Dane is slowly getting better and Ellie is as busy as ever. Yesterday I had to run to the post office so I had her run upstairs and get dressed. This is how she came downstairs. I'm always running around trying to get stuff done I forget to take the time to enjoy my kids! They both have so much personality. Ellie never wears clothes. She is always wearing a "dance suit". She changes them periodically throughout the day. Dane can't get enough of Ellie even though she isn't very nice to him sometimes. His favorite thing is to watch her jump on the bed. He just cracks up! We've started some solid foods and he likes bananas and pears so far. I've started teaching Ellie the letters of the alphabet and her favorite letter is B. She loves it and points it out on signs as we drive down the road. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and watch them be kids.

Poor Dane! He has been sick for about a month now, but Tuesday things got bad so I took him to the ER. He had a fever of 103.5 and was breathing really heavily and fast. After a nose swab and a chest x-ray, the doctor came to the conclusion that he was sick but didn't have RSV or pneumonia. He kind of told me to go home and see if it gets worse. Luckily he was the only one in the ER who thought that way, because the PA's and nurses got another doctor to come down and look at Dane. He was admitted at about midnight with bronchiolitis. Basically, he was so congested that he wasn't getting enough oxygen. He also had double ear infections. We spent two nights there until he was able to breathe better on his own and got home yesterday morning. He's still pretty sick and wheezes and gurgles when he breathes but at least we are home.

Poor Dane. Day one of the awful hospital stay.


Ellie just before dance class


Ellie leaving dance class. I usually have to go in and drag her out of there because she doesn't want to leave. That is her teacher "miss china" in the background.
