Last Monday Tristan spiked a high fever and we ended up in the ER again. I am soooooo thankful for all our good friends who covered our family in prayers. Well we found out later in the week what the fever was from. Tristan caught hand foot and mouth. Oye... the day his sores came out was the day Alyssa came down with her fever/headache/sore throat. And sadly... it was also the day we were planning on going to Idlewild.
So that trip was canceled. Alyssa was so bummed. It was going to be such a fun weekend. We were planning the zoo and picnics too. But that was not in the books for us.
We stayed close to home to not spread our germs. Man am I ready to get out and about again! The kids and I took walks to keep us from going stir crazy but go figure we get sick on the first nice weekend of the year!
Here is Tristan and his sores.
Praise the LORD Alyssa never got the sores though! She would have been a peach to deal with.
Tristans hair is growing and we keep calling him "peachy"
Alyssa being a nectarine fan, not peaches did not understand why we called him that. Guess it has been a long time since we tried to give her a fuzzy peach! lol anyways... his hair is growing in light and fluffy for now. Hard to get a pic of it. But I think in about 2-3 weeks he is going to have a nice head of hair!
Here are a few other cute pics I took the other day.
Ok, ok. how many pictures can you look at of the same kids huh? Good thing it is MY BLOG! bwahahahaha I can put up as many as I want
And in other rambling news, I went to walmart today. I saw a million people I know! Hello all my blog fans that I saw today! Made me realize how long it has been since I updated. So even though I was a cleaning fool tonight, actually putting away the folded laundry (I know mom - scary huh? I mean when I am pregnant, it just makes no sense for me to fold the laundry, trudge it upstairs to put in drawers and head back down only to have to go back up to get it for the kids to wear the next or even same day - I mean what is the point?) I decided to jump on before bed to update. Just for you!
We are on summer vacation for homeschool. I am busy arranging my schedules for next year. I am just about ready. I am very pleased with the things I have put together to use for Alyssa. Tristan I am going to play it by ear I think. I am not going to start into sonlight until at LEAST Feb... and might just wait until the next year to start him in prek. I will just do what I did this year and give him busy work while I work with Alyssa. I have MORE then enough things to keep him happy and learning.
So that is my LONG update. Have a super night!
oooh ETA (editing to add) - I had my drs appointment on Thursday and I got to hear the heartbeat again. Always nice. And I scheduled my big ultrasound. A little bummed because the dr said make it in 2 weeks from now. But I guess they were booked or something because I did not get in until 4 weeks. So June 26th it is. Pray for open legs for us! We want a peek at the sex because all my clothes went to friends to bless since I figured we were so blessed. And now I need baby clothes! So knowing the sex sure would make yard sale-ing nicer for us!
Aw, those HFM sores look awful. :( I have been thinking of you guys and wondering how things have been going. I'm very glad to see that the battles have been fairly routine overall (at least as far as your normal routine is right now). Can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl. :)
A place for me to gather thoughts, keep memories and gain sanity as I embark on the homeschooling journey. Also a place to update my friends and family on my son's journey with fighting a.l.l. Leukemia.
