Blur

January 23rd, 2014

This week was a complete blur.  Between ridiculously early wake-up calls from the kids and Christian's absolutely terrible stomach bug {resulting in a completely sleepless night and approximately 10 loads of laundry, among other things}, it was a week I was glad to have survived with some sanity remaining.

Looking back on the pictures, I realized I let the not so wonderful memories that filled the week overshadow some of the really great times we had.  On Tuesday we enjoyed music class with our buddies.

Yummy instruments!

Pretty girl!

She loves her sweater from "Yia-Yia"!

She didn't get enough at music class and had to practice some tunes before bed.

We were so thankful that Daddy made it home safe and sound after numerous canceled flights.  

Welcome home BBQ dinner from Meme.

Little did I know, an hour after I went to bed, I'd be up with a sick little boy for the rest of the night.  It's amazing how quickly the stomach bug hit him, he seemed totally fine when he went to bed.  He was up from 12:00 am- 5:30 am throwing up every 15-30 minutes.  I've never experienced anything like it.  It was SO sad.  It was so bad that I went through all our linens {towels, wash clothes, pillowcases, and sheets} that night cleaning up after him.  He finally fell asleep around 6am and slept until 8.  Of course, I was up with Lindalee at 6.  Welcome home from Las Vegas, Daddy! 

Thankfully, Christian bounced back quickly.  Lego movies are the best medicine!  This is a picture of him on the "sick couch".  I tried my best to keep the germs under-control, not easy with two little ones in a small apartment!

Pretty awesome bedhead!

Christian is such a wonderful big brother {most of the time}.  He insists on "reading" Lindalee stories while she goes to the bathroom.  He also is "putting her to bed" these days.  He loves to sing her his version of lullabies.  It's pretty sweet.  Unfortunately, she doesn't want anything to do with him at bedtime, she just wants "Mama!".  Christian doesn't seem to mind.

So thankful for Christian's quick recovery and that Lindalee is healthy {probably shouldn't jinx anything}.
