Still sick

Poor Braedan is still feeling sick. He's sleeping in my arms right now. He has a hard time sleeping for long when I put him down because he starts coughing. He seems to only have this problem during the day and is able to sleep at night, mostly.

Jerry is also sick. He NEVER gets sick. He spent most of yesterday watching movies. Jerry is better, but still sick today.

Hopefully the boys will feel better tomorrow....

Sicko

My little boy is sick today. He has a little cough and a runny nose. Poor baby! It is so hard to watch him be sick.

We have been very lucky - this is only Braedan's 2nd cold and the 4th time he has been sick in his life. He seems to have a pretty strong immune system.

He's napping now. I think we'll spend the day watching movies and reading books. It's yucky and rainy out anyway.

Sadly, we have to miss my favorite Cave Junction event of the year - the Pet Parade. When Jobe was 6, Bosco and Sophi won the cutest couple award. Oh well.

Hopefully the echinacea, vitamin c and naynay will chase this cold away quickly!

Alyson

One week ago today, my sister Kate brought her beautiful baby into the world. Alyson Jacquelyn Barry was born on Friday, April 24th, 2009.

Isn't she gorgeous?? You can just see the love and light in her eyes. Look at those adorable cheeks and perfect little mouth. I can't wait to hold her! Good job, KK!

We are so happy you are here, Alyson. We've waited for you for so long! We can't wait to watch you learn and grow. We are excited to get to know the very special person that you are.

Thank you, Kate and Brian, for bringing a new baby into the family to love. You two are sweet, wonderful parents and I'm so happy for you.

What a miracle - a new baby. It's an amazing, everyday miracle.

I can't wait to meet you and kiss those chubby little cheeks.
