Ear infections - AGAIN

On Monday we had a tea party (more on that later). My mother-in-law kindly stayed with the twins so my attention could be on Jadyn. She let me know that Jemma was feeling rather feverish and when I got home I discovered that Jemma was running a fever. She also hadn't had a wet diaper and wasn't eating 100%.

So off to the doctor we went.
I decided to take Jaycie as well since she had just finished another round of antibiotic - I wanted to make sure her ears were clear.

Jemma wasn't feeling the greatest when we got there, so Jaycie went first. Jaycie seemed fine but when the doc looked in her ears she had an ear infection in BOTH.
Good grief.
Jemma had an ear infection just in 1 ear.
Both girls are on antibiotics. This time it's a kind that gives them diarrhea and makes it red. Super!
Jemma has had a rough go. She only wants to be held - which is great except for when there are 2 other girls to take care of! Anyhoo, I'm very much looking forward to getting over the ear stuff. It's making long days for Mommy!

Jadyn and Jemma. Jadyn has been pretty worried about her sissy!

Jemma starting to look better.

Jemma with a new do. :) 

We are hanging in there! 

Rainy Day

This has been our first week of Summer vacation. It has been very very rainy. So rainy that we've been dealing with flooding in the area. Jadyn was especially bummed that it was rainy again so I opened the door and sent her outside. :)
She was a bit skeptical at first but was quickly prancing in rain. If Jaycie hadn't decided to skip her nap I would have joined her! I didn't think getting Jaycie out in it was the best idea since she's battling another ear infection (and NO. TUBES are not an option).

Oh and yes, she is in her jammies.
I love this girl. :)

a photo shoot

If you follow me on facebook you've seen most of these pictures. If you don't follow then you haven't seen them all. :)
We missed out on 1 year pictures with the twins. It's okay - we missed out on newborn pictures too. I have plenty of pictures around so I'm sure we have plenty of documentation of their sweet little lives. I was bummed though so on a nice evening, about a  month late, we took the girls outside and I snapped some pictures. (194 to be exact). I am by no means a professional, but I think I did a decent job this time. Plus I've caught on that if I take enough pictures a couple are bound to turn out!

It also helped that I have beautiful subjects to work with :)
