Temple Trip to Boston

Yesterday we took a temple trip up to Boston. This is the second time we have done this. We get a 2 bedroom suit and stay the night. Reece and I take turns going to the temple. It was so great this time! The spirit was so strong. There were only 2 men and 4 women so it felt like I was the only one there at times. At one point I was the only one in the celestrial room. It was so peaceful! I love going to the temple!

The kids love our temple trips because they get to stay overnight in a hotel. Since we don't have TV they think it is a real treat to get to watch as much as they want. And of course sometimes they get to go swimming.

This time we decided to go to the Childrens Museum downtown. It was a lot of fun. Thats what most of my pictures are of. Enjoy!

This guy likes his burgers well done!

Thanksgiving

Well we had a great first Thanksgiving in CT! We were invitied to join 3 other families! 8 adults and 13 kids! They had a blast and it was great to try a lot of different traditions. We missed family but it is nice to know that as part of the church it is always easy to find friends!

Swine Flu!!

Well our stair project got put on hold. Nathan came down with the Swine flu/pneumonia on Nov. 2nd and was in the hospital for a few days. It seems we have not found time to get back to it since. He was pretty sick and it as no fun seeing him the hospital like that. They had to transport him in an ambulance up to the childrens hospital in Providence RI. I followed behind in the van. He was so brave. Nothing seemed to phase him much. Maybe he was just to out of it to respond. One thing is for sure I never want to see a child of mine taken on a stretcher hooked up to everything, in an ambuklance again! At least it was not from an accident!

When he had to get his IV they put it in the crook of his elbow and I was explaining that it was in a different place than mine when I had Danielle. I said it isn't on the back of your hand it is on your arm and he was a little upset from having to get poked he said" Oh Just great!" He gave the nurses a good laugh! They thought he was amazing!

Well we suvived. Reece and I took turns sitting with Nate at the hospital and being home with the girls. Freida flew in to help us out and got there the day He was released from the hospital. It was a good thing. Because Nathan was still pretty sick and Dani had gotten shots and had a fever and wouldn't let me down. Two days latter I came down sick and couldn't take care of anyone. The week before all of this Reece had missed 4 days of work due to Bronchitis and Becca was on an inhaler for her chest! It was a lotof fun! Thanks to Freida we all made it through!

I am now wearing an event monitor for my heart because I am having palpitations, probably due to the emence amount of stress I have been under this year. They are trying to figure out what exactly it is. Other than that we are alive!
