Weekend plans went down the drain

On friday like all weekends, our weekend was jammed with parties, outtings and halloween celebrations. But on Friday evening, our plans suddenly changed - first Lauren, then Chris and finally Joseph all had come down with the stomach bug. Yes, I now know it is going around. Fortunately for Annalise and I, we did not get it. We spent the weekend playing and cleaning out the house. It was kind of nice to have a weekend at home to piddle with the small stuff. On Sunday, since all were feeling better - the girls and I ventured to Boo at the Zoo for a little practice run on the trick or treating. We had a good time and got a bag full of candy and of course, mommy got sucked into buying 2 halloween ghost for the "cheetah cause".

Here are a couple of pictures.

The girls were not to sure if she was real or not.

Oh - How Time Flies....

Time has just flown by this past month...

Annalise, Lauren and Joseph

Joseph is now 4 months old. He is growing so quickly. At his 4 month check-up, he weighed 13 lbs 11 oz. He is cooing and telling stories to anybody and everybody who looks at him. He is such a happy baby. He is just recovering from a nasal infection that has affected his eating significantly for the past month. He is doing much better now. Keep your fingers crossed that they are wrong and it is not allergy related.

Joseph at 3 Months.Lauren and Annalise are doing great in school. They both have wonderful teachers who keep them busy ~ growing and learning. They also both choose to be Little CPS cheerleaders this year. Their schedules were thrown off from the hurricanes, but I will post a picture of them cheering.

Mom is doing great with chemo. She just began her third round last wednesday. Her tumor is getting smaller and her count is going down. Just continue to pray that it stays that way. As all of us know, at any time - the medicine can stop working for her.
