Bits-n-Pieces

This past Friday afternoon, Emily and Erin had a surprise birthday trip with Uncle Levi and Aunt Kayla. It was bugging Erin BADLY (as she does not like surprises!) but we managed to keep it all a surprise!! Their trip took them into Chicago, on a Metra ride, taxi ride, tour of the Hancock Observatory, lunch at a cheesecake place (yumm!) and then on to the American Girl Doll store there. Pictures to follow....... Needless to say, they were thrilled!!! Emily generally keeps her true feelings very well hid but, thankfully, Uncle Levi and Aunt Kayla realize that!! She does TRULY LOVE her present!! Erin, however, told me that Aunt Kayla started asking her if she was the "huggy monster" b/c she gave sooooo many hugs of thanks!! =-)

Today, I had to take Emily in to the doctor (after her trip to IL-sorry Uncle Levi) as she has been coughing terribly and it isn't easing up at all. Last night, I listened to her breathe and..... Turns out she is having asthma probs...... So now she is using the neb machine as well for a few days.

Trevor went back to the doc a 2nd time for a rash he has been fighting to find out he has molluscum. Has anyone else never heard of this?! So he is on meds to fight that infection that is a result of too much itching.

Spring break is over......Two of the three kids are sad to see it end. I took the kids out to the ski/snowboarding hill near us, we went shopping, and just enjoying our time together. Now on to another BUSY week before the girls' DI competition on Saturday and Trevor's VEX Robotics competition on Saturday!!!
