LIfe at it's fullest!!!

As I sit here thinking to myself, I keep wondering where the time is going and how can I get it back. The days seem to be going by so fast that I seem to miss them more and more lately.
Aaron is now 4 months old. He weighs 17 lbs 8 oz and is 27" long. I could not believe it. It seems like only yesterday that I brought him home a newborn. Such is my busy life. He is now fully laughing and smiling at everyone. He is a very happy baby, most of the time. Ben had to take the baby on Sunday as I had him laughing and interrupting the Sunday School class.
Molli is really enjoying being a Sunbeam. She goes around singing the Sunbeam song where ever she goes. Molli is also learning her Phonics and letters so that we can "pretend" to go to school. She still sits in the front window and cries that she wants to go to school when the buses drive by. She is also looking forward to Spring and Summer coming. So that she can play outside and go to swim lessons this summer. Boy will my life get busier.

The Funny Things In Life . . .

As Molli gets closer to her 4th birthday I realize that she is trying to grow up to fast. Like the other day, she wanted to go outside and when I didn't respond fast enough she asked me nicely to "please get outside now!" She will also "help" by taking things out of a hot oven without somehow burning herself. Today's little comment really took me by surprise. I told her that her friends Anna and Carlie were sick and that she couldn't go and play with them today. A couple of minutes later she told me that "Anna is better now so I can go and play." I found out that Anna and Carlie both had Ear Infections again and were not able to play. This did not deter her at all. We finally had to distract her by going out to dinner. I am glad to say that she'll get to go play with her friends soon.
Aaron is growing by leaps and bounds. He is now in 6-9 month clothes. He also is now starting to laugh an actual laugh. He is very ticklish on his feet and neck. He loves to watch Fantasia 2000. When he gets to watch anything besides sisters movies. Molli is in love with being the big sister. She also tries to make Aaron do what he is not able to do yet, like sit on his own or play tea party with her. He does however love to grin at her, Mommy and Daddy. He can melt your heart with one of his smiles. Hopefully soon he'll smile at Grandma Cindy, he's already smiled at Papa.

Oh What Fun ...

Oh what fun we're having. Aaron is doing better but has to stay away from church until the end of the RSV Season. Which makes taking Molli harder. We'll just have to compromise and take her with a lot of Purell Hand Sanitizer with one of us at a time. :-P
This week we had some friends come over to our house and sled down the hill in the back yard. They all had a wonderful time. The snow is finally stopped for now and I can't wait for Spring and Summer to come around again.

An Update . . .

I am proud to announce that Aaron was able to come home from the hospital. He is doing much better. He still has a cough but the happy little guy is now smiling and playing like his old self more and more each day. I have found that he's quite the ladies man. He had all the nurses and the medical students stopping by and seeing if he was OK. We are really glad that it only took 4 nights in the hospital to get better. The only bad thing is that now we are all stuck at home for a little while. Molli is also getting better. She got to spend time with Grandma Cindy and Papa. Riding the 4-wheeler and getting to stay at Julie and Roy's new house up in the Mountains. We also would like to thank all of you for the prayers and support you all gave to us at this time.

RSV!!!!!

We have been at the hospital with Little Man Aaron. He has gotten RSV bad enough that the Dr's sent him straight to the hospital yesterday. Hopefully it will not last that long and we'll be able to go home very soon. Molli also has duel ear infections as well. Which makes spending time with both of them very difficult. I'll keep this blog posted as to when we go home and how everyone is doing. Well wishes are being sent to all who reads this blog.

Here we go again...

Well it's that time of year. Colds and sickness everywhere. Aaron has gotten another cold along with that an ear infection and he is having a hard time breathing. We took him to the Dr's again. only to be told that it is not RSV. Thank goodness. Molli also has a cold and we trying to figure out how to stop the sickness from coming back again. Molli also loves to help take care of Aaron. Specially when he is trying to sleep. What a way to start the new year. Hopefully this is not a pattern that will continue all year. We are very blessed that it is just colds and not something worse.

A Quick Trip ... Las Vegas Here We Come

Aaron and Molli got to meet their Great Grandma GeGe this last week. It was an impromptu visit to Las Vegas. We went with my mom and sister and her 3 youngest children. When we arrived we found that my cousin's kids Hannah and Trent were there too. It was a great time had by all. At least for the kids. The Adults were glad for bed time when all went quiet for a few hours. I am really glad to see them getting to know their other cousins. We are planning another trip in March to go down there again. I know that Molli can hardly wait.
