Ear Infection

Our sweet little Micah continued to be a crabby bear throughout the week and I began to rethink it was just teething or nightmare scares. By Thursday night he was running a fever of 102 and continued to be really restless that night. By morning he held on to the 102 fever so I called the doctor, after running all symptoms by my wonderful sister-in-law Sara, to take him in to check for ear infection. Sure enough, the doctor said his ears looked pretty sore. Sometimes it is so hard to know what in the world is going on with little ones. Kyle and I are so glad to be sleeping again and having our little sweetheart back. 

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy!

Oh Boy the last few days have been an extreme challenge for both Anna and I with the boys.  The boys have not been behaving the best and have been pushing all the buttons.  To add to the mix they have not slept well as Micah has not wanted to sleep at night or be in his own bed.  The other night he just sat and screamed for about 20 min.  This meant that all four of us were up until about 11 o'clock.  Finally at about 11 some how i thought that maybe he would sleep if he could lay with Andrew.  It worked, Andrew in his own fashion began to pat Micah's back to calm him down.  Just a few min later they were both quiet.  they were so cute sleeping together.  The last 3 nights now Micah will not sleep in his own bed but has to sleep with Drew and they love it.  We have great kids, just quite a week.

Day with dad!

Check out the blog writing and other video below, but here is one more video of the boys and their leaf pile.

Day with dad!

Day with dad!

This past friday the boys and I had a day together.  Mom took off early in the morning for a day trip with the ladies to Bemidji for some shopping and lunch.  We took this as a guys only day and made the most of it.  We went to n at McDonald's and met our good friends Skip and Jim for Lunch and time to play.  The boys loved the time and spent an hour climbing up the towers and down the slides.  We went home and all took naps, what a relief!  After naps we woke up and raked a pile of leaves in the back yard, not for yard work, but to jump in of course.  Andrew then wanted to go to the library and play some computer games, read stories, do puzzles, and put on stickers.  After the library we headed home to meet mom and have Papa Murphy's pizza that she had brought home.  It was a very full, but great day.  We all slept great at night.  Check out the movies of our leaf pile.  Andrew and Micah would love it if you would leave them a comment about their leaf jumps so we could read th

Happy Birthday Andrew!!

It has been awhile since we have updated everyone. We got home from a pastors retreat in Dallas TX about a week ago and it has been super busy ever since! I will BLOG later about our trip to Dallas, but more importantly I wanted to let everyone know that Andrew turned 3 last Thursday! We celebrated with family when we were in the cities before Kyle and I took off for Dallas, and Andrew was completely thrilled! He smiled all night long and clapped after everyone sang for him. Again Grandpa made an amazing cake for Andrew's birthday. Our theme this year was Mickey Mouse since we will be going on a Disney Cruise at the end of February 2009. Andrew loved his special night with Grandpa, Grandma, GG, uncle Ben and aunt Kara, cousin Kaylee, and Great Grandparents Jean, Dorothy and Curt. On Thurday October 9th we had a fun day with Drew on his actual birthday. For breakfast we had donuts and eggs with daddy before he went to work. Midmorning we went to storytime with Drew and Micah's
