Sick Sick Sick

Life in our home right now isn't much fun. 4 of the 6 of us have the flu. It started with Ellie then Perry and Travis and now our little Lanie bug has it. The kids have been troopers through it all but Lanie is really pitiful and it is hard to see her so unhappy. We had to cancel Lanie's first birthday party on sat so that we wouldn't spread this mess to all. I keep waiting for Cam to get it but so far he is just fine. He seems to miss this kind of sickness. Today is supposed to be 70 and my mom is coming here to help me. I am hoping I can air out some of these germs today!

Our day

Today we had Lanie's 1 year pictures taken. I can't believe we are already here. It goes by way too fast and I just want to pause time. She did so good for her pictures today and I can't wait to see how they turn out. We are having her party next weekend and I have been planning for the last few weeks. Travis wonders why I put so much time and thought into a 1 year olds party. Your baby will only turn 1 once and I want it to be special even if she won't remember it! I love looking back at my first birthday pictures and I know she will one day too!

Ellie was very sick today, she ran a high fever, sore throat and throwing up allday today. She is the 3rd child in the family to have a z-pack in the last 3 weeks! I guess this is just the season for sickness!! Bring on the warm weather please!

Tonight is the superbowl of college basketball for Travis. Duke and Carolina are playing as I am typing this. Let's just say it is very tense in here at the moment!

They are calling for snow tonight, not much but I wonder if school will be out tomorrow? Poor Ellie will be out either way and of course tomorrow is her Valentines party. I hate she might miss it, she really gets into parties at school and any reason to celebrate (much like her mama!)

My Girls

This is what it is all about. There are so many days when I don't know how I am going to make it through, but one look at their smiles makes it all worth it. I love you Ellie and Lanie!

Snow Days

I must do better

I created this blog a while ago, planning to document our lives and the kids as they grow. I LOVE, LOVE to read other peoples blogs, I am a little obsessed. But why oh why can't I seem to update my own blog? Maybe the time? No I could easily do it instead of reading others blogs. So this is my attempt to do better for myself. As I have said before these days will be a blur to me one day and I want to remember, the good,bad and ugly!

Pedicures and Girl Time

Ellie asks me all the time if we can "have a girls day?" She is a true girl and loves all things girl! We took MawMaw to get a pedicure for her birthday this week and Ellie was in her glory! I don't think she stopped smiling one time. This is one of those moments I want to remember forever!

Lanie Marie is 7months!

Wow I just can't believe how fast it is going by. I guess I should know how fast is goes by now. She hasnt gone for a check up yet so I am unsure of how much she weighs but my guess it over 20lbs. Her smile is contagious, her siblings adore her, and we love her more than words.

I love you Lanie Marie Kerr
