Bear Lake

Kurt had the opportunity to play Mr. Mom about two weeks ago when him and Kylee went to Beark Lake for his mother's family reunion. Kade and I passed on going since I was recovering from a c-section less than 2 weeks before.

After seeing pictures and hearing stories, it seemed like Kylee had a great time. She even fell asleep on the boat when they were driving through white caps. What a crazy girl! (Even Kurt's sisters mentioned how impressed they were with Kurt's mommy skills.) Why does this side of him only come out when I am not around?

Kade and I enjoyed the slower pace of life and I tried to sit down and relax a little while everyone was away. I also want to share my gratitude for pacifiers. Kylee never took one so I had the joys of being a human pacifier for two months. Boy can I say I am glad to not be experiencing this again with Kade, especially with having Kylee to take care of as well.

There's No Place Like Home

So what is with my kids and hospitals?

I hate them and yet I keep ending up at one more than I would like. (Don't get me wrong: I am very grateful for modern medicine and am grateful that I do not have to give birth in a bathtub or etc., but I love to steer clear of them as much as possible. I was able to do this for about 16 years until I had children.)

I had Kylee=hospital, Kylee feveral seizure=hospital, I had Kade=hospital, and now Kade is sick=trip to hospital again.

This little rendezvous trip was not planned. We went to the doctor this morning because Kade has had a 102 to 103 fever since yesterday morning. Once we arrived at our appointment they sent us to the Emergency Room to run tests. Thankfully all the tests have turned out negative so it is looking just like a viral infection. I am glad for all the precautions they take when children are this young, but it does seem like a little overkill when you are going to be stuck at the hospital overnight. Oh yeah! Keeping fingers crossed that Kade's fever will be gone by tomorrow so we can go back home. (So much for our Bear Lake family reunion trip scheduled this weekend. The odds must really be against us because Kade and I did not go to the last one either that was two weeks ago.)
