:(

Well, Cason was STILL warm when we woke up this morning, and couldn't stop coughing for the first hour or so of our day. Neely was sounding kinda weezy, although she's in a happy mood. So we went to the doctor, and these two...
and
...both have RSV. Probably Paige too, although she's just got a little cough now and feels fine. Cason also has an ear infection. :( Say some prayers for them please.

(I chose the old picture of Cason because Neely has started sticking out her tongue a lot like Caso did as a baby.)

Quarantined

This weekend's weird. Cason is still sick. I thought he'd wake up happy yesterday, but he still felt really warm, and was still coughing. He slept most of the day on the couch.
Poor buddy. So sad. Even his bath didn't make him much happier last night. But he was really cute.
He's about the same today. Paige was fine yesterday. We went on a date in fact. She wanted McDonalds. It was packed, but we found a table.
She had more fun than it looks like. Ha. She got her own ketchup. Haha, it was so hard for her to push it down.
She borrowed my phone to text people.
She's funny. She'll tell me what she wants to say to someone, and I tell her how to spell it. She'll randomly throw in happy faces and stuff in the middle of a word.

But now she spent a couple hours throwing up early this morning. She hasn't thrown up for a while, and seems to be in a good mood, but she's relaxing on the quarantine couch with Cason, anyway.

Gettin' Physical, PHYSICAL

Neely and Cason have been sick. :( Neely spent a day and a half feeling warm and crying more than usual. Then Cason had a furnace for a body, and started coughing. He seems really tired today, but mostly just has a runny nose now.
I hadn't done laundry the other day, but it was chilly in the house, so Neely wore her babylegs and looked like she was ready for some aerobics.
There was a wall in Neely's room that still needed something, so I made her this alphabet print and finally framed and hung it today. Paige told me the "wiggly ones don't even look like letters." :)
I really have nothing much to talk about at the moment, but lookie here:
I love the tops of her little ears sticking out under the headband, like a cute little elf baby.

Horse-sitting

I sat out on the rocking chair with Neely today, watching Paige and Cason play. By the way, I like when babies are starting to get hungry and you kiss their cheek and they automatically try to bite you. :)
Paige was driving along the sidewalk, and Cason hopped on top. They drove up to me and Paige said "Hi. Pretend you didn't know me. Pretend I'm your friend." So I said "Oh, hey friend, how have you been?" She goes "Good. This is my son Cason. I'm driving him to his new job. He picks the old berries and takes them somewhere else. That's his job. I have a new job too. Can you babysit my horse?" I said "Sure." She said "See you later."

Bombermen (and Women)

We did a late Valentine's Day dinner tonight. Dad, Trudi, and Colton babysat for us. We were gone an hour and a half or so, and they're hooked on Bomberman now.

Love Love Love

It seems to be easier to get all 3 kids to pose for pictures than it was when we had just Paige and Cason.
But maybe they're just at a more willing stage, because the older two will pose together too.
Haha! I love them so.

I've been on a kids clothing buying spree. Tyra, Chris, Sarah and Jenna, and Veronica and Dan all found that guitar shirt for us in different sizes! So Paige will have one soon, and Neely will have one in several sizes. She'll wear that tshirt all throughout her childhood. :) I also ordered a couple shirts from the website for the girls, Paige got a cute ballet slippers shirt and Neely got THE CUTEST mermaid shirt. I love me some mermaids.

THEN we went to Target and used some gift cards yesterday. Cason's very proud of his new Buzz and Spiderman tshirts.
Now then, I love when chubby babies chew on their pudgy fists.
AND when they gaze into their mama's eyes.
Jess took Valentine's Day off, which was nice. We just relaxed mostly. Neely and I got up before everyone else and baked up some cinnamon rolls and got the table ready for a Valentine's breakfast.I remembered Tyra making us breakfast one St. Patrick's Day when we were little and she colored our milk and eggs green. I loved it, so I did it with their milk today, only pink. (Turns out it tastes pretty weird, I figured you wouldn't be able to tell, but we could) Then I got Jess up and he brought them straight to the table.
Neely watched from her swing, cooing and smiling at Paige.
They got LITTLE gifts. We found a little doll for Paige, which we thought would go nicely with the dollhouse, PLUS her name is "Preppy Paige". Cason got a harmonica. Ha.
It was pretty much a perfect start to our day. Even when Neely had a poop explosion in her swing, because then we got to give her a bath and have a sweet smelling baby all day. While I got her ready the kids and Jess played with the new doll and the dollhouse.
Cason used his "Cason boy" doll. The rest of the doll family played that they were having a normal day, but "Cason boy" was of course living a much more exciting life.
We relaxed. And played outside a little.
And wore new shirts.
And spit up on new shirts and then wore OTHER new shirts.
People delivered Valentine's treats, and Paige and Cason even put on a show for us, while Neely napped sweetly on her daddy. A successful Valentine's Day.
