I want to start out by congratulating Jim and Heidi (Brian's sister and her hubby) on the birth of beautiful Ruth Christine this past Tues.! We are so thrilled that she arrived safely and that her 4 big brothers are going to get the joy of doting on a little sister! Hannah and Ellie are excited about a girl playmate in the family too!
Our recent activities...
Well, our family seemed to have succumbed to the nasty bug that's been racing around the country. We weren't tested for it, but we're assuming it was H1N1 and it was not fun. Hannah was the first to go down (dumb school germs!!!), then Sam, then myself and finally Ellie. Praise God that Brian stayed healthy through it all! (our new best friend is Airborne! :O) We have finally been fever free for over 2 days and it was so great to get out of the house yesterday for the first time in almost a week! (needless to say, b/c of our infirmities, only Brian has been able to meet sweet little Ruthie in person and the girls and I are going crazy b/c we want to see her so badly!)
Before the unpleasant illness struck out household, we had been taking advantage of any beautiful fall day that came our way. Here are several pics from a recent pre-sickness outing to one of our favorite spots, The Morton Arboretum! Enjoy the fall fun!
Hanging out in the tunnel w/ our buddy Isaac.
Love the lush green, too bad I couldn't catch Ellie looking my way! What is it w/ 3 year olds!?
Got her! Aren't they sweet sisters?
Our handsome 17 month old.
Beauty on the slide.
Another gorgeous little girl (or "big girl" if you ask her!)!
Enjoying the fall decor w/ our wonderful friends Isaac and Isabel!
Ellie's look is just classic...
This was right before we were headed home for naps...do you think they're tired?!
Once home & down for her nap, Ellie decided the hallway sounded more comfortable then her bed! Crazy girl!!!!
Hope this finds you all healthy and enjoying your fall as well!!!
