Sick at Home and Now One on Board!!

The kids have been sick with low grade fevers all week. Timmy had diarrhea at the beginning of the week and has been over it since Tues. Joya has had a nasty cough since last Friday. She isn't running a fever today but is still whinny, so were still at home! I had to take Timmy into the Dr. this morning because last night he struggled to breathe while laying down and since it's Friday I just took him in. The Dr. gave him some more decadron, just like a month ago when he had croup and couldn't breathe then either! So Joya missed her ballet lesson, Timmy missed one swim lesson and went to the other one. Him and Tim have fun with that, it's a special time with just the two of them, and Timmy needs the practice. He has lost all confidence in the pool from this summer, and won't even put his face in the water anymore, or jump off the edge into the pool. But him and Tim are working on it and it is a fun time for just the two of them. Timmy always says "Daddy Timmy smim lessons?"

On another note, last night Joya asked Jesus into her heart! The subject was brought up as fast as it was dropped, but we're counting it and will help her develop a relationship from here. So last night we were reading her Princess Bible and she said "Dad everyone has God in their hearts." Tim said no that's not true, you have to ask Jesus into your heart to have him there. Then Tim helped her pray to ask Jesus into her heart. She was excited and then ran off. That was the end of that! It made me tear up last night, I am not sure what her motivation was, but we'll take it! It also made me tear up because just a few weeks ago she was being disrespectful during prayer, we had to work with her on that, and what it meant to be respectful! We determined she was just board during our prayer, and had her start saying her own prayer and she is good now!

The New Baby and Christmas

Here are pictures from my ultrasound that all the kids came to with us, including cousin Vi. They were interested for all of 10 seconds and then wanted a snack! Joya was very concerned with the goo they put on my stomach, after she felt it she was done with the whole thing and could have left right then and there!

Also some pictures of Christmas, Timmy was extremely sick with croup and Joya was hilarious to watch open her gifts! She would open something and then scream, "that's what I always wanted," or "I knew it, I knew I would get this." She was so funny!

We did Christmas Eve with the Euhus side and Christmas Day with my family, except we did stockings at home!

We also got to meet Uncle Jeff's Girlfriend Miss Mollie or as Timmy said "Mitt Mollie."

After Christmas there has been a lot of playing with Mickey and Minnie, and Daddy does a great Mickey Mouse voice that Joya loves!

Also after Christmas when Timmy was feeling better, he decided he wanted to poopoo int he potty! That was exciting but he has no feeling of pee, so we are half doing potty training, and more because I don't want to sit of the floor all day and wash peepeed underpants! Maybe we will hit it hard later when I feel more up to it...it would be nice to only have one in diapers at a time, but at the same time I don't want to do more laundry than I have to just because he wants to copy mommy and big sister sit on the potty for their business!

Here is a video of Timmy talking to the baby. Both him and Joya like to push on my belly and talk to the baby and then wait to see if it responds with some movement, it usually does which is fun for them!
