One of those day........

Today is one of those days where you just want to crawl back under the cover and go back to sleep. Too bad I can not do that because no way the twins would let me :) bummer. It's been pouring all night and so far all morning. Oh the joys of living in Germany. Rain, Rain, Rain....I sure didn't miss that at all. I sure do prefer the amounts of snow Dubuque would get but rain....urgh hate it!

But like I always say ... I made this decision, now I gotta deal with it!

So, you know Connor got these BAD temper tantrum and I mean BAD. If he doesn't get his way ANYWHERE we go he gets these shaking attacks and if he's not in his stroller he'll drop to the ground and bang his head on the ground. I have no idea how to break this habit. But it sure is taking it's toll on me. I don't like to go anywhere with him. I can't go shopping. We can't even go to the gym without him throwing fits. It's embarrassing. I made the decision that if he acts out one more time at the gym, it will be his last time going for awhile. Maybe he'll understand somehow that what he's doing is not right. Any tips for me what I can do?!

Oh it's so frustrating.

It all doesn't help, that I am homesick to Dubuque. I wish I could get over that feeling...

Not a good start of the week for sure

Update on Mr. Drew

This is my bad but I never gave an update on my godchild / nephew Drew and his cancer diagnosis. Well, he's doing good :) So far every test they did on him CT/Bone Scans, Bone Marrow testing came back a BIG FAT NEGATIVE :)))) The only results they are waiting for is the BIG one "What stage cancer is it?!". My SIL and BIL are suppose to get those results any day now - hopefully today :) So I bet ya he's in for another good result :) The best result possible would mean he only will have to go back for 3 months check ups to see if the tumor is going away on it's own. Intermediate Risk would mean Chemo and High Risk = a Bone Marrow Transplant. But everyone incl. doctors are talking that he's at low risk! So please continue praying for my little munchkin! He's such a trooper for doing sooooo good and recovering from major surgery so well! <3


Drew his weekend home before his surgery on monday



After surgery and after being back home :)

The day we went home from the hospital, Connors binkie was ginormous and Calebs was gross I don't know why they didn't give him a 'normal' binkie




In way too big clothes. I think we only had a handfull of preemie clothes for Connor :)


Caleb snoozing on my mom's chest. To this day he looks the same way sleeping :)
