Current Events!

It has been quite a while since I have written so I will bring you all up to date.  Rilla was sick last week from Suday evening through Tuesday.  She threw up quite a bit Sunday night and had a fever for a few days.  She has been better since Wednesday but has been cranky.  I had to put all her dresses away and get out bigger sizes (3T & 4T) because all of her dresses were too short.  She is a little taller than average but has a long torso.

Shirley is 8 1/2 months now.  He is getting his 3rd and 4th teeth coming in (his top two).His  allergies and eczema have been better because I am giving him benedryl twice a day (doctor has prescribed it) and will have an appointment with an allergist next week.  He is sitting up on his own now and three days ago actually ate some food willingly.  I was eating chocolate pudding and he looked like he wanted some so I gave him a taste and he kept wanting more.  Later I tried sweet potato and he ate that too.  The last two days he hasn't wanted any baby food.  The last picture is an example of what happens when I ask Rilla to get Shirley some toys or she thinks he needs toys.


Walter started school on the sixth. he is in second grade now. He is so excited to be back in school. They have a new school building this year. I sure miss him during the day. I really enjoyed having him home during summer break. These pictures were taken at the back to school fair at his new school.

Jem missed Walter a lot when he is at school. He got used to playing with him every day that it will take some time for him to get used to playing by himself or with Rilla. I started our co-op preschool yesterday. This time another of my friends joined us so now we have three kids. I am very excited to be doing it again. We are still having it twice a week. All three kids really had fun. Aurora (not her real name), in the middle, doesn't like her picture taken. That is why she looks upset in the picture.
