Spring has sprung - for the time being at least :)

We enjoyed a beautiful day yesterday. We spent the afternoon with friends and Aubrey got to play outside with Carter, Brayden, Easton, Jaden, and Elly. She had so much fun on the swings and in the sand box and even has a few war wounds to prove it. She is definitely not afraid to get down and dirty with the boys. I think we have a little tom boy on our hands. We are looking forward to more warmer weather coming up towards the end of the week. I am hoping I can take her to the park. I'm also looking forward to getting out on the golf course. I'm so excited for Spring!!!

On a side note, I am going part-time starting the end of May so I will have more time to spend with Aubrey. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do this. Brad has been too busy to watch Aubrey and try to get his work done at home. Hopefully this will eleviate some of his stress and mine too! We are also preparing to put our house up for sale. We have a lot of jobs to get done around the house before we list so the next month will be very busy. I am not looking forward to this but we are running out of room for Aubrey's toys! I am hoping this will be a smoother transition than I am imagining.

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter and hope everyone else had the same! Aubrey finally seems to be doing better (knock on wood). She learned how to say her name today. She is talking up a storm and learning new words daily. She still loves to dance. Anytime music comes on she starts dancing. It is so adorable. Happily I can say, there is not much else to report :) Therefore, I will just attach a picture from Easter.

Where do I begin???

Let's start with the good news. Aubrey's follow up appointment on Monday showed her ears are finally improving but the doctor wanted to put her on one more round of antibiotics to ensure we get all of the ear infection taken care of. Now for the bad news...she was running a 102.7 fever at the office which they deemed due to a viral infection (aka - they have no idea why she has a fever). Aubrey awoke that night about 1 hour after going to bed and vomited all over me.....twice. Poor thing just felt terrible. She woke up several times throughout the night crying. On Tuesday morning, both Brad and I started feeling pretty crummy. I napped when Aubrey napped and awoke in a cold sweat. Ironically, so did Aubrey. Needless to say, we have done several loads of laundry for vomit covered clothes and sweat soaked sheets.

Forward to Wednesday - I think we are on the upslide from the crud. Brad and I just feel very tired and have headaches. Aubrey is still a little whiny and did wake up tonight about an hour after going to bed crying. She wasn't running a fever so I don't know what is still bothering her. We gave her Tylenol to try to help with the aches and pains she might be having.

I look forward to the days that I am not posting on the latest illness in our house. I mustered up all the energy I could and disinfected the house today. Hopefully I killed all those germs!
