Anna had nebulizer treatments multiple times every day this week

It has been nearly a year and a half since Anna has had a bad enough respiratory illness that she needed the nebulizer. But on Tuesday morning this week Anna had a bad night coughing badly and her breath was really ragged. So, rather than wait and see how she did we decided to get aggressive and start her treatments right away. This meant keeping Anna home from school for three days and giving her treatments several times a day. And by the weekend she was pretty much back to normal.

Reading on a Saturday morning

Over the past few years I have spent many hundreds of hours reading with both kids sitting on my lap. It is one of my favorite things to do, but they are both getting so big now I am not sure how much longer we will be doing that. So, I asked Marcy to take this photo above.

Jude after his first flag football game of the season (that’s the mouthguard, not blue teeth)

Today was the first day of the the flag football season for Jude. He enjoyed the game, particularly given the fact that he scored his team’s only touchdown of the game.
