Laughter is the best medicine...

This is a true glimpse into life around here, I wrote this a week ago and I'm just now finding the time to hit the "publish post" button, there are just not enough hours in the day!! But, our days are full and blessed and for that I am so grateful!!!

Last weeks update... :)

We made it through our first big illness of the year! All four kids had some version of a cold for two weeks! It was a long two weeks :(. McLleyton got hit the hardest with a horrible Croup that had us standing out in the snow at 10pm, 12am, 1:30am and 4am to let the cold air help his breathing. There was something sweet and peaceful about snuggling my sweet boy watching the snow fall in the middle of the night- a major contrast to his high fever, horrible cough, and gasps for air! It was one of more scary bugs we've ever had!

Stennson also made it though his first big cold! He was really a trouper, but of course when you can't breath it's hard to suck a paci, sleep and breathe. I am still trying to convince him that it's a great idea to go back to sleeping through the night! Somehow, in the midst of everyone being sick, Stennson seemed to grow up months in just weeks! He is acting so old lately! Moving around his exasaucer, putting everything in his mouth, talking up a storm and LAUGHING! :) He is quick to laugh these days! He thinks Shaelyn is so funny and yesterday he was laughing so hard at McLleyton! He is also very in love with his daddy! I love watching him with Matt because it's like a different little side comes out when he sees him, he truly just lights up!

Hanging out in PJ's with daddy :)(we had quite a few PJ days around here lately!)

For the really die hard Stennson fan's here's a video of him playing with Matt! I can't believe he is almost 5 months! Definitely wishing there was a pause button on life sometimes! I am so thankful for this sweet boy!
