So, the boy and I are on a quick adventure. He is visiting our new school today to hang out in the first grade and take admission tests. We left in the afternoon and stayed in a hotel so we would not have to drive twice in the same day. He has been concerned for some reason with the idea that he might not live with us some day and has been asking if he could live with us forever. Last night we had this convo again and I tried to assure him that he will probably want to move on his own when he is 18 or so, but I told him that he could always come and visit. He thought about this while playing with his new Lego kit. He looked up and said that he would want to visit every Friday so we could still have our family pizza movie night. Pretty sweet.
Less than a month after she started crawling we have a little girl who is pulling up on every piece of furniture we have and standing (even if only for a second or two) on her own. She is intoxicated with her sense of freedom and this, too, is pretty sweet. Fun stuff.

Rite of Passage
Well, we finally had our first emergency room visit with the kids. Mo has a double ear infection and had a terrible reaction on Saturday night. We think it was her antibiotic. She was pretty upset in her crib and Beth went to check on her around 9 PM. Her face was swollen and her eyes were nearly shut. She had hives all over her body. Pretty spooky stuff. Luckily, she was breathing fine and she was even smiling at the nurses and the doctor in the ER. Some prednisone, some benadryl, and some sleep put her back in decent shape. The past couple of nights have been rough as her whole schedule is out of sorts. Last night I was up with her from 2:15 - 4 AM and I am beginning to feel the effects of the lack of sleep that I am feeling. Luckily, my mom and dad are here so Gram did not have to go to the ER with us.
