Fun!

So far our summer has been pretty busy, but so much fun! Gavin LOVES to go to the park and play, we are still looking for a play system for our backyard - that would be so much fun for him! Gavin's newest obsession is blowing bubbles! He gets so excited when we get to be outside! I'll try not to lose that cord again, so it won't be so long between updates! We are so excited for Krista and Shane's wedding next weekend! Wait until you see G in his tux - SOOOO CUTE!

G's Hospital Stay

Here are some pics from Gavin's stay in the hospital. These were taken on the day we got to go home, so he looks pretty good. Those first two days he was pretty miserable, and just slept all of the time. I hope we don't ever have to see him go through that again - it was so sad! Since then, we have been illness free - I hope it stays that way this summer!

Found it!!!!

I finally found the cord to download pics.... well, actually Bryan found it. I had finally given up today after I thought I had looked EVERYWHERE! I was just getting online to order a new one, when Bryan goes - hey, I think I know where it might be - and goes right to the cabinet it's been hiding in! Oh well, at least we found it. These are pictures from our fun weekend with Lauren and Ellie - way back in April! We can't wait to do it again - we had so much fun with them!

just another update....

Hey everyone! Well, for some reason, I cannot find the cord to download my pictures from my camera onto the computer, so you'll have to do with another update before you see the pics! So much for an illness free spring - Gavin spent last Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the hospital with dehydration. Poor guy - he couln't keep anything down, it was sooooo sad! It took a lot of IV fluids before he finally started going potty again! He spent more than a week home with me, so the transition back to daycare was a little rough - it didn't help that his first day back he got bit, the second day he tripped on the sidewalk and twisted his ankle, and he also had an allergic reaction to the sunscreen - rough week. but all is well and he's feeling much better, back to eating like the human vacuum that we're used to. He lost over two pounds through this whole ordeal - maybe he feels the need to gain it all back right away! I have some really cute pics of him pushing his IV pole up and down the hallway... where in the world could that cord be?!? Anyway, I'm starting to prep for another busy summer. I had told myself we were going to try not to plan so much for the weekends, and try and spend more time at home; that plan doesn't seem to be happening this summer, but that's ok - we like to go places! I hope all is well with everyone! We're really starting to countdown the days to Krista's wedding... I can't wait!

Update

Hey Everyone - sorry it's been so long since I've been able to udate. I just wanted to add that Gavin got his stitches out, and did so good! He just sat on my lap and hardly made a sound!!! He's been saying a lot of new words, which is so fun to hear in his little voice! He loves playing outside, thank goodness the weather is finally cooperating. We are going to go and look for a play system this weekend, I'm afraid he won't ever want to come in once that is up! I'll have to post pictures from our sleepover with Lauren and Ellie, I haven't had a chance to download them yet. We had SOOOOOOO much fun! We were kind of snowed in for the night, but we did make it to Pizza Hut - which Ellie was trilled about! "I LOVE PIZZA" she yelled when they brought our food to the table!! We played dress-up, did our nails, watched Cinderella and all slept in the basement! The three kids shared all the toys really well and got along great - no major meltdowns were had! We can't wait to do it again!!!! I love having those little girls around - plus, I don't think Gavin and Owen are going to ever want to try on my dresses or do my fingernails - I guess you never know! I'll get some pictures up sometime this week... we are currently battleing another illness. Gavin got sick on saturday (threw up in front of all of my friends at my jewlery party) that was a lot of fun! THANK YOU again Alison for cleaning that all up!!!! what a good friend! Since then he's had a fever and has just been really tired. I kept him home with me all week, hopefully he can go to daycare tomorrow - that staying up all night at work and then being awake all day with him is for the birds - thank goodness that was only one day. He seems to be feeling a little better today, he finally starting eating again - hopefully he has an illness free summer!

Gavin's big "OWIE"

So, while I was away on my girl's vacation, G managed to fall down and crack his head open! Thank goodness he has such a wonderful daddy, who to note, is not afraid of blood.... to come to his rescue! So now, Gavin will gladly point out his "owie" to anyone that cares to listen. His stitches come out Thursday morning - hopefully that goes ok. Poor little guy, his first battle scars!

Bahama Mama's!!!

I just got back from my three day cruise for Krista's bachelerette party - and we had sooo much fun! Four of us left Wednesday morning, and spent the afternoon at the Magic Kingdom. We had so much fun, and got to see quite a few things in our short time there. We picked Carrie up at the airport that night and then left Thursday morning for the ship! We spent all day Friday in the Bahamas. We went to the resort Atlantis and enjoyed some of their water attractions and also their beautiful beach! I would definitely visit there again. It was so nice to spend time with my sisters and just relax and enjoy the sunshine. I couldn't believe there was still snow on the ground when I got home! When I called Bryan on Sunday, he informed me that he had to bring G to the doctor on Thursday because he fell and hit his head and needed stitches! Poor little guy - of course Bryan handled it like a champ - no problem for super dad! So Gavin has three little stitches on his forehead - I'll get a picture and post that too a little later!
