Playing Pirates

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

'Cause We're Cousins!

How cute are these two babies? 

Harlan and Shelby are so sweet together.

Shelby just watches Harlan and reaches out for him. 

He loves to give her hugs and kisses.  

.

Wavy has fun with Tanner and Shelby, too,

and they are good at sharing!

She is so stinking cute! 

Aunt Sam just can't resist putting bow-bows in her hair!

Just warming up...

Harlan has ran a fever all day!

Despite doses of tylenol, cool wash rags and a luke-warm bath, 

this fever was persistent!

Even though it was late at night and our sleepy boy was resting, 

when his fever hit 103.2, Momma said let's go to the hospital and get checked out!

Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville was fantastic. 

Luckily, we caught the emergency room at a lull in activity and we only had to wait a short while. 

The nurse in triage gave Harlan some Motrin and we were off to the waiting area to play! 

There were so many helping hands.  A nice hospital worker gave Harlan some stickers and crayons.  Plus, we had games and cartoons!

Harlan had a very thorough check by the doctor. 

He had just the smallest start of an ear infection.  

The motrin helped his fever come down and we were back home and on antibiotics before we knew it! 

Get off of my back!

The backing and edging for Harlan's quilt is all sewn up!

Now its off to the embroidery shop!

Baby in a Box

Silly faces! 

  

Cute & I know it!

Cheese!
