Update

Ok well... sorry for the delay in posting... between a mini vacation, sickness and life in general time just got away from me. I will try and be better... at least two a month... LOL
Ok I will start where the last blog left off.
We spent some time, with some good friends, at the zoo for the grand opening of the water area. It was a lot of fun... and very wet.

Not to long after that we spent some at my folks. We go every year for Vacation Bible School. Lex was so excited to be in the bigger class with her brother. Unfortunately we only managed 2 1/2 days of VBS, as the kids both got sick. We stuck it out at my folks for another few days, but when Mike came we decided it would be best to go ahead and come home. Of course, the decision was made when I also got sick.
One virus 3 different effects. Tim had a high fever for about 3 days but continued running a mild fever for almost a week, Lex had the beginnings of Pneumonia and I came down with a severe ear infection. It was not a fun 10 days or so till all of us started feeling a little better. I am extremely grateful that Erika nor Mike caught it. Mike was wonderful during all this as well, he really stepped up and helped out. I am very blessed in that way.
We did not get to many pictures being that we were all sick, but I like the one of Tim and Erika... I am so glad he is such a good big brother to her.

I did not forget Erika's 8 month pictures, I just had not uploaded anything from my camera in awhile. She is getting so big now. She is still small weight wise (barely cracking 15 pounds) but she is long. She is now pretty mobile, rolling all over and getting into everything. She is also trying to crawl, but so far has not managed much more than pushing herself back and flailing her arms and legs so she looks like she is swimming. She is also going from the laying position to the sitting position now. She babbles all the time now... I am convinced she will be a talker like her brother and sister... Mike and I are working on some forms of silent communication/sign language just so we can have a conversation. :)

We have also managed some trips to the mall in the play area. The kids always have a good time, and we are thankful they have someplace air conditioned they can play in.

We spent our Independence day with some good friends. We had a great time swimming and making s'mores in the afternoon. After that we spent the evening watching fireworks with some friends from church. It was a good (and very late) day.

Anyway so now you are all caught up for the moment. Like I said I will try and get better about posting so please make sure to check back. Thanks for stopping by and I hope this finds you all well.
