October 5, 2014 Back in the hospital

 Sunday night scripture study.  AKA: pile on Dad time.

 Ike's eye infection, and he use to be chubby.  Well, he used to be a little chubby.  If you look at the pictures as the week progresses he thins out.

 Hanging out in the ER.  His poor iv.  They had to poke him so many times to get a good one.  They admitted him to grow cultures on all the samples they took to see if there was infection any where else.

 Hanging out with Dri in the hospital

 Hanging out with dad in the hospital.

I was leaving to the store and Rex gave me a kiss and said one another kiss, two and this went on the kiss and count until he reached twenty and he said "there I gave you twenty kisses."  He was so proud of himself.  This is better then poor aunt dri.  This week if she asked for a kiss Rex has been adamantly replying, "NEVER!"

 Dad, Rex and Chloe went on a bike rid to chambers.

  Rex is such a good big brother.
 We finally got to come home from the hospital.

 ooooo, I love they both have the same look on their face.

 Ike loves to hang out in the sunshine.

 Ike also likes it when you blow dry his bottom.  Random, but he loves it. 

Chloe drew this drawing the first week of school.  It is a self-portrait and a quote of what she can do to be responsible.

Yesterday I went kayaking with my dad and my brother.  The funny thing is she wrote this before they went.

 The actual Kayaking trip with Dad and brother.

Three awesome people.

1. I like cotton candy

2. I like ice-cream
3. I like gum.
4. I like it when chloe spells phonetically.

 Chloe being lion

 Rex being lion cub. 

 Chloe and Rex believe Ike needs toys.

 Siblings.

 Chloe and Dri conversation about good and bad choices:

"what if there were only bad paths?" Chloe inquired

"there is always a good option." Dri retorted

Chloe then started the hypothetical "what if your bother took one of your toys,  then you only had the choice to take it away from him or tell your mom?"

 Dri countered, "Chloe, I think there is another pathway in that situation."

Chloe grinning responded, "there are two other paths...you could ask your brother nicely to give it back, or you could let him play with it."

 Sunggles

 Ike's eye look so much better.  We are hoping things get uneventful quickly.

 Family reading time.

"Oh mom your big belly's gone!  Now you can bend over."

September 28, 2014 Ike's first week

Blog x3  I made three post today so you may want to look back if you want more details.  I have been a little crazy with the pictures. I warned you about all the pictures.

 We stayed in the hospital for 25 hours after birth.


 Waiting to get discharged.

 Chloe learned about photo bombing.

 Three amigos.

 Chloe helping with first home bath.

 Dri and the kids made us a cake as a coming home surprise.

 Ike thinking about tiny sea horses.

 Love.

 Brothers.

 Sometimes Ike gets Hangry.  Hungry and angry...He likes to eat.
  

 Jamie came and did a photo shoot.  You can see how straight his hair is when it is dry.

 Chloe lost her other front tooth.  She is sick again so we were waiting for her prescription.  She looks like the Father on Strictly Ballroom.

  
 I like salt

 on my popcorn... 

 ma-mam-mum-mummmm.

 Ike has long toes.

 And an adorable massive cowlick.

 Chloe and Rex are super helpful and like to use my pumping supplies as megaphones.

Rex had hiccups and Dri scared him and got rid of them.  Chloe and Rex decided to be super helpful and return the favor to Ike.

 Chloe and Rex have been talking about the pecking order this week.  We got a chicken book from the library. Chloe asked me if daddy was older then me and then proceeded to list, "So, Daddy is the top of the pecking order, then mom, then me, then Rex, then Schuyler, and then Ike is the bottom.  Unless he gets married then he will be on the top, unless his wife is older then him then he will be second."

Brothers. 

This week has been so fun.  It's a joy to have a new member in the family.
