Kaleb's Turn

I had a lazy day. I spent most of it with either Gracie or Kaleb laying on me sick with fevers. Gracie's wasn't too bad, I think she was mostly jealous of the attention Kaleb was getting, so whenever Kaleb wasn't in my arms, she was.

But my poor Kaleb, he just wasn't himself today. He spent most of the day napping or just laying in my arms watching his sisters play. His little body was so hot and just before bed his sinuses got all stuffed up. I rubbed some stuff on his chest to help him breath easier and gave him some Tylenol to keep his fever down.

I just know I'm going to come down with this plague after today. How could I not with sick babies hanging all over me all day long? I'm probably overdosing on herbs and vitamins in the vain attempt at not getting sick. Maybe it won't be so bad though when I do catch it...Here's to wishful thinking!

I made this super yummy whole wheat bread yesterday, and it turned out so pretty I had to take a picture of it! Oh, how I LOVE the smell of baking bread. And then cutting into it fresh out of the oven and watching the butter melt into all those steaming little cracks. Then there's that first bite of pure wholesomeness, yum!


This picture could have been taken today he was so sleepy, but it wasn't. I took it about a week ago. He had missed his morning nap and fell asleep eating his lunch.

I can hear Kathryn's laughter just by looking at this picture. I love how Gracie's peeking around her arm. I'm not even sure what they were doing, but whatever it was, it was funny!

I cherish these fleeting moments of watching my girls do things together like this. Their sweetness takes my breath away.

Kathryn has fallen in love with books and she's shared that love with Gracie by reading to her everyday. Now Gracie can't wait to learn how to read just like her big sister.
