Good Friday

Dearest Precious Gifts~

Well, Holy Week is coming to an end and today is Good Friday.  Today is the day that Jesus Christ died on the cross, but then He rose again in three days (Easter).  Most churches have services today, but we didn't go since we were seeing family.  We'll be at church on Easter sunday though.  :-)

Wow!  Grace, good job!  You slept 5 hours last night again!  Woo hoo!  Perhaps this is a new thing for you?  Now, if you could teach Joshua how to sleep that long.  He made it one and a half hours in his crib.  :-P

This morning we all played.  I walked Joshua all around the house and we looked out the window to see the neighbor's dog.  We didn't see him though because it was raining.  It was rainy and cool all day today.  

Before lunch, Gigi and Uncle James came over.  They helped feed you two and get you all ready to head to (Great) Uncle Laurence's house for an Easter egg hunt (obviously to be done indoors due to the weather).  We were suppose to be there at 1pm and we were right on track until we loaded everyone in the cars.  We put Joshua with Gigi and Uncle James rode with Grace and I.  As soon as we put Grace in the car .... she threw up!  And, it wasn't a little spit up either.  It was a lot!  All over herself and the carseat.  :-P  Yuck!  So, back in the house we went to clean and change Grace.  Gigi went on with Joshua.  We followed once we got Grace situated again.  ;-)  Grace, you never cried or fussed, so I wasn't sure why you threw up.  You just sat there before and after throwing up. 

We had fun at (Great) Uncle Laurence's house.  Joshua, you had fun playing with cousins Erik, Mia, and Charlie.  Grace, you slept for a little bit before getting hungry.  Once you got hungry, Gigi gave you a bottle (we're still trying to give you at least one a day to get you use to them).  You fussed and fussed, but you eventually drank it.  :-P  Once I knew you were ok with the bottle, I went upstairs and pumped to keep my milk supply.  Grace, this was your fourth bottle.  

Joshua, you had fun wit the egg hunt!  You showed everyone how you can walk all around, pick up the eggs, and put them in the basket!  You threw most of them, but you managed to get 20 in your basket!  And, Grace, you got one too!  Your (Great) Aunt Beth had eggs that looked like animals for you guys, so Grace's egg was a chicken.  ;-)

Joshua, you also took a late nap.  You fell asleep at 4pm on (Great) Aunt Marti as Mia read to you.  You didn't sleep long though, especially since we needed to head back home and pack you up.  

Gigi and Uncle James stayed with us for dinner.  Daddy got home a little late and then we picked up Chinese food.  Joshua, we ordered you some chicken nuggets and you ate two big pieces (daddy cut them into little pieces of course).  Good job!  Also, we've learned that you do not like the chocolate flavored boost drinks.  I thought every child would drink chocolate, but oh well!  You'll drink the vanilla though.

Grace, I don't know what happened to you today, but you threw up again this evening!  You were in your swing and just started to throw up like you did this morning.  Daddy gave you a quick sponge bath and changed you as I took apart the swing to wash it.  Gigi read to Joshua.  Again, you didn't fuss or cry, and you were fine afterward.  I took your temperature and you had no fever.  I hope you feel better tomorrow.  

This evening daddy read to us in bed again.  I nursed Grace next to Joshua.  Tomorrow is suppose to be nicer.  It's still going to be cloudy, but at least it's not suppose to rain like today.

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both!  :-)
