last week in pictures

Nothing too exciting happened last week, but I thought I'd share some of the photos that I took.  First up, Kella's crazy hair.  This is an all-natural "up do". 

 Then, poor Marcus was sick all last week with some kind of stomach bug.  He felt miserable the first 3 days and then was just really tired.  The nurse in me thought he need an IV and some fluid for his mild dehydration, but the doctor convinced Marcus to drink lots of fluids.  He was finally getting back to his old self on Sunday and went to school today.  Can't wait to see how much make-up work he has to do.  We did have him read while he was home and he finished 2 Magic Tree House books-his favorite books right now.  So far, no one else has gotten sick (fingers crossed). 

 Liam, doing some of his favorite things-singing and dancing.  He was twirling around on the patio singing "God is so good", wearing his very favorite VBS tshirt and a lanyard with ducks on it that he hijacked from Cale.
 Ewan, with 2 of his best little friends.  They play together as much as they can.  I think this picture is from Friday night-they played outside until it was dark.  It stinks to think that outdoor playtime is winding down with the start of earlier nighttimes and cooler weather.
After 4 years, we have finally started to hang pictures on our wall in the family room area.  Here's the first one-a replica of a bicycling poster, clearly from 1947.  It takes so long for me to decide what I like-hence 4 years of naked walls.  The upside is that when we repainted, we didn't have to take any pictures down or cover any nail holes :-).

Ewan had his 5 year check-up this week.  He's lookin good and the doctor was excited to see him.  Ewan even showed her a cartwheel.  I'm sure she was impressed.  His growth is in the 75-80th percentiles for height and weight-44 inches and 45 pounds.  He's holding pace with hie brothers who were 45 in/50 lbs (Cale) and 48 in/63 lbs (Marcus) at this age.

We did other stuff too-karate, gymnastics, library, playing, preschool-normal weekly things for our family.

That's it.  Just a normal week for us.
