Picnic Run

Our first picnic of the year! We realized that although Point Defiance Park is lovely, we need to find one with a playground next time! Daddy spent most of the time chasing Charlotte rather than enjoying our cheese and fruit! Daddy, Charlotte, and Lola at least got some exercise!

Charlotte's 2nd Birthday Party!

2 Years Ago Today!

Like everyone says... where does the time go?

What the Dr. ordered

Charlotte comforts mommy in bed! What a sweet girl!

Daddy Duty

Matt took this picture to document that YES, he can do a ponytail!

Daddy has been on duty a lot recently as I recover from all this mess. He is doing a good job! I think he has amazed himslef at how much he can do. He was a Daddy whirlwind last weekend (the weekend before Easter), doing dishes, cleaning up, taking care of Charlotte, mowing he lawn, working on home improvement projects... whew! BUSY!

We "bit the bullet" and agreed to put me back on Remicaid (regardless of the financial burden) last week. Then immediately, just as I was feeling better from the crohns and anklosing spondylitis, I got a terrible bug! Ya know... the one with the cough, congestion, fever, etc... Yuck. I am in bed today, but thats it- I am sick of being in bed, so tomorrow I better be feeling good- cause I got stuff to do!

SO much for Spring Break...

No, I am not referring to the crummy weather... I mean that is to be expected around here this time of year! It was exciting to have a Spring Break (like the good ol' days of being a student) and instead of enjoying it or getting to finish projects at the house, we spent half of it in the hospital. BUMMER. It didn't help that both of my doctors were out of town on Monday (one still in Disneyland until next Monday) and so I could get no help! It is funny how even a hospital like TG doesn't know how to take care of some one with chronic illnesses like mine. Pretty Ridiculous, but I won't bore you with the details. Lets just say I had a few fights before getting my orders fixed to include necessities such as IV FLUIDS!!! Anyway, poor Matt was so stressed out that he broke out in the worst case of hives I have EVER SEEN! If i had had my camera I would've taken a picture... he was just one big hive. SO now we are both on Prednisone (steriod) and recovering. We have had lots of help for Charlotte from family! She had a mini vacation in Vancouver with Grammy & Grampy Kohler and now we are lucky enough to have Grandma Kohler here visiting during her spring break from school! We feel very luck to have the family and church family that we have for love, care, and support! Thank you all!
