Over due update

Well the verdict is in. (Or better yet was in late last week.)

Joshua had Rhinovirus (common cold) and para influenza 3. He has really perked up and was released from the hospital late Sunday night. I tell you....it was SO hard to not see him for a whole week! It was shear misery. I am very happy to have both my little guys right here with me. :)

The first night Joshua was home he was up about every 1/2 hour throwing up or crying. It was really rough considering that Trevor spoiled me all week and let me sleep in until early afternoon. It was pretty nice, but now I owe him. ;-)

Last night was much better. He slept pretty well and only hurled a couple times. I didn't have to change the bedding repeatedly like I did the night prior.

We laid pretty low yesterday and today we took advantage of the sunshine and went to Matthew's beach. I can't tell you how much I love being just a couple minutes away from the lake! The weather was mild and breezy but Trevor took a dip anyways....in his jeans. Joshua fell asleep as soon as he hit the beach blanket. Next time we will be more prepared; swim suit, TOWEL, beach toys and toys for Joshua. And an anchor for the umbrella may not be a bad idea. The first gust of wind picked up the darn thing (which is really big) and blew it right into a group of day camp kids. UGH. I spent the rest of the time holding it down.

Here a couple of pictures to document our day.

Thanks for checking in on us!

Here is Joshua immediately after hitting the blanket.

Trevor enjoying a dip in Lake Washington. (The kids in yellow shirts would be the victims of the 'umbrella incident'. There were about 25 of them all gathered in a 'huddle' when the umbrella attacked them. YIKES!

Because we were so prepared (NOT), Joshua decided to play with Trevor's french fry box. There happened to be a couple left in the box and one fell out and landed across his upper lip, like a mustache! I was trying to get a picture of it before it fell.

This was the result! He does NOT and I repeat DOES NOT like to be laughed at. Not even at, he just doesn't like you to laugh. The result is this face, HUGE crocodile tears and WAILING! Then you have to laugh at him which makes everything even more dramatic. It is so funny. As cute (in a sick little way) as this is....I hope he gets over it. We are a family that enjoys laughter. If he doesn't want to be the target of this laughter he needs to stop this action! He has been doing this for quite a while now. There was even a night that we rented Mall Cop and he was in his crib. There was a funny part and when my mom and I started laughing Joshua turned on the water works. My reply was "dude, its a comedy....deal with it!"
