Today is Opening Day for the Cardinals! :)
Nothing new to really report on this except that I donned my Cardinals shirt (as did Chris!) to cheer our team on to victory!
Pictures and stuff to come later on tonight!
Have a good one!

Update
So Kate does indeed have allergies...thankfully there are only 2 (and sort of a third!)!
She is very allergic to dogs...bummer considering we have TWO of them. Chris is also allergic to them but not as bad as she appears to be...so we are going to have to find a new home for at least one of our puppies and it breaks my heart....I don't know that there is any other option.
The doctor also tested her for a milk allergy and she does indeed have that allergy as well! :) Thankfully we figured that one out a while ago and she's been on soy milk, etc. for a quite a while!
The sort of third allergy happens to be quite ironic...she has a small allergy to SOY!!!! But thankfully, the doctor said that if she doesn't seem to be affected by it then we should just leave it be and go with it...thank goodness!!!! She likes her soy milk and we would LOVE to keep it that way! :)
So that is what is going on with Kate....
Now I'm off to change to go for my workout...wish me luck because I may need it!!!! Although I'm ready to get my rear in shape!!!! :)
Until next time....

Allergy Testing...
So today Kate is being tested for allergies...it's been a long time coming and today is the day. She's being tested for everything indoors and some foods...please keep your fingers crossed that all is well and she is allergy free!!!! I'm honestly not holding out hope seeing as how EVERY other person in our family has them but I can dream, can't I? :)
I will update later!
I will update later!

What We've Been Up To! :)
So what have we been up to lately? Here is a quick recap....
*Kate took her first step the other day! I was home in the afternoon with Chris and she turned and took a step away from the couch! :) She's done it one or two other times and other than that...nothing on the walking front! She's one of those kids though that won't do it until she knows she can do it all the way! :)
*Daniel is pretty much cruising along doing what he always does! He has had a little bit of a three year old attitude lately and it is honestly starting to drive me a little batty! :) But he seems to be slowly snapping out of it!
*Chris has been sick. There really is not much else to say about the poor boy lately...he did get a fantastic report card so we are very proud of that!!!! :) Other than that he has been feeling pretty down in the dumps. He seemed to be doing MUCH better last night...running around and playing, etc. (with only minor fits of coughing) but today seems to be exhausted again...not much of an appetite and a runny nose that is about to do him in apparently! :) I really don't know what is wrong with him...I wouldn't worry about the nose or the coughing (since we have those under control)...it's the lack of energy (except for last night!) and the lack of appetite that really has me worried...
*SNOW....we had quite a bit of snow here yesterday...not what we were looking for at the end of March but it is what it is! Luckily it held off until we got home from Math Contest yesterday (which the kiddos did an amazing job at!!!!!!)....I honestly couldn't tell you exactly how much snow we got since it has been blowing and now it's melting! It was enough to make driving a little hazardous...
*There are only 38 days of school left! :) I can't wait for summer this year...Kate is old enough that I can take her outside and let her play while I watch her brothers ride bikes and play with chalk, etc.!!!! She will also be able to go to the wading pool and do more than lay in her car seat or on a blanket! :) The boys are VERY excited for warm weather and the chance to go play outside! :)
Other than that I think things are pretty much the same around here. We are working hard to keep the house in some sort of order while attempting to keep the kids healthy (although we haven't been so successful at that lately!). I have some new pictures that I will get posted a little later on!
Have a good one!

Sickness...
So this winter has been hard on all of us...we have been the sickest household. Between Kate and her ear infections/colds and the rest of us with the stomach bug, colds, etc. we have all just been a mess!
Fortunately, Kate will be getting tubes put in and her adenoids out here pretty soon which should take care of most of the issues she's having...
Currently we are fighting some bug with Chris. The doctor thinks that most of the issues he's had this week are related somehow to his asthma...and who am I to argue...I don't know anything medical. This has been a rough week around here...Chris had what seemed like a stomach bug Sunday and Monday morning, went to school Tuesday but wasn't himself when he got home and then he has been home the rest of the week with a fever, coughing, a tight chest (due to the asthma) and various other complaints that have come and gone....
Stressful? Oh yeah. In fact, I am about at my wits end with everything that has to do with being sick...no one likes to be sick and no one likes it when their family members are sick but I think pretty soon I may very well lose it....
But what doesn't kill ya makes you stronger, right? :) This will hopefully all pass soon and be a distant memory. Better yet not a memory at all (and knowing my memory this may be true!)....
Please keep your fingers crossed that we are on the road to no more sickness!!!!!
Until next time....
