So much change

I know, 30 lashes with a wet noodle for me.  It has been so long since I have blogged.  We have been prettu busy and then sickness hit our house and it's just tough to find the time to sit down and write. 

The kids have grown so much.  We took them to the Zoo Monday and since it was not a weekend day there weren't thousands of people there so we could let the kids run around and not be confined to the stroller or right by our sides.  We fed the giraffes, of course and rode the carousel.  Twice.  Nate loves it any animal is fine with him and he likes to go up and down, Juliet only wants to ride the giraffe, she does not want to go up and down.  Only the giraffe, nothing else. 

Last week Nate had pneumonia and strep.  He was a very sick little boy and it really scared mommy and worried Dr. Ori.  You know when the doctor is concerned, the kid is sick.  A week before that I had the flu and a week before that Jon had the flu.  Other than an ear infection that wouldn't go away, Juliet was the only healthy one in the bunch. 

Speaking of Juliet, she has gotten back in the habit of fighting us to go to bed.  She wants to stay up late and is a bear when she gets up in the morning because she is still tired.  We have tried to get her to go to bed earlier but I think her nap may be messing with her being tired.  She also has decided she doesn't want to sleep alone, she's not alone she has at least 50 animals in there with her. 

Nate is into the hugging stage.  He will hug whoever you tell him to.  When we would do his nebulizer he would be sitting in my lap and would wrap his arm behind my head and bring my face close to his so he could hug me and get a kiss.  I finally got him to let me fly airplane with him.  He grinned so big, it was something new that really made him happy.  He is such a good little eater, likes most everything I put on his plate.  Nate had his first dental appointment, which went really good.  He climbed up and only cried when they flossed his teeth.  The dentist confirmed a suspicion that I had that he had too many teeth.  He does have an extra tooth, it's why his teeth are so crowded.

Juliet got to go to the game store with daddy.  You would have thought she was going to get to visit a real princess in a castle.  She was jumping all over the place telling me rapidly she was going to the game store.  She is getting better at eating.  We don't have to fight her as hard to get her to try new things.  I put them on her plate and she whines, but will eat, usually it is only 4 bites.  She found the control to the bed the other day and thought it was funny to fill it up to rock hard then let all the air out.  Still haven't gotten it back right!!  :)  She still really loves dance and art. 

The kids are growing so quickly it's hard to keep up.  If you aren't on flickr, you really are missing out.  You do need a flickr account, it's free, and I have to add you as a friend.  It's easy. 

Hope everyone is good!
