We are supposed to be in St. Louis right now - but instead we are home with sick kids and a sick daddy! I am so ready for all of the sickness to be gone!!!! We are going to try to reschedule our trip for next weekend.
I'll try to write a new post later this weekend to update you on what has been going on with us. I have to go tend to the sickies right now.

Poor Baby!
Well - Kate has yet another ear infection. This is her third one in about 6 weeks. We went in today for her 18 month appt. and the Dr. confirmed what I already had feeling was true. She has been crabby and not sleeping well the last few nights. Then yesterday I noticed her pulling on her ear. I am so ready for spring!!!!!
Other than that she is a healthy girl - just a little on the small side.
She is 22 lbs. (25%), 30.5 inches(20%) and her head is 17 1/4 inches (3%).
Let me tell you - I really took for granted the quality of healthcare and the choices we had back in St. Louis. I feel like I finally (3 dr.'s later)found a dr. who is decent - but we really miss Dr. Sherman. Dr.'s around here are very old school in many ways. Oh Well.
Take care everyone -

Fun Times With Family
We had another great weekend here with guests. On Thursday my mom and dad came up on the train. On Saturday Sara, Matt and Matthew arrived. The kids were so happy to see baby Matthew (and grandma, grandpa, sara, and matt). We had a great time and were sad to see Sunday come.
On Friday Kevin and dad rented scaffolding to paint our entryway and put up a new light. Grandma and I took the kids shopping to get them out of the house while most of the work was being done. On Friday night we treated mom and dad to one of our favorite local restaurants.
On Saturday I hosted a Chez Ami chidren's clothing party. The boys went out and toured the town and had a quick snack. The evening was spent relaxing and playing Wii. The best was watching dad and Sara box!
On Sunday it was beautiful in the morning, so dad and Kevin took the kids outside for a little bit. It was nice to let them run around for a bit. Mom, Sara and I went out looking for wedding dresses. Sara found the perfect dress for her beach wedding and we ordered it! We came home and had a nice dinner together and then said goodbye.
We are eagerly awaiting the next visit.

5,4,3,2,1.........
Blast off!!!
We had five kids here this weekend ages 5,4,3,2,and 1. It was crazy yet so much fun! Shelley, Alex(5), Max(2), Sarah and Joe(3) came to visit us on Thursday and stayed until Saturday afternoon. Add Jackson(4)and Kate(1) and we had a full house.
The mommies had a great time visiting and the kids played all weekend. We took a trip to the Children's Museum on Friday. One outing was enough for us. On Friday night we put Kate and Max to sleep and the the mommies went out for a late dinner while Kevin stayed with the older boys and had a Wii party! The rest of the time was just spent playing and having a good time. We've decided we should definitely do this more often and are even planning a camping trip this summer.
Below are a few pics from the weekend.
Enjoy -

10 Inches!!!!!!!
Yep - we got 10 inches of snow up here! We are having a great snow day. State Farm actually shut down today!! That's a big deal. So we are having fun with Kevin being home. Kevin and Jackson (and Chloe) are outside right now shoveling the driveway. Poor Kate won't be able to enjoy the snow. She is sick! She has been on meds for a double ear infection and now she woke this morning (4AM) with a fever and a bad cough. The doctor's office is closed and I don't think she is sick enough to call the doctor on call. So we will wait it out until tomorrow. There is this nasty upper respiratory thing going around - I think that may be what she has. Poor thing!!!! She is such a trooper though.
I will post some pictures of the snow a little later - check back this afternoon.
