catch up time!

It's been awhile since I've posted, so I have lots to catch up on! We've been busy. We've been sick. :( But we've still had lots of fun!

Here are a few pictures from a recent visit with family. Will and Carter got to play together again, and we all had a blast watching them!

We also have been harvesting from the garden. {We = Matt} Lots of tomatoes!!

And 3 sad peaches. They look pretty here, but so sad...full of ickiness inside. And these are the only three we got out of like 100 on the tree! We learned that bluebirds are pretty, but not great for your peach crop.

And we had a very fun playdate with Harper! Clearly they were not interested in looking at the camera, but they did have a great time playing together {ok, next to each other}.

And they played with the new water toy.

Will showed me the sun.

Played with the water table, too!

And then, later that afternoon, Will got sick. {We are still praying that Harper stays well!!} It was the first time he's really been sick with anything other than a little cold, so it was scary! He had a virus that gave him a fever, but the fever caused him to have trouble breathing. Because of that, we ended up at 2 doctors for 5 hours, enduring a strep test {actually 2, and each resulted in Will being gagged by the Q-tip tester thing and throwing up all over himself and me}, a breathing treatment {unsuccessful}, a chest x-ray {clean, whew!}, and a blood test to check for elevated white blood count {also good}. So final result.....just a virus! Yay! However, the whole process was a bit stressful and tiring, so we both needed to rest the next day:

I am happy to report that we are all well now, and ready for more fun!
