plagued with strep throat...and then the flu.<br />
<br />
but we didn't let that stop us from making<br />
pancakes...blue heart pancakes to be exact.<br />
(that the poor little squirt wouldn't even eat<br />
because his throat hurt too bad)<br />
<br />
aside from being sick, it really worked out<br />
in our favor because we got to have dave<br />
home with us...i think we'll get strep throat<br />
again next year.<br />
<br />
so for valentines day we got naps....which<br />
is all this girl wanted anyway, am i right?<br />
it may not have been the sexiest valentines<br />
day in the world...but we certainly felt the love.<br />
<br />
dinners from family (we have the best family ever)<br />
dinners from friends (we live in the best neighborhood ever) <br />
being together.<br />
dave and i washing our bedding together late at night<br />
because bennett threw up on it....that, people, is true love.<br />
<br />

loves preschool.<br />
loves his baby sister...<br />
whom he calls "mabel honey".<br />
is into telling jokes...<br />
especially if they include potty<br />
words..."toot" "bum" poop",<br />
you name it...he thinks it's hilarious.<br />
boo for me.<br />
<br />
he is so fun<br />
so sweet (minus the toot jokes)<br />
and so sharp.<br />

mr. b tripped and fell...<br />
and bit through his chin.<br />
<br />
it. was. awful.<br />
<br />
after 2 attempts at sedation<br />
to try and stitch him up<br />
i ended up holding him down<br />
because the sedation<br />
wouldn't work.<br />
<br />
about 4 hours later we finally<br />
got to go home.<br />
<br />
thank you to the sweetest<br />
doctors and the sweetest nurses<br />
(who kept kissing him)<br />
at the lds hospital er...<br />
hopefully we never have to<br />
see you again.<br />
and a big thank you to the best<br />
mother-in-law in the world<br />
who stayed with us the whole time. <br />
<br />
grateful that it was just a little<br />
scare and nothing serious.<br />
<br />
ps<br />
partially sedated bennett is the<br />
sweetest/most heart breaking<br />
thing in the world.<br />
<br />

hello summer.<br />
<br />
we've been spending<br />
almost all of our time<br />
in the water...but maybe,<br />
just maybe i'll<br />
dust off this deserted blog<br />
and start posting again. <br />
because i really do miss it...<br />
and all my sweet bloggy friends. <br />
<br />
after all, we do have a<br />
baby girl on the way and<br />
a new home to chat about :)dave, catie, and baby
