For those following along, this week was a BIG improvement upon last week. The boys were done with their antibiotics and Ivan has been improving everyday. And as of today is no longer coughing at all.
Last weekend we were able to celebrate Clara Beth's first birthday with her. She is just the sweetest. And her Winnie the Pooh birthday was super fun!
The rest of the weekend was fairly layed back and fully enjoyed. After being a sick home for 2 weeks, while healthy, even the mundane things are more enjoyable. It's all in the perspective.
Since we were back on our feet, we got out of the house this week. Monday brought a playdate with friends (Mom's and the boys). On Wednesday we participated in a roller skating PAT party. I was very hesitant to go by myself with all the boys. But they made it very kid friendly.
For starters, it was pretty much just kids 4 and younger. They let you bring strollers out onto the floor. And they had these really neat walker-like-things that the kids could push. The boys had a blast and we will definitely be going back.

| Maybe next year Ivan! |
Thursday, we had friends over here and now on Friday we are resting up for the weekend. Jason was pretty busy this week with coffe stuff, church stuff, and school stuff. He still managed some playtime.
We were learning about Jonah this week, and this big fish made the story come alive. We even got to read about Jonah while in the belly of the whale.
Ivan Jude- 15 weeks old He's pretty much been living in pajamas the last week. He doesn't seem to mind though.
While sick, he was waking up in the early morning hour, but happily, he is back to sleeping til 7am. We're all trying to catch up. He's found a new play spot this week. Seriously, if I didn't have my blog post on the older boys to rely on, this guy would miss out on a bunch. Apparently he was ready for the exesaucer. He's like, "Come on Mom!"
Also, he's apparently ready to practice sitting up. I've noticed he's been tryig to use his ab muscles to pull himself up, but I though he was WAY to young for this business. Apparently not. And he loves it. SLOW DOWN SON!
This kid is obsessed with his hands. Hoping this is normal, and praying it does NOT mean teeth are coming.
Up next is the Si Guy! Silas John has some BIG news of his own. He wears underwear. Last Friday something clicked in his head. He decided he'd rather do his business in the potty rather than down his leg. HOORAY! So far, he's been even easier than Amos, but a jinxed myself and he had an accident right after stating that at friends last night. Gummy bears go a long ways with this guy.
Last up - the oldest, as he likes to remind us - Amos Jack. And he is so old. Most days he amazes me with what his little mind is thinking. He loves to pretend. He loves to explain. He loves to learn. He also loves his own way and stalling like crazy before bedtime, but we're all a work in progress, right?
He's our little actor, and will make sure and let you know exactly what your lines are. Do NOT deviate. The other day we were playing "Stall-before-bedtime-and-I-get-in-trouble-but-only-pretend". Oh geez.
They bring us so much joy!
