Erica's first illness

So sorry I have not been up to date with things lately. My little munchkin has been sick, it started wed night - thursday. She was not eating and crying like something was hurting her though we could not figure it out. Fast forward a bit I had to pick her up from the sitter she started vomiting later that afternoon she got a fever- things got pretty scary then for a bit so we took her to the ER. Thank godness I did not wait for the MD appoitment she had a UTI. So she is now on antibiotics and tylenol for her fever though she has not since the weekend. She will have to have some tests run on her like an ultrasound of her kidneys as well as a test to make sure the the urine does not reflux back toward her kidneys. She will need to be sedated for this test so of course mommy and daddy are very worried. Hopefully all will be well! I am glad she is doing better though back to giving tons of smiles and to top of the bad weekend she rolled oer for the first time!! It was awesome we are so proud of her, she was a champ this weekend.

Learning to sit up

Mommy and Daddy work with me on doing tummy time and sitting up. She was sitting by daddy for a bit playing with her keys. My friend Mia let me borrow her BeBe Pod and I like it, it is soft and comfy!

Daddy's 30th birthday

On Oct 4 th was Daddy's 30th birthday! We went to dinner at Traverso's, sand to daddy and had goosey cake for dessert...Yum! Mom and me got daddy an IPOD for his birthday- he was so excited, now he can put many more songs than the one that he had.

On the weekend we had a little gathering of people to celebrate the big event. I got to see both Grandparents and some of my aunts and uncles too! At the end of the night when we were cleaning up mommy smashed the rest of the cake in Daddy's face! I missed it cause I was sleeping but mommy told me it was so funny!

Party at the Ranks

We went to tailgating party at Bryan and Vikki's house last weekend for the sucky bears game. We got to see everyone which was fun though. The best part though was that all 4 babies were together for the first time, not to be the last though! Erica is the oldest born on the fourth of July, then of course there is Mike and Laura's baby Dylan born 3 weeks later ----, Kevin and Kristins baby born on aug 31 John, and Amanda and Martin's baby born on Sept 19 Brianna.

Here are all 4 babies- can you beleive the difference in size between them all.

Grandpa's bday!

It was grandpa laskeys birthday and went over to help him celebrate. We visited with our cousins and Jesse was in town so she got to see Erica again, she has not seen her since she was born so that was nice. Here is a picture of all the cousins. I can't believe that we almost have everyone looking at the camera.

Homecoming 2007

I cannot believe Kathryn is a sophomore in high school! It is amazing to see her change and grow into this beautiful young woman that she is becoming. She wants to be a lawyer some day, I hope and pray that all her wishes come true.

Here are a few pictures of her from her homecoming dance this past weekend.

Kathryn and her date Adam, she went to woodridge school with him in K-1 before St. Scholastica. It was so cute how he asked her: she wanted to wear his jersey for one of the football games so he asked for her locker combo and said he would leave it in there in the morning, when she got to school and opened her locker there were flowers and streamers and a note asking to go to Homecoming!! Obviously she said yes.

Here is a shot of all the couples in their group, Yikes!
