When we're healthy we're happy!

I have been trying daily to get on here and post something and it just hasn't been happening. I decided today that I needed to do it so I could cross it off my list and feel good about myself- so here I am. It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here. Last week Brad's break from school ended and he started back up again. We were off to a good start Monday and then Monday night- illness struck the Phillip's household. It started with Drew throwing up all night and then was subsequently passed to everyone except lucky baby Brinlee. It took us til Friday to completely recover- but I am happy to say that we are all doing much better now. I have been feeling pretty sleep deprived and run down myself due to all of that- but am back on the horse now and doing much better. Here are the highlights that have happened since I blogged last.
-As we are driving to pick Brad up one day a couple of weeks ago Sadie says, "Mom- I think Drew is missing some hair in the front." I pretty much ignore her and say it is just the way the light is shinging on his head. She doesn't say anything else. Later that night as I am giving him a bath I notice there is a big chunk of hair missing in the front. I ask Sadie and she then spills her guts about cutting his hair earlier that day. Needless to say she is now on scissor restriction and I am just grateful that she didn't slice Drew's head open.

-Sadie needs to be registered for kindergarten by the end of this week and it has been stressing me out. There are so many choices around here for schools she could go to and I don't want to screw her up by sending her to the wrong kindergarten. Good thing my sister is a teacher and I can call her numerous times a day (which I have done) to ask her opinion on each school. I am going to an open house at one more school tomorrow and hopefully will make up my mind shortly thereafter.

-Brinlee had her two month well check and is now weighing in at 9 lbs 1 oz. I was pretty surpised by that. She still looks so tiny that I was hoping she would be somewhere around 8 1/2 pounds. She is perfectly healthy and didn't even mind her four shots too much. She is smiling a lot lately- especially when placed close to her best friend- the fan.

We now have our room back to ourselves. Brinlee has moved into the crib and is now officially sharing a room with Sadie. Drew still wanders out of his toddler bed in the night so we have affixed a hook and eye to the outside of his door and it is donig the trick.

I think that catches things up for now. I am committing to more consistent blogging-even if I have to do it in the wee hours of the night. Our next big event that is fast approaching is Brinlee's blessing which will be on Brad's birthday. Time just seems to be going by so fast. It is nice to have some quiet moments in the day to look at what I have and realize how lucky I am.
