Last Day of School

Big tears from me this day.  It just means another year has gone by way too fast.  The boys had such great teachers this year.   I dropped off Nate that morning and had to leave because my emotions got the best of me.  They had a rewards program at the end of the year for Nate's class and he got most huggable...again.

Here are pics of the boys first day of school verses the last day of school.  I think Wes has changed the most.  Where is my baby???

Mother's day event

Well Mother's Day weekend doesn't mean that you get a break from being a mother.  It is one job that I cherish.  Poor little Wes got a bug bite by his eye on Friday night.  The next morning it started swelling up.  By the end of Saturday afternoon his eye was getting worse.  I took him by CHOA emergency clinic and they gave me all the signs for infection.  They said if it started swelling more to come back.  So we gave him meds that night and I checked on him around midnight and things were fine. By the next morning I go into his room and it is dark and I can see he is pointing to his eye.  I turn on the light and I try not to panic.  It was swollen shut.  I raced him down to the car and we headed to CHOA of Atlanta since the one by our house was not open till later.  They had to take blood from his arm to see if they saw infection because he was on an antibiotic at this time due to another famous ear infection.  They were afraid that it could be covering some signs.  The worst thing about if there was an infection in the eye is it can go straight to the brain.  So after a lot of tears and screaming we got blood out of his arm.  Everything turned out OK.  We continued to give him benedryl and by the end of Sunday it started going down.  But now every time he gets a bug bite I have to really watch it and give benedryl immediately.

But to make me feel more better I took our first belly shot of baby #3.  I feel maternity clothes coming soon!

But what made me feel so much beter is gifts from my boys.  Nate's letter put the biggest smile on my face.  Wes made me a nice flower picture of hydrangea with his fingers.

Day out with Thomas

Day out with Thomas is held in Chattanooga TN.  We got the tickets back in January with the Hartogs.  I am not sure who was more excited about this day...me or the boys.  We packed up early to get there by 10am.  Both boys were so excited.  We even rode in golf carts to and from the parking lot and Santa drove us (he looked like Santa and he said he was one of his helpers).  The boys had a great time playing with the train tables and getting tattoo's on their arm.  Then they found the stamp pad and put stamps on their hand.  They also got to ride their first train ride.  Wes wasn't too sure what to think about it when the train started moving.  He had this curious face and wanted to sit down in the seat to check things out.  Nate kept looking out the window and thought it was cool.
After Thomas we headed downtown Chattanooga for lunch.

We had a great family day together with close friends.
