Fun in the snow , Dylan , and sick kids!

Happy Valentines Day!!!We have had a house full of sick kids. It started with Danica when they got back from Florida over a month ago. Then Oliver got it a few weeks ago. I took Danica to the doc a couple weeks ago and they but her on amoxociline and it helped a lot. Oliver seems to be getting better on his own. But then Dylan got it last week. He got an awful cough with a congested nose. So I took him in Saturday morning. She said that it hadn't gone to his chest yet, so we are praying it stays that way. Last night was the first OK night in a few days. He's been waking up every two hours since he's been sick. But last night he had a 4 hr stretch which was nice. Anyways he his still such a good happy baby even though he's been sick. He smiles so much it just melts my heart. We had a nice night out last night. A movie with Dalene and Steve and then to their house for dinner and then to some other friends for a sweethearts party with lots of yummy deserts. And tonight My Valentine is taking me to the Cork and Cleaver. Our fav restaurant that we go to once a year, because it is wayyyyyy out of our price range, and Dan gets a gift certificate from a concrete company for Christmas. My other two valentines ( Oliver and Danica) got me chocolates and Gerber daisies, my favorite flower.
This up coming week is going to be a busy one as well. Danica turns 2!!!!! Wednesday hopefully Dan will take the day of and we are going to take the kids to have a fun day in fort Wayne. Then Saturday Dan's Grandpas birthday celebration. And then Sunday we are having a family dinner for Danica's birthday. So we have our work cut out for us. It should be lots of fun though.

Kessel Family update

Well we have been doing great here in Indiana. It has been a COLD winter so far, we're looking so forward to spring. The kids had a blast in Florida with their grandparents. Since then we've been taking it easy. Danica has been sick off and on again for a month now. I took her to the doc last week and she is on an antibiotic. She seems to be getting better. Oliver caught it last week as well, so we'll see if he starts to get better soon. Dylan is doing great. He is such a great baby. He smiles all day long, it is so cute. His sleeping is about the same, goes to bed around 7:30- 8:00pm and sleeps usually until 2 or 3 am. Then feeds and goes back down until 7. He has some bad nights but over all it's Way better then his siblings were at this age. He too went to the doctor for his 2 Mon check up. He is in the 30% for weight, 40% height, and 15% head. The doctor said he looks great.
Our days go by fast around here. It is so nice having a routine with my kids. They just always know what is next on the agenda. We don't venture out much anymore, because it's way too cold out. I'm looking forward to the warm weather for that reason , so we can get out more,and have some outside fun. Dylan's routine is wake up eat play sleep , all day long and it works great, thanks to my friend Ashley for suggesting it. It's what she has done with her two girls and has had success with it. Well that is all for now, it's time for some story time! Have a great day!
