We're back!

The kids can FINALLY breath out of their noses and I no longer need to pack a wad of tissue every time we leave the house!  I think we were going on 5 or 6 weeks of stuffy noses, fevers, ear infections, nasty coughs, and throwing up.  In and out of the doctors we went.  I was getting about 2 hours of sleep every night, trying to tend to the kids not being able to breath or when they spiked fevers.  Christian struggled to survive at work on little sleep.  The sad thing is, their sicknesses lasted so long, it almost seemed like our new way of life.  It began to feel like we would never sleep again.  The kids would rotate waking up every 30 minutes, it was killing us! (me)  We were kind of sinking into a hole, we even called in a super nanny to evaluate our situation because we knew that this couldn't be normal.  I understand that this could happen a few nights, or even a week, but almost 2 months?  Anyways, my point is, we clawed our way out of that hole and our family is up and running again.  I just hope that we don't catch that nasty stomach flu that is going around right now!  

To celebrate our wellness, we headed out to the beach of course and enjoyed some vitamin D.    

Someone can't keep his eyes off the surf.

 Notice the leg crossing.  It's her new thing and it's so cute.

So squishy.

 Tristan went ahead and put the leash on by himself and pretended to surf on Dad's board.  Then he would jump off the board and yell, "wipe out!".  

I hope I don't sound like a whiner!  I know that a lot of families go thru this, I'm just learning how to deal with 2 kids now.  It's not easy!  It just feels so good to be back though.
