Life around our house has not been very exciting. We have had sick kids for a few weeks now, (with a head colds). Morgan got it first, it only lasted a few days for her. Then Natalie got it 2 weeks ago and is still battling it. The poor thing her nose runs all day long, her face is all red from all the wiping. As you can see in this pictures her skin has seen better days. She looked so cute with her baby.
The weather is getting nicer, we spend 2 hours outside today. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather, My kids are so much happier when they can play outside. Garrett got the tether ball pole up this week for the kids to play with. We also spent sometime working in the garden, I guess I should say Garrett did most of the work. With my growing belly it's getting harder to bend over. We planted some more raspberries.
I feel like my belly has really gotten a lot bigger the last month. I have a bad pinched nerve on the left side of my lower back it's getting really painful. By the end of the day I'm in so much pain. My left leg goes numb a lot. I wish June was closer.
In a month we are going to get to go visit some of Garrett's brothers and sisters, we live close to all of my family but most of Garrett's family live far away. My kids can't wait, they love seeing their cousins. Mary is also coming home for a month and the kids can't wait to see Grandma. It's been strange for them not to be able to drive over anytime they want and visit. Plus they miss the grandma candy drawer, and the fun things at her house.

Oh I feel your pain! I get sciatic pain when I am not pregnant and it is just about unbareable so to get it plus be pregnant has got to be miserable! Hope sweet Natalie is feeling better soon and the warm weather gets here quick

I find that Puffs plus lotion does wonders. No matter how many times I wipe the kids' nose they aren't sore! Wish we had warmer weather around here!!

That was a great picture of Natalie. I sure cannot wait to see the girls. I miss them terribly. I will have to restock the grandma drawer. Sorry to hear about Jande's grandma. Looks like coupons really can work. That is wonderful. Good for you. Sure love you Mom
