I got to start of Mother's Day having Breakfast with my mom. She came to spend the weekend with us after we had to call 911 for David Thursday evening. This I'm sure would put most mothers into a panic but after loosing Noah it especially through me for a loop so I asked my mom to come help me for the weekend and she did.
Thursday David's cough all of a sudden got much worse... the day before it was only a runny nose but what really started to worry me was when he said NO to cake... that never happens! But the reason we called 911 was because he was breathing more quickly then normal. I called the nurse line 811 and after asking me several questions about his breathing they recommended I call 911... not what I was expecting! So I called 911 and the fire truck responded within a few minutes followed by the ambulance not long after. They first wanted to use an oxygen mask which for me brought back Noah's last few hours... not sure if David remembers that or not but he didn't want to have anything to do with it. He was pretty lethargic when the ambulance arrived but once the Tylenol we had given him earlier kicked in he sat up and was a bit livelier. I rode with him to the hospital where he spent over 6 hours. They x-rayed his chest and gave him medicine which he had to breath in through a mask.
Mom and Dad had been over for dinner so they were able to watch Angeline for us. I came home about 4 hours before Jonathan and David. It was hard to leave David at the hospital but I had to get back to my baby girl and I knew Jonathan would take care of David. I was glad not to be there when they had to tie him down for x-rays and while they gave him medicine through a mask for 40 minutes because of coarse he really didn't like any of that but it was for his good.
He is doing much better now... still has a bit of a cough. The diagnosis is some form of Bronchitis or Childhood Asma.
This morning David coldn't quite remember the mommy song Daddy had been teaching him but he did pick my some dandy lions and say "happy birthday mommy."
This mothers day I am both especially thankful for my mothers and for the chance to be a mother. I love my kids, my boys and my Angeline.
Wednesday at moms and tots I took some pictures of Angeline with Benjamin. Angeline was due 10 days after Benjamin but as it turned out was born 4 days before him. One of the other moms asked if they were twins. We woke Luke up from a nap to join the happy couple but he wasn't very impressed.
Friday we had the Mitchell's over for dinner. We got to use the patio set my dad got us for a house warming gift for the first time. And as always the kids had fun playing together. Our digital camera is missing but Tony took these great pictures. Thanks Tony!
Here are a few of the many pictures taken at a baby shower for little James (in green and yellow). Luke (in blue) and Angeline (in pink, of coarse!) are exactly 4 weeks apart and James came shortly after Luke. Angie also has another little boyfriend, Benjamin... who was born less then a week after her and of coarse Edmund in California aswell. So we are very happy to have so many boyfriends for our baby girl but with all of these boys she is going to need a girlfriend to chat to about them! What's a girl to do?

Congratulations on your engagement Jared and Katherine!
Before & After
Before & After
Here are some pictures of our refinished hardwood floors. We went to the house and saw them for the first time today and were very pleased. David hasn't been to the house since before we took out the carpets and he thought the "new" floors were really nice. In the above picture you can see into Angeline's room where the hardwood is unfinished so you get a comparison. We will be putting laminate in the bedrooms this week. Our magnolia tree has opened up so I've posted a pictrute of that as well.
