to feel normal. (10 days later) and by the end of the day both the kids have crazy runny noses, sneezing, and coughing. Oh and my throat is starting to hurt again. I mean come on!

So we've just hung out inside keeping our germs to ourselves. sigh.

So, this happened

Then I asked what he did. His answer was "I made it pretty"

Wordless Wednesday

These just came in the mail today

And he's gone

Dave is gone back up north to work. The bad news is he's not here. Austin is a bit older and understands more. Yes, he understands that daddy is away at work and will be back, but he also understands daddy won't be here for a while.

The good news is that the expected end date for this job is June 2014. So for the next 2 years he has a job. Woo hoo!

It's back to airport pick ups and one week together then two weeks apart but I'm sure we'll settle into our routine again in no time.

Our weekend

This weekend we did a mommy son day. Thanks to our friend Sue for the idea. She hadn't been able to do much with just her son so she suggested the water park. Mackenzie got to stay home with daddy while Austin and I joined Sue and her son at the water park Austin had a blast and we did quite a few stairs to go to the water slides. We played in the wave pool, the splash pad, and enjoyed some lunch. I am so glad we had the opportunity to h e a mommy son day.

Wordless Wednesday

Today is Austin's last day of the playschool program we put him in. As a thank you he picked this out for his teacher and I made the flags Now, I had panned on getting a nice pot to put it in and actually cut out the thanks, but I totally forgot he had school today until 10 minutes before it started. I'd say that's a pretty awesome job for about 7 minutes work!

3 months old

My baby girl is now 3 months old. She's babbling and smiling now. She is pulling her head and shoulders off the ground to try and sit up. I think in the next few days she's going to find her 2 newest playthings - her feet. She's been grabbing at her knees so I know the feet are next. She has also started chewing on her hands and will grab at toys on her play mat.

But that smile. Oh the smile just melts my heart every time.

Here she is trying to sit up. Shortly after she succeeded and rolled forwards. lol.
