It's all about the growth!!!!

Oh my word!!! It has been a whole month since I last posted. Wow!!! Thanks to all you guys who have been checking in and sticking with me. I have been such a slacker. I need to be off this durn computer now and making some crafties for a crop this weekend but when I saw how long it had been, I had to just do a quick update. We all are doing fine. I spent two hours in the emergency room last night with all three kids. I had given them baths and when I was getting Brayden out, I noticed that he had some red spots on his legs. Well, upon closer inspection, both of his legs were completely covered with red welts. I had Nana check it out and she said that it looked like an allergic reaction. Had it been the middle of the afternoon where I could watch him, I would have given it a little while but it was 7pm and the kids bedtime. I didn't want to take the chance on it getting worse and me having to haul everyone out in the middle of the night to the ER nor did I want to take the chance of something happening in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. So, I piled the kids in the car and off we went to the ER to be on the safe side. We were only there 2 hours which was pretty good considering. But trying to manage three cranky kids by myself, it felt like ages. Diagnosis: Hives. They gave him some Benadryl and sent us on our way. They were pretty well gone by this morning and he has been fine all day. I don't think we will ever know what caused it but I hope it doesn't happen again. It was pretty nasty looking. Anyway, no excitement really other than that. I have been busy, busy trying to make my hobby work and being a semi-single parent. Matt has been working the 6pm to 2am shift for the last three weeks so we really only see him on the weekend. He is gone by the time we get home in the afternoon and sleeping when we leave in the morning. I have done a lot better than I thought I would though. I have been working on my patience and counting to 10 when necessary. Here are a few recent pictures. I have some others to post later.
