Thanksgiving

Makayla spent Thanksgiving with a fever! Poor girl. She has been battling a nasty ear infection that didn't seen to want to go away. She wasn't much fun to be around (sorry cousins). She layed in our arms looking pitiful. We had to make a call to the doctor the next day and get a new prescription filled. Hopefuly our next time together (in 2 weeks) all the kiddos will feel well and have fun together.

It's very difficult to get a picture with everyone smiling and looking. I don't think we've got a good one yet!

Cousins Together at Last

My sister JoEllen made a quick trip to Indiana this week to visit our Grandma in the nursing home. This was the first time all the cousins have been together. JoEllen recruited her mother-in-law to come and help her with the babies (thank you Brenda!). What a trip it was for them! Their first out-of-state trip went smoothly. My sis sure has her hands full!

Ohio Visit

Makayla was able to meet her cousins Jakobi and Maylee this weekend. They are my sister's kids. They had a good time "talking" to each other. So did the adults. The crazy thing is, Makayla is 9 weeks and they are 7 months! They were born 3 months early. It's amazing how much they have grown and how well they are doing. This was the first time I had been able to hold them and to see them since they came home from the hospital.
