The Grimm's Fairy Tales: May 2013

Sicky Pooh!

Of course, the week I go back to work, I catch something and end up sick. I hate being sick, but when you're a working mom, you have to just suck it up and move on with life. That is, until your kids get sick.

Molly doesn't usually get sick, which I attribute to her getting so sick so early in life, but when she does get sick it is the most pathetic thing ever.

She had a fever of almost 102, and she was just miserable. You could tell she wasn't feeling well because she cuddled up right next to TR for the entire night. She didn't want to read books, she didn't want to watch Wreck-It Ralph, she just wanted to be cuddled with Daddy.

FB Post May 29: My poor Molly hasn't been this miserable sick since she was just a few weeks old. :( We've been up watching Baby Einsteins since 4, next to an open window to try and get her fever down. My poor girl.

Finally back asleep around 8:30 am.

FB Post May 29: One of the nice things about Molly getting so sick so early in life is that she has a great immune system! Her fever, that just started last night around 6 broke at about 10 this morning and besides being a little grumpy she's almost back to her old self!

I am so grateful for my healthy kids!

Malcolm's Blessing

It's kind of odd to bless Malcolm in the middle of the month (you can find out more about baby blessings in the LDS church here), but since cousin Margreth was coming from Sweden, and wouldn't be here for the following fast Sunday, we decided to bless him before I went back to work.

Molly is ready for church! (And doesn't stop moving. Excuse the blur)

The day was beautiful in the morning. The sun was shining, and since we have 11:00 church we got to take the morning a little easy. TR did a beautiful job with the blessing, and our little boy was promised some great things.

I have THE CUTEST Family.

As with all the grandkids, and a lot of "adopted grandkids" Grammy made Malcolm's blessing suit. It was DARLING! It had a little bowtie and everything.

Baby Vida!

Our best friends Sam and Andrea had their baby on May 16th! Vida Marie weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces, and was 19 inches long. She has the cutest little button nose, and we SO love her!
