Brooks and Great Grandpa

2 years ago today...

we held Brooks for the first time. He was 4 months old and we left early on Thanksgiving day to spend the long weekend with him. We are so thankful to have him in our lives! We love you Brooks!

And there's more

As if Hudson wasn't sick enough, he didn't sleep much at all Sunday night and then woke up with a rash Monday morning. Not knowing if it might be a reaction from his medicine, I called the Dr and they wanted me to bring him in. So I took him to the Dr for the 2nd time in 2 business days. Fortunately, I was able to drop Brooks off to play with Maggie while we were there. Our Dr has 2 waiting rooms, a sick and well. But, I had to go to the back door...they make all undiagnosed rashes go there, talk about feeling like an outcast! Anyways, it turns out Hudson has roseola. All kids get it before they turn 2, we think Brooks had it and never got the rash. The rash disappears pretty quickly, the Dr said he'd be better by Turkey day. And she said his ears looked a lot better.

Stupid DVD player

Our just over 1 year old dvd player died this week. It was a big name brand and decided to start turning itself off during playback. Since we don't have cable we watch a lot of dvds. I was pretty mad, because I had just gotten "Amazing Grace" from the library.

So, Ryan went out today and got us a new dvd player for under $40, that's less than a month of cable. I hope it lasts longer than our other one, of course we didn't buy the same brand.

Playing in the tent

Brooks loves to play in his "tent". You know, drape some blankets over furniture and voila, a tent to play in! He likes me to come into the tent and we go night-night. He always wants Hudson to play in the tent too, but Hudson didn't feel up to it today. Brooks seemed a little sad that Hudson didn't feel good enough to play with him today. At least he got to play with Maggie this morning while I was at the dr with Hudson.

Poor Hudson

He has another ear infection, this time in both ears. He had one exactly one month ago. He's doing okay, clingy and whiny, but he does have some moments of happiness.

Peek a boo!

Ugh, I don't feel so good!

Cooties and Peek a Boo

Brooks is really grossed out by Hudson's slobber. This morning Hudson drooled all over a toy that Brooks was playing with and Brooks brought it over to me and wiped it off on my shirt. He seemed really disturbed by it!

Hudson has a new game he plays. He crawls around and then just stops and lays his head down on the floor and won't get up until you say peek a boo. He thinks it's hilarious (it is)!

Weekend update

Saturday night we attended a bonfire/potluck with our new friend, Ying. There was a lot of yummy food (International Friendship gatherings always have the best food!), and it was the perfect night to stay warm around a fire.

Sunday afternoon we went to Gangy and Pop-Pop's house to celebrate Gangy's birthday. The boys had a fun time!

A wink for you!

Yeah, I'm winking at you!
