AJ’s 33rd Birthday

Unfortunately, AJ had to got to work unexpectedly on his birthday. Brooke and I made him a cake and she decorated it!  And we all go to got to dinner with him and sing him happy birthday that night.

A Good Ending

Today was a tough day, Alex has been sick with a flu-like illness and very fussy as to be expected.  Brooke woke happy this morning but upon coming home from school had a fever and felt pretty crummy herself.  We all tried to get some fresh air in our back yard this afternoon, once we got everyone to stop crying.  Then, after everyone had been feed and had a nice warm bath we came back downstairs to relax a little before bedtime; while I was getting some cleaning up done Alex brought Brooke his Whales book which she happily read to him.  It couldn’t have been a cuter ending to such a down day.

Sleepy Boys

Poor Alex has been sick. That means that we take turns throughout the night multiple times, either getting him back to sleep or sleeping with him in the nursing chair.  This morning AJ finished out a late morning wake up with Alex in his chair.

Brooke Riding Her Bike

Brooke has been getting better and better at riding her big girl bike with her training wheels. We have even gone on some very very slow family rides around the neighborhood.  Hopefully, as she gains skill and confidence we can all go on bike rides to the neighborhood park.
