before and after

Before

Before

After

Will came down with a common cold last week.  He had head congestion and a little cough.  A week into the cold he started to get a rash.  Within 24 hours the rash spread throughout his whole body.  It was scary how fast it spread.  The first time we took him to the Dr they thought he had hives.  When benadryl had no effect and the rash doubled we took him back in.  This time they saw that it wasn't hives.  His immune system was over reacting to the cold and caused the extreme rash.  They assured us that it wasn't fatal or contagious.  They prescribed him 5 days of a light steroid.  The after picture was taken about 12 hrs after we gave him the first dose.  Crazy how fast it came and went.

Grandpa time

Grandpa Darrel came back to town this weekend.  He is helping us get the old house ready to sell.  Will wants to help.  He is ready to work.

Doug, Louis and Albert have been meeting Will and I down at Crown Center a few times this week.  This week we went to the train restaurant, Fritz's.  Doug fashioned up a hands free bottle system for Will.

Louis enjoys 'designing'.  Here he is painting a wooden car kit.

Game Day

Most people keep their tvs in separate rooms.  Doug's theory is the more football, the better. If he had his way there would be 4 flat screens attached to that wall with four different games on.

let it snow, let it snow

Doug and Louis enjoyed the recent snow. They went sledding in our new backyard.

Will and I watched from the warm house.

dress like a pirate

Doug let me sleep in a few weeks ago.  I woke up to the boys making waffles in the kitchen and Will dressed up like a pirate.  I didn't know we had knee high baby socks.  He needs a big hoop earring and some chin hair to complete the look.
