We are a BUSY family of 5.
There is Shawn, myself, Audrey, Colton and Chance.
We also have 4 dogs, a kitty, and a few fish to add to this family. Between the 5 of us....including the pets, there is NEVER a dull moment in the Bowen house! :)

GOODBYE PACI'S

Forgot to mention....one good thing that has come out of these blisters....
they don't want their paci's anymore. That was already a goal for us this summer. But now, they are turning down their paci's, throwing them out of their crib.
So I have put them away......Would rather deal with illness, and paci's all in one shot.....

SO GOODBYE pacis!!!!

Summertime Doesn't Feel Like SUMMER!!!

Well, my first week of summer, has been taking care of two sick little boys.
My summer started off nice. Saturday was our anniversary of 4 years. Went to eat at the place our wedding reception was, Casa Rio.
Picked up the boys Sunday from my parents, and they both had fevers.
Took them to the Dr. Monday, he gave us antibiotics.
Tuesday morning, Colton had a swollen tongue, and blisters on his tongue.
Keep in mind, he was up ALL NIGHT.
Long story short, after another Dr. visit, because of the NON-STOP screaming, the boys have fever blisters. Not sure where they got it from, but they have it.
It's not just ONE, its a MOUTH full. From what I hear, having one is painful. So I can understand, why the screaming is going on.
I feel like I have two newborns again!!!!!
It's hard, cause there isn't a whole lot I can do. Motrin and Dr. gave me some meds that will numb it temporarily.

So, in a nutshell, my summertime, hasn't felt felt "Summer" quite yet.

On a positive note....boys are growing/changing right and left. Talking a lot. Which I love. Colton seems to talk a bit more than Chance, but that's OK. Colton is better at mimicking us, than Chance is. Chance seems to point and make a sound.

I'm looking forward to our summer and being home. Not tutoring this summer. That's a first in 4-5 years! Have lots of scheduled play dates set.
We just have to get better!!!
