Snow

I also wanted to show pics of how beautiful it was outside this morning. Too bad the boys were sick and we couldn't go out and enjoy it building a snowman. Oh well--there will be plenty more in the future.

Talking

This afternoon after we all had a great nap ( a couple of hours for the three of us) Ryan sat down to watch something on cartoon network. Alex was all about it talking non-stop. Too cute not to post. Plus he's had a couple of bottle of formula (small ones of course) and has kept them down. Although now Ryan woke up complaining of a tummy ache, but I think it might have something to do with the pizza I ordered from Dominos for lunch. It wasn't long after I ate it that my belly didn't feel too good either. That's the last thing he needs now.

sick boys

If it's not bad enough that one gets sick, baby Alex got a GI bug. I knew last Friday when I picked him up it was mentioned that some of the babies were sick. I assumed since we made it through the weekend we were okay. NOT SO MUCH!!! Alex started throwing up Monday night and had diarrhea as well. Needless to say I've washed my hands hundreds of times and used germx until my hands are almost raw.

This morning (Wednesday) both boys appear to be feeling better. Ryan is playing and Alex is taking plenty of pedialyte and keeping it down. Thank heavens for my friend Michelle. She was getting out to the grocery this morning and picked up a few things for me so I wouldn't have to get the boys out in the cold and snow. What a blessing.

Anyway--we're still contemplating Memphis. I'm going to see hoe the next 24 go to decide. Keep us in your prayers

The flu

It has reached our household. The Flu. Unfortunately I blew it off for the past few days when Ryan would cough a little and say, "I don't feel so well" He would smile and go on about his merry way. Well, I guess I should've listened a little more closely. I just thought he wanted attention since I'm with Alex so much. Well around midnight Sunday night (I had been asleep for about 1 1/2 hours--he rolled over and touched my face--ON FIRE!!!. I felt so badly for him--101.6. By morning he was crying because his head hurt so badly and he didn't want to walk or move. "Mommy carry me" Now my back is tight from carrying around this 41 lb big boy, but it won't last forever. I just hope he gets better soon enough for us to travel to Memphis for Jon and Ashley's wedding. I guess we'll take in one day at a time.

A very uncommon moment--Ryan posed for a picture. Take note of what the shirt says!! LOL!!!!

cutie patootie baby

Sunday afternoons

Weekends are always interesting at the Phillips household. Sunday afternoons are usually the most fun after Church, lunch, and usually a nap. Yesterday was no exception. Ryan had taken a three hour nap (yes that's 3 hours!!) and was full of energy. As busy as he is it's always entertaining. He wanted to take pictures and then he didn't. Alex didn't really care one way or the other, but was happy to smile nonetheless.
