Week 1

We started off the year with Alexis testing positive for Flu-Type A. Poor girl was so sick, I've never seen her so sick. It was heartbreaking. After 6 days of the flu and not feeling any better we took her back in to the doctor. Luckily she didn't have the flu anymore, but she did have double ear-infection, double pink-eye and CROUP! She was miserable. We pumped her full of meds and she is beginning to feel better.

Unfortunately the flu hit my husband too. Pax and I were getting stir crazy and needed to get out of our germ infested house. So we had a mother-son date day and went to Jurassic Quest! It was in town for just the weekend so it was the perfect time. Guys… this dinosaur exhibit is SPECTACULAR! Seriously… I could write a novel about how fun this was. But I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

We finally had a small breakthrough with Alexis and she got out of bed for the first time and wanted to play! She finally looked like she had some life in her again. We played playdough at the table all afternoon. It was fun.

Alexis has her Winter Dance Recital this weekend and had the rehearsal this week. Her dance is to the Polar Express and it is super adorable. They don't allow cameras at the actual recital so they ask parents to take all their pictures during the rehearsal. She was cute, even though she is still not feeling 100%.
