Asia's fever went away Sunday, but she started coughing and sneezing like crazy. Then late last night her fever returned.
Joel took her in to see our doctor this morning, and it turns out she has a slight case of Pneumonia! (It certainly doesn't sound like a slight case though!) She also has a small ear infection in her right ear. We can't wait to get her started on antibiotics this afternoon. Hopefully she'll back to old self soon - I was not expecting such a big diagnosis!
Unfortunately Gage has started coughing too. We're just waiting to see if he gets a fever too, and if so, we'll be taking him in also. Please pray that he doesn't get sick too!

A Rough Week!
We discovered Wednesday afternoon, after having a daughter that was unusually tired, that she was in fact, sick. Besides being tired, she has acted normal. Today she started having a little diarrhea. Yuck. Good thing I trusted my instincts and swapped out the underwear from diapers! Luckily Joel has been a good guy and has done his fair share of diaper duty.
I've gotta admit...I like having Asia sleep this much. She slept for 14 hours last night - from 6pm until 9am (she was awake from 12-1am when I had to wake her up because she had a high fever again). Starting Wednesday, she's been taking daily naps. The first consistent nap taking since the summer! We've tried 4 or 5 times this afternoon to get her to lay down for a nap. Despite how tired she acted or looked, she kept fighting it. FINALLY after a HUGE meltdown (Joel is at the church right now. Of course.) I laid in bed with her for less than 5 minutes and she was out cold. So this is my few minutes of rest before Rockstar wakes up from his nap.
I hope she feels better soon. I don't like seeing her sick! We'll see how the rest of the day goes, I guess. I'm supposed to play bass guitar during special music tomorrow at church, and I'm really excited - I REALLY hope Asia is better by tomorrow morning so that I don't have to stay home!

Busy Life
Joel has started back to school. He is in his sixth week I think - hard to believe it's been that long already! He has been doing well. All online classes, and a couple are not worth the effort in credits. At least he's getting those out of the way.
Since Joel is back to school, I am spending more time taking care of the kids. Naturally. All I can say is, I've been exhausted lately. Seriously. I can hardly get out of bed in the morning. Asia is sleeping through the night again. We're praying that this will continue. I'm not sure why she started getting up during the night again, but it was aweful. Asia would wake Gage up, accidentally, so now Gage is also in the habit of getting up every night. With two kids, it's honestly easier to just feed him and go back to sleep, versus letting him cry it out and learn to go back to sleep on his own. I would get even less sleep doing the latter.
Gage is a handful. He's still quite attached to me. He loves toys, and he loves his big sis. He follows her into her room and plays very well with her. I'll find him by himself playing with his toys quite often. He gets into everything. Something about Asia's potty chair attracts him. We're having to keep the bathroom door closed again. We're sure he'll be walking soon.
Asia is a handful. She is such a sweetheart. She is such a brat. She's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She's all girl...princesses, princesses, princesses!! Pink, pink, pink! Make up, lipstick, dresses, hair, and all that jazz! She's turning three soon. I'm scared that three will be even worse than two. She already has quite an attitude - I'm not sure if I can handle it getting even worse!
Here's a couple pictures from a few weeks back. The pictures of Gage, are not bad/ill-timed pictures...those are his silly faces! He has quite the personality!

First Official Haircut
So....this blogging thing is getting really hard for me. I don't have much time to make updates. Facebook is a lot easier. And Blogger is a pain when I want to upload pictures, and format everything. I've probably complained about this before...
Anyway, I've trimmed Gage's hair a couple times before, but he's never gotten an official haircut. Until a couple weeks ago. He is a busy boy who doesn't like to sit still. Especially when he doesn't like something that's going on. Needless to say, the haircut didn't turn out perfect. And sadly, I don't think I have an after picture. I guess that's something I'll have to work on...he was too worked up to get a good picture of him afterward.
I guess it serves me right for cutting his hair without daddy there to help.
Bedhead....those poor chapped cheeks!!
Alright mom....I'm not liking this so far...
Pleeeeeaaaase be done; you're torturing me here!
