Spring and other goodness

Ok, so it's been a while since I've put up pics, I figured it was about time.
Sorry about the repeats for those of you who have facebook, (which by the way is a bit of a distraction from my blog!)

Things here at home are great. We are happy and healthy!
Just colds, of course. Colds are members of our family. The girls spend more time with colds than they do with Derek some weeks.

Geneva DID spend a few hours in Emerg a few weeks ago with some breathing difficulties... very scary for us. She woke up wheezing and choking, crying and pretty much gasping for breath... She had calmed down a lot once they gave her some oxygen and ventalin (sp?) and they diagnosed her as having croup. (sp?) Which i might have known, if she actually would have been coughing. Which she didn't do until we got to the hospital. I look back on it now and think, oh my, we shouldn't have wasted all that time waiting around at the hospital to be told there was nothing we could do.... BUT when your chid wakes up at midnight and is struggling to breathe, you kinda freak out a bit. It was the scariest thing I've ever experienced to be quite honest.

She was such a good girl about everything though. We got back home around 2:30 am and she was awake and saying "morning time Mommy?" at, oh about 6:30. NO WAY. She did go back to sleep til around 9 though, which was a treat. Even though Brooke was up at 7.

We are sooo thankful that nothing else scary has happened to our children. God has blessed us with such happy and healthy babies. We couldn't be more grateful!!!!

Anyway, aside from that innnnteresting night, things have been pretty normal around here. Derek's been doing lotsa work outside on the yard. I'll put s'more pics up of the final product in a while.

I'm going back to "work" in that I'm starting babysitting again. Next week I have our friend's kids Rueben and Kaelyn three days a week, and in a few weeks I'll have a little guy named Aidan three days a week as well. But I'll pretty much have the summer off, which is verrry nice to know!

Well, I hear Brooke awake upstairs, so I should go get her. Then I need to get OUTSIDE and enjoy more of this beeeeeeeautiful weather we've been given!!!!!!!!!

More to come....
