A Wonderful Week

This week has been great! We have all been healthy and happy. It has been especially nice to see Alden so happy. He has had fun playing with the boys that come over, and he is glad that I have finally stopped taking his temperature every few hours.
Also Michael's test schedule slowed down a little bit this week, and now he is done until after spring break! I am excited to have him home and he is excited for the break.
Another great thing is that we will be moving to a 2 bedroom apt next week. For probably obvious reasons I am really excited about this as well. I am even more excited after taking to Michael's mom who is in full swing thinking of decorating ideas for the kids room!
Another great thing is that we will have visitors this next week. Michael's parents will be coming to spend some of spring break with us.
It has been a great week and we have a very nice week of spring break ahead of us!
This is a picture from a couple weeks back when we had school canceled because of all of the snow.

I think the fire is almost out

This week has been a crazy week here at our home, for a number of reasons... this is why...
1. Michael has had a lot of tests, quizes, and practicals that he has needed to take and study for. (Because of the snow days last week a bunch were moved to this week.)
2. Well this is the main reason why it has been a crazy week, is that Alden has been sick. He got a fever on Tuesday night, but seemed to be okay Wednesday morning, so I went on with the day as normal.
He did good until about 11 when he started having a fever again, Anyways at 1 he went into a seizure that lasted for 1-2 min. I ended up calling 911 because towards the end of the seizure because his lips went blue and then his whole body. While I was talking on the phone with the parametics, he finally snapped out of it and started crying.
They insisted that he should be taken to the hospital because of his temperature and low vital signs, so we went to the hospital. Which ended up being really nice because the doctor on hand was very knowledgeable in fevral seizures. She said we should be okay as long as the seizure does not last 5 min or longer and gave us something just in case it ever does. (I sure I hope I never have to use those things.)
Alden had 2 more seizures later on that day, but was able to sleep well and his fever had gone down in the morning.
All day Thursday he had a fever most afternoon his fever ranged from 103-105 but at least there was no seizures.
Today he seems to be much better which is why I say the fire is almost out, also Michael finishes up his crazy week this week.
All of this sure has made me grateful for a little one that is healthy and happy most of the time, having sick kids is never fun, and can be scary. We are looking forward to a great week next week.

Mud

We have been playing at the playground a lot the last couple days because of the nice weather. Every time we go Alden gets so excited, the first time he ended up face planting it in the mud, he still wanted to play after, but I took it as a good excuse to head home. Every time Alden sees this picture now he always says "uh oh".

Wanting to Drive

Getting into the car never is Alden's favorite thing to do, until lately when he hurries into the car so he can climb his way to the front seat. He loves moving the steering wheel and pushing all of the buttons.
