The Illness that ate July....

Perhaps you are wondering where we have been or perhaps it has been so long since a new post you have given up on reading the blog.  Gabe was very sick in July.  He had mono and a staph infection in his throat.  I have never seen glands swollen so large.  Poor boy.  The first week he was really miserable and slept a ton.  The second week he was feeling better but had to stay quiet due to an enlarged spleen.  He got the all clear from the doctor a little over a week ago and we have resumed our normal crazy life.  I go back to work in two weeks so I better work to do some updating on here before life gets even crazier.

Dinosaurs at the zoo...

Obviously my blog is falling behind.  We do so many fun things I am going to try to blog about them even if it is late.  On Thursday, June 21st, Charli had her first trip to the zoo.  The zoo had a dinosaur exhibit that Charli was indifferent to, Ellie was scared of, Abby enjoyed and Gabe LOVED.  We stayed until about 2:00 p.m.  It was a hot day so of course we had to play in the splash pad after lunch.  Charli had a few melt downs but all in all a pretty successful day.  Both little girls fell asleep on the drive home....ah peace.
