Quick Update

We are figuring out our new "normal" - aka - life with two kids....um it's hectic and I swear laundry and dishes multiply every time I blink!

The video monitor is great! It's a little creepy at night if Lucy's eyes are open but I was able to witness a large spit up in the middle of the night. Awesome.

Lucy has her official first cold - right now it's just a stuffy nose and a slight cough every once in awhile. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't turn into something more!

We did go to a GE function this past weekend at the farm park but I didn't take a single picture. The girls were even dressed up and everything. It was a little crowded and hard to manage. As well as Lucy had a reaction to something - could have been the hay, could have been the heat of a crowded room - who knows - but by the time we left there to go to a friends place - she was all red and patchy an her eyes were super red as well. But only the skin that was exposed. Nothing under her clothes...By the time we got home - she was normal again and hasn't reacted to anything since.

Her skin is super sensitive anyways - like she is allergic to tape and bandaids. We have been trying to find a soap and lotion that didn't irritate her skin or dry it out completely. We switched to Cetephil on Sunday and it has been going great. Their super cream seems to work well too. This poor kid - anything she could have wrong she does...her one eye lid got really irritated this weekend - so this week has been trying to get it back to normal. It does look better each day!

Today is picture day at school - Heidi was all excited and wanted Kendall hair aka pig tails :) she was practicing her "model" face in the picture. It will be interesting to see Lucy's pictures with her puffy red eye and a couple of battle wounds from a random sharp fingernail and I still can't seem to locate.

I hope to take pictures this weekend and do a proper blog but who knows!!!
