First ER Visit

Well we had our very first Emergency room visit Sunday evening. Ian had broken out in hives which we were okay with as he was obviously fighting what we thought was some type of virus. What was of concern to us, which is visible in these photos, is the swelling of the face and eyes. He has no known allergies to us; however, whatever reaction he was having, we were afraid he was having an allergic reaction to something. Apparently we haven't left the 19th Century yet, because the fever, swelling and sandpaper like rash were all associated with Strep bacteria and in 2-5% of the cases, the reaction is Scarletitis or better known as 'Scarlet Fever'. Really? Didn't we leave that behind us long ago. And we thought all we had to worry about were the H1N1's and Swine Flu's, etc. I guess it is fitting because if something is going to happen to us, we ARE that 2-5%!

We made the trip to the upstate for the Holiday weekend and the Clemson Home opener. It was a fun relaxing weekend full of activities and playing. Below are a couple pictures that will take you to each web gallery to see more.

Look how big they look now. They don't look like babies anymore!

Daddy Juice

Free for All

I taught the kids right! They only go for the best. From the look of this picture you would think that I sent them in the local Starbucks to get arm loads of coffee and bolt out the door. "Quick kids, run in, get the goods and head for the door!" What you can't see is the getaway car sitting just outside the door.

Orange and White Game with Gam'Ma Gam'Pa

Momma took the kids up to Clemson for the Annual spring Orange and White scrimmage and to see Gam'Ma Gam'Pa. There were jumpies there, as you can see below with Ian playing quarterback. There was also time for a boat ride which the kids love, however Ian kept complaining about his life jacket, ("boat backpack"), because it kept riding up and hitting him in the chin.

Easter Weekend, VB 2010!

We made the trip to Va Beach for Easter this past weekend and for the first time with the babies to see Yaya Reid, Poppee Wayne, Aunt Paige, Uncle Jason and Cousin Conner. Aunt Keith also made a visit from Suffolk to see everyone, including the babies for the first time. I believe we all need a little vacation to rest from our vacation as Yaya Reid had so many events planned, we definitely got our fill of to do's. The kids had a great time and there were so many things to do, everything from the Botanical Garden, to the Aquarium, Mt. Trashmore, playgrounds, Easter egg hunts and candy oh my! The first picture will link you to the web gallery of the Easter Egg hunt while the second will link you to many of the weekends events and fun pictures.

Daffodil Farm 2010

This year we found a Daffodil Farm in Beaufort at Cruden Farms. It was closer that driving in to Bluffton to where we went to last years Daffodil Farm. The kids loved it! It was a little breezy chilly and a grey day but a beautiful day anyway. With kids this adorable it couldn't be anything other than a great day. Ian looks like a Gap model in these photos with his squinty eyes and Emma with her hair blowing in the wind. Mmm, couldn't you just eat them up? Beautiful babies!
