Seabrook and Easter

The weekend before spring break we headed up to Seabrook for a long, relaxing weekend. It didn't quite start the way we planned but we adjusted and made the best of a crummy situation. On Easter day Liam came down with a fever which caused us to stay home and watch movies all day. His fever continued for multiple days and we ended up having to take him to the doctor to get checked out. After 5 days of fever, we ended up getting the okay from his doctor and packed him up and took him to Seabrook. He slept the first 2 days and Preston and I took turns taking Callie out to explore and enjoy all that Seabrook has to offer. Luckily, Liam was too sick to realize what he was missing out on. By the last full day, Liam was able to head to the beach for part of the day and he and Callie enjoyed every monent of being together on the beach. They flew kites, dug holes, built sandcastles, and splashed in the mud puddles. Although it wasn't the most ideal family vacation, we were together and had a blast.
Both Callie and Liam were sick on Easter so we didn't take many pictures. We enjoyed a homemade dinner of macaroni and cheese and hot dogs and watched movies all day. We still had fun dying eggs and finding our Easter baskets hidden around the house

We lucked out with some amazing weather while we were in Seabrook.

A Callie only day on the beach = mud puddle jumping, kite flying, and tons of giggles.

We got one day with everyone enjoying the beach together. We lucked out with mild winds and amazing sun.

Callie was so excited to show Liam the beach

This boy is so happy digging

Daddy is a much better kite flier than I am..

Zip line on the playground. Cars in the house

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
