Off we go again.

Ok this is going to be brief. I just wanted to pop in and let you guys know we are heading out on vacation the day after tomorrow. We are going to Canada to fish. We do this every year and while I do not pride myself on being a fisherwoman (although it can be fun), I love the lake we go to and the water and it is always relaxing. This year will probably be a little less relaxing, but fun nonetheless. I just hope the 3 little ones don't wig out about being on the boat for 3 or 4 hours at a time. Oh well, we shall see......

Quick Kiddo Updates:

Anna

She got a good sized booboo on her chin Memorial Day. It was a gash that could have probably used a stitch or two. I have been putting a couple butterfly strips on it and a bandaid and it looking pretty good. It is all bruised and stuff, the poor thing, she hit it hard. She also got stung by a bee on her finger today, in our house of all places. She kept saying "ladybug give me booboo." This was very much the wrong thing to say because I had just convinced Madeline that ladybugs (i.e. any bug, fly or spider) we nice and liked Madeline.

Other than her booboo's, Anna is doing pretty well. Something odd about her though right now are these scars she has on her tongue. They are a new thing (last 6 months or so) and the run down the left side of her tongue. I am a little concerned about them, but I assume she must be knawing on her tongue or something while she sleeps. I don't know, very odd indeed and I will ask the dr about it the next time we see one.

Gideon

Well, his u/s came back good, so that is good news. We see the GI specialists June 9th and Ryan is going to go with me so that we can both ask everything we need to ask. I really want to get some answers. Gee seems to have gained some weight, but it is so hard to tell because I feel like he fluctuates so much. He poo is still aweful. Very frequent and about 1/3 of the time it is a blowout. Yuck! I told Ryan today that I am all pooped out! He gets to change all the poopie diapers on vacation. I need a break.

Besides the poo issue, Gee seems to be doing well. Kind of whiney, but maybe that is a personality trait. He is really a funny guy that like to be silly. He also like to annoy his sisters, usually by laying on them or pulling on some article of their clothing. I think he is a little "shy" (for lack a better words) also. If he realizes people are looking at him his face gets all expressionless and he looks like a deer in the headlights. It is really funny because he won't even crack a smile.

Ok, well I must go. I have loads of packing to do!
