Sad, sick girls...

We have some sad, sick girls on our hands. We found out (through a trip to the ER!) that Ruby has a double ear infection with pretty swollen tonsils. This, I'm sure you can imagine, is not fun for an almost 3 year old. Lots of TV this past weekend, lots of snuggles (including getting coughed on and sneezed on... lovely), lots of books, lots of keeping Eleanor and Ruby separated, lots of crying, and lots of resting our bodies and fluids. It's been a LONG weekend to say the least.

Ruby slept through dinner last night (and tonight) and it was so surreal. It was the first time Josh and I had dinner at home without Ruby since she's been born! It felt like we were back to one kid where Josh and I could have a conversation and only have one other babe at the table.... and it was sad! Not sad that we got to talk, but the whole time we just kept saying "This is so weird. It just doesn't feel right..." and it's NOT right! Ruby is such a HUGE part of our family to have her down and out definitely takes its toll on all of us. Poor baby.

In other news, Ruby's a rockstar at swimming!

And Eleanor is growing up way too fast... she's sitting up, responding to her name, loving to gum anything she can get her hands on, making lots of sounds and noises, and moving around... man, time is flying with her.

We went to Portland for my brother's wedding... such a great time! More on that soon (I feel another blog post coming on... what?? 2 in a row!!)

Hoping these sweet girls get better soon.
