2 months old and 2 years old

Hard to believe but Jacob officially turned 2 on May 12 and Lucas turned 2 months on May 7!  Where has the time gone?  Time flies when you are having fun!  Lucas had his 2 month well child and weighed 10 lbs 13 oz, and at this time he was switched to Bactrim.  He will be on this till he is 1 year old (or so I suspect).  He goes for his ultrasound of his kidney June 14 so we pray that his body keeps healing itself. 

Jacob had his 2 year well child today and all checked out well with him too.  He weighed 28 lbs and is in the 50% for his height, weight, and head circumference.  He had tubes put in back in January and on May 1st ended up getting an ear infection.  Then last Friday he broke out in hives.  This was a new experience in our household.  So the Dr put him on prednisone as needed.  I am so ready to have all my kids off of medicine!!  As of today (Tuesday the 17th) his skin looks the best it has looked.  Our PA suggested putting him on Claritin or Zyrtec as he most likely has allergies.  Since I have allergies, this doesn't surprise me in the least. 

Andrew and Jacob also were checked for any kidney function issue.  They both had their blood pressure checked, blood draw, and urine sample.  Both boys did great and both were very proud to tell daddy they peed in a cup!  Everything checked out fine with their urine and blood samples so Thursday they will both get ultrasounds done of their kidneys.  Here's to hoping all continues to check out fine with them in that department. 

After the Dr. we stopped at a park and played and then enjoyed McDonald's for lunch.  They have been great boys and I am so enjoying being home with them.

Its official, I am a terrible blogger.  I just have the hardest time trying to keep up.  I might take my friend Lisa's approach a do a blog of all pictures.  The past few weeks have been crazy busy.  Between Easter, Jacob's early 2nd bday party, Lucas' baptism, Lucas turning 2 months old, Pella Tulip Festival, Jacob's real birthday May 12, Andrew's last day of pre school May 13, I just can't keep up!  So here are some pictures of majority of the events listed above!!  I am hoping now that I downloaded Firefox, my laptop will cooperate better than IE.  Now that I have uploaded the pictures there is no organization so I apologize for that.  I consider myself techy (a Gene Larson word) but this website's way of posting pictures is not easy to move around.  So maybe one of my blogging friends can give me a tip!

this weekend

We had a busy weekend in which we celebrated Jacob's second birthday (a few weeks early) and Lucas' baptism.  It was a crazy busy weekend, but we really had a nice time.  It was great to see all of John's family and my parents and aunt Nancy and uncle John.  I will try to post some pictures soon.
