Things went a little crazy on us around here, and I had forgotten to blog. I am back for now. Averi went into the hospital the night of December 2nd with croup. It hit her hard and fast, and she had the whole emergency room staff freaking out. Thankfully she responded to the medicine quickly. It wasn't anything 2 days in the hospital didn't cure. The doctor said it is not common to have a recurrence of croup, but if it does happen it is never as bad as the first time. Thank God for that!
Now to play catch up since August:
Evie had her first day of Pre-K in the middle of September. It started 2 weeks later than normal because they just built a new children's wing that is great. Evie loves every minute of it. She has the same teacher as John Reagan had. Poor Mrs. Steffanie has found out real quick that Miss Evie is not like John Reagan. She has even commented several times on how Evie likes to talk. Evie is also one of those who hears every word you say; however, it is questionable on whether she will actually do what is you say. So you can imagine how that goes in the classroom.
We celebrated Greg's and Averi's birthday in September as well. Averi turned 2! I still can't believe Little Miss Petite is 2. She is a fireball to say the least. And fearless. She will attempt anything. It is only by the grace of God we have not made several trips to the Emergency Room. That and the fact that we pray over her all the time because she is just like her daddy, who by Averi's age had already experienced multiple broken bones.
We did our annual pumpkin carving in October with Greg's parents, Pawcaw and Nana. Last year Pawcaw missed out because of work, but he made up for it this year. John Reagan had Daddy's help with his pumpkin.
Evie had Nana's help.
Averi could have cared less about what was going on. She spent all her time chasing Max with the dump truck. Max loved it, of course. Anytime he can get attention from the kiddos, he is in heaven.
Mommy spent my time taking pictures galore.
The finished products...
We also did a family campfire in October. This is a favorite activity of the all 3 kids. Anytime the weather gets slightly cool, they start asking and hagging until we get around to it.
How John Reagan likes to eat his campfire supper!
Averi just used the bread as a plate. She picked everything out of it.
This is the season of the year we make and keep our family traditions, from pumpkin carving to campfires to gingerbread house making. That will come next blog if baby doesn't come first.
