April Showers bring TORNADOS

The start of April has been a busy one. Last Tuesday while at work a spring time storm turned into sever weather. The school was evacuated into the hallway and warned of the sever weather headed our way. A tornado had already spotted in a near by town and should it continue on its path we had a good chance of being hit. Brandon was at home and was my eyes and ears messaging me with the latest updates of tornados that were confirmed to have touched down and where they were. I am thankful that the boys and I were never in the direct path of any of those that touched down that day. Sadly a neighboring town wasn't as luck as a EF-3 tornado ripped through.

I have gotten seriously behind. So, rather than trying to make a post for those that I've missed I figured I'd give you a brief run down of what we've been doing.

Since my last blog, Parker's birthday, we kicked off a day of love with the boys. They got some sweet treats and we had a date night together as a family.

At Ryder's 2 1/2 yr check up we got an unexpected diagnosis of Mono. His doctor and I were both shocked! We were there after all for a well child check up but while doing his exam he noticed his spleen was unusually large. Long story short a blood test showed positive for Mono. He had no symptoms other than the enlarged spleen. We also discussed the possibility of visiting a cardiologist to check on his heart murmur. Its something he has always had and his pediatrician doesn't thinks a cause for concern. So,for now we are keeping an eye on it.

Carter started baseball. He is on the Cubs. This picture was taken at their first game. It was actually a preseason tournament and they didn't have their uniforms in yet. He still looks cute if you ask me. 

He hasn't played baseball before but he seems to have really taken to it. Which is good because it seems to consume our weekly schedule with games and practice. 

Spring break has come and gone. Brandon was out of town that weeks which left the boys and I to entertain ourselves. Sadly we weren't that entertaining. We got doctor appointments taken care of and played around the house. Boring I know, but with B gone that week (and he was gone the week before) I was pooped and laying low was just fine with me. 

March has come and gone. Brandon's crazy travel schedule has come to an end. And before we know it summer is going to be here.
