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..

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.

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom. Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles. Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.

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...
