Quick Takes Vol. 47

 
I got to watch my niece again this past week. It is so fun and interesting to have two babies to play with and compare what she can do compared to Michael.  She is 3 months older and it is amazing the difference she talks, rolls, and can scoot off a blanket.  It really helps me stop and savor how little Michael is knowing that in just a few months he will be doing the same thing.

The Team has been battling some different illness the last week.  Theresa had fever and slept most of  Friday. I was glad it was a day off from school so she didn't miss, bummer for her sleeping the day away.  Saturday I ran her and Michael to clinic and found she had Strep.

Michael had a cough and I didn't know what do you do for a baby a few weeks old. Turns out not much unless it turns into something really bad. So it was a long week of coughing for him and me being worried about his breathing trying to decided if he needed to back in to be checked.

Eleanore was maybe sick on Tuesday, she stayed home with a sick tummy but, I don't know how sick she really was.  

Laura and Anne had the cough and runny noses. 

Talking with people and reading Facebook I found that it seems that maybe what we struggled with this past week and weekend wasn't so bad. 

Theresa had to disguise a cutout turkey, the Team had lots of ideas of what the turkey could be.  I am proud to say that my idea of an astronaut won!  Isn't the turkey cute, it only took us four days to get it all done.

Ring sling from SweetPea Ring Sling came this week.  Michael seems to like it he slept in it last Sunday for close to 2 hours while I helped Eleanore clean her room including running a vacuum cleaner. 

Look at those eyes ~ 6 weeks old
 
So I don't look all over the Internet in a few months I'm saving a link to two great articles about large families.  I think that I may have moved up into that category with Michael. I'm not sure since I live in North Dakota it seems that everyone has four or more kids so my team isn't strangely large.  Anyway onto the links:    Heather at Mama Knows or Dwija at House Unseen


Eleanore celebrated her second Sacrament on Saturday the 16th.  She celebrated Reconciliation we are now moving on to prepare for First Communion in the spring.  When I say moving on she had me at a bridal shop in town to try on dresses Saturday afternoon. We had about 35 minutes before dance rehearsal so I asked what should we do and she says go to the dress shop.  We didn't buy anything but, she is ready to go back and try on more this week. What a difference between Theresa who tried on two or three dresses and bought one that day no shopping around for her.
