We Miss You!

Happy Birthday buddy we miss you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Birthday number 3 already? WOW! They were so excited for this day to come, we stormed into the room started singing happy birthday. Ian popped up with a big old grin on his face and Emma buried her face and started to cry. Poor thing, not sure if it was the terrible singing that made her cry or if it just scared her. Then we get downstairs and Emma doesn't want her cinnamon roll breakfast, just the usual bowl of cereal. After much persuasion, Emma finally agreed to blow out the candles and reached to grab one only to burn her finger on hot wax. Poor girl! Aside from the few moments of drama, it was a good morning! School party and family parties yet to come, YAY!!! (Click on any of the photos to see more on our web gallery).

We're 3!!!

YUMMY!

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%!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

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.
