No more sick time

Peek-a-boo we see you!

So March seemed to fly by without even so much of a notice. We were busy trying to get well -- Jonah's ears dont' seem to want to cooperate with his teething :( We liked to visit the doctor quite often, min of once a week. They seem to enjoy our visits, go figure -- us not so much!! We celebrated Purim (jewish halloween) and had lots of fun watching Shayna participate in her school parade dressed as a cute little piggy!



We also had our first extended trip (more than one night) away from both kids at the same time!! Although it was hard to leave we knew they would be just fine. Poor Jonah was left sick and with a very very sore tushie!! Mimi came to play and took great care of them. We went Memphis for Mindy & Jordan's wedding and had a great time, missed the kids of course. I guess it was definitely easier because our kids are pretty independent and didn't seem to even notice we were gone :( But it was really nice to get away as grown-ups :) See us enjoying the best fried peanut butter and banana sandwhiches at Graceland!!


Its seems that in the midst of our travels we all caught some nasty bug -- which turned out to be a parasite of some sort -- it sucked. See poor Jonah's sad state :( Luckily the kids managed to to make it through -- it was definitely a tough 2 weeks. I'm glad it was me that ended up in the urgent care for IV's rather than the two of them and lucky daddy was well the whole time and helped to get us all better!!


For passover we got to fly down to Orlando to celebrate, we did miss Nana & Papa :( (and of course Lili, Matt and baby nelson to be:) Shayna and Jonah had a blast with their cousins -- it was so cute. We also got to spend some time at the beach which was really nice, with all of the cold yucky weather we've had here in CLT. Shayna loved the beach/ocean and would have stayed all day/night to play in the water and sand.

So now our travels have come to a halt and we're enjoying spending some time at home!! Bella and her parents have come to play. We had lots of fun hanging out at the park and enjoying their company. We've gone to birthday parties that were lots of fun. Jonah started swimming and appears that he doesn't hate it -- good start!! We're also getting ready for the warm weather to stick around and enjoy lots of times outdoors!!
