The flu is here. Gates had a seasonal flu shot. She did not have the H1N1 flu shot. I feel like that is the strand visiting our house. I feel terrible for not being more proactive and finding the H1N1 shot. I urge you mothers to go and find it. Get them both. It is so pitiful to see your little baby so sick. Trust me on this, too, you do not want your baby to have to get a chest x-ray. Getting shots does not hold a candle to this business! It was terrible for everyone involved. Gates is feeling so much better today, and the motrin is keeping her fever down. Please keep a speedy recovery and as my MIL put it a "strong resistance" for Brandon, Grandear, and me in your prayers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Isn't she the picture of peace? This is the real Carol. ;)

Cute (busy) dancing turkey.

We just could not get the self-timer right!

FUN TIMES

Our friend Tara came to visit from DC. Gates loved her!

At Jacob's birthday party. Gates was pretty good at the rings. We might have a super tall gymnast on our hands! ;)

Callie, Gates, and Keelan were loving the trampoline with Brandon!

What's better than a cupcake? AN ELMO CUPCAKE

We got them all seated at the same time on this little ledge, with two smiling! Pretty big accomplishment if I do say so...

BIG FAT PIG

Bathtime!

Dancing Queen

This kid LOVES to dance! This was right after bathtime, and she (as you can see) really likes this song...
