The flu

Little Miss Stella got her first illness...and she got a nasty one! She ended up with influenza A and had two weeks of fevers (mostly low grade) but five days of fevers 102-103. Poor babe had such a hot little body and just moaned and cried. I felt so bad for her. We suffered through it with lots of snuggles and kisses (on the cheeks).

The little lady is now 3 months old and is the happiest, easiest baby. She is pure sweetness and I cannot get enough of her!!

We had a great Christmas at Mom and Dad's house and were spoiled by 4 days of good eats, lots of naps, and lots of hands to help with the kids. Silas was so fun this year for Christmas. We worked on the true meaning of Christmas, explaining Jesus' birthday, which was slightly confusing for Silas...he was just sure Jesus would be at Namma and Papa's house for his birthday party celebration. 😊 What a joy Christmas and even snow are when you have children that being so much excitement to little things. 

Silas continues to be an amazing big brother. He tells me almost every day "I'm a man" and there is no arguing with that boy that he is not an adult. He's just sure he is. He and Jake have become best buds as I am usually tied up with Stella. Now that she's a bit older and can be entertained in her bouncy seat or swing, I'm able to do more with him and Jake like playing a game or playing the Wii. 

These are our two gorgeous babies. Seriously, folks....could they be any more beautiful??!?
