Glad the week is over

I am glad last week is over! Both kids were sick and it was freezing outside! I took Campbell to the doctor on Monday because she had an ear infection, then I was back at the doctor Tuesday afternoon with Carter who had croup! Carter was perfectly normal on Monday while there but Tuesday he woke up with a fever and the familiar sound of a seal! When I called the doctor and they heard him cough she said to bring him right in! When the doctor listened to him she said he was so bad he needed a double dose of steroids right away! Yikes! But thank goodness we didn't have to go to the emergency room. For the most part, Carter acted totally normal; there has to be something majorly wrong to keep him down! The steroids made Carter literally bounce off the walls! I have never seen him act so crazy! Little Miss Campbell had her 4th or 5th ear infection; I am losing count. I am hoping with the warm weather the kids will get back to being healthy again!

The excitement of the week came when Carter's new car seat arrived! Carter was so excited! He woke up from his nap and saw it sitting in the study and he literally jumped for joy! As soon as Brandon got home from work, Carter wanted him to put it in the car! We have been talking for a while that Carter would get the new big car seat and he would pass down his old one to Campbell. Although, at the rate Campbell is growing she may be in the infant car seat for another year! She is just going to be little. At the doctor she only weighed 18 lbs. 8 oz.! It probably doesn't help her case that she HATES milk! She even notices the color difference between the milk and water and won't take the milk! If she does actually take a sip she quickly closes her eyes and spits it out! I have even tried adding strawberry powder to it and that doesn't work!

The bigger excitement is that we are getting ready to put our house on the market. Indeed we may be crazy but we would love to take advantage of the great buys out there. We have totally outgrown this house! We need a basement and 1 or 2 more bedrooms! We have talked with several agents and are determined we will not give away our house! So with the warm weather approaching we are hoping the perfect couple is out there just waiting for the sign to go in the yard! At least that is what we are praying!

Carter loves his new Britax car seat . . . complete with 2 cup holders!

Campbell loves playing with Carter's trains . . .

and Bailey's crate!
