Who are those kids??? Hehe… I love that picture. They all look like they are up to something. Of course, they are usually all up to something…. There were new sunglasses in Easter baskets two and three at Jerome’s parent’s houses. Henri didn’t even mind his!

The swing set was also a big hit.

The girls are back in school and I had hoped things would return to ‘normal’ (whatever that may be…) but unfortunately I am still very sick. I went in yesterday for more tests to see if we can figure out what is going on. Fortunately, they do not think it is anything baby related at all and are actually looking more into issues with possibly my gallbladder, pancreas or other insides. It is hard to be mama to the kiddos when there are times the pain is so bad that I can’t get off the couch.

Today the baby is at grandma’s house so I am going to just rest rest rest. I do need to run out and get him diapers and food since supplies are running low. I have stopped beating myself up about not using the cloth diapers right now or making his own food, but I haven’t been able to exactly keep up with laundry and food making. Thank goodness I truly do have the bestest husband and every night when he gets home immediately helps out with the kids and get the baby to bed and also gets up any time Henri is awake and night to get him back to sleep. He has also been helping so much with food and just generally taking care of things around here. I guess that is what families do.

Wish me luck that whatever this is finally goes away or we can at least figure out what it is and make me better!! Off to sip some tea and try to nap.. It is supposed to be in the 60’s the next couple of days so maybe even sipping tea in the sunshine will be part of this day..
