The Dentist

We went to the dentist last week. They even gave Jack a toothbrush to chew on!
Oscar getting x-rays. He was a VERY big boy.

The boys getting a cleaning. They both did great!

Typical Tuesday Morning

Here are the boys this morning. Ahhh. Brothers. Here is Jack. Yes he is standing. Not yet crawling... but likes to stand up to play his toy.

Oscar's 5th

My oldest turned 5 this week. FIVE. Hard to believe. We had a three day long celebration.

The first day, his actual b-day was a casual at home celebration w/ just the 5 of us.

The second day his preschool class sang to him.

The third day we took everyone to the Belmost historical firehouse. Super fun for little boys btw.

And after that our in town family came over for a party w/ cake!! Here is Jack loving his hat.And Oscar loving his presents! Even Calvin mustered after not being quite recovered from the flu.

Happy Birthday Oscar!!

In case you doubt there are miracles

As you all know our family has had the flu. It has hit us all differently.

Oscar had a high fever for 3 days & now is on medication for his 1st ear infection ever.

I had a high fever for 3 days & just today am starting to feel like myself again.

Jack has a medium fever & mild symptoms due to the fact that the peditrician put him on Tamiflu.

Calvin has been hit the hardest. Today is his 4th day in a row of fever. Last night he woke up at about 11pm with an odd wailing / cry that we hadn't heard before. He was at 104 and having a hard time breathing. He was weazing and raspy. Like he was breathing through water. We call the "on call" pediatrician. They listened to him breath over the phone and said we needed to take him to the ER right then. Darren packed him up & headed out. I called in some prayer. My mom. My mother in law. And all my family & friends who were logged onto Facebook at the time. By the time a doctor examined Calvin in the ER an hour & a half later a miracle had occured. He was at 100 and the doctor could find nothing wrong w/ his breathing or lungs at all. Seriously.

That is a miracle if I've ever seen one.

Oh - and if you don't believe in angels I have a story for you about that too.

The Flu hits the Lewis house

Oscar got it first. Then Jennifer. Then Calvin (pictured above w/ his 102 temp). As of today, Darren & Jack are showing the beginning signs too. We've cancelled everything this week. We are staying in. We are sick. At least we have each other.

Happy Halloween!!

For Halloween this year we had two firemen & one pumpking. Our day started off w/ a party!

Here is the group of them, w/o Jack Amelia enjoying our new playroom.

The rest of the super Bailly's

The Williams girls.

Then Darren took a nap. And we all went for a walk. (Darren was a corporate clown)

Then Marley came over for a visit.

Then Oscar & Calvin went trick or treating!
