You have waited long enough...

Here it is--I know it has been a long time coming--sorry :(  I have been super sick for over a week now, I cannot remember the last time I was this sick!  My mom says there was a time in elementary school that I was so sick I couldn't even watch TV--so I guess that was the last time.  I am finally on antibiotics and starting to feel better, but not back to myself yet...anyway you are here to read about the boys--not me ;)

Liam is doing great, if only he would sleep a little better a night...all I am asking for is a little consistency :)  He usually wakes up around 2-3 to eat then sleep until 8 or 9, but of course he has not done that while I have been sick.  I am very happy he did not catch this awful bug I have, so I better just count my blessings!  On a fun note we started cereal this past weekend.  Liam will be 6 months old on the 26th--I know can you believe it???  So I know people usually start cereal sooner, but we did not start Ali until she was over 5 months either...anyway he LOVES it!!  He eats lunch and dinner, every last bit :)  We plan on starting some veggies next week, I hope to make his baby food again, like I did for Ali.  I found it easy, inexpensive and I knew exactly what was in it.  Liam is officially rolling over both directions, but he doesn't do it too much, guess he doesn't feel the need to.  He is enjoying his high chair and loves his exersaucer--it is a great way to watch his big sister :)

 open wide!

  yummy!!

I can do it myself, Mama ;)

Bill has been such a champ lately taking care of the kids and taking great care of me!  He has been so helpful and willing to play with the kids and let me rest and then make me soup and tea.  I would not have been able to get through this without him!  He has woken up in the middle of the night to care of Liam and me (ie take me to the ER), then goes to work all day--except for the 2 days he had to take off to watch the kids/me.  He is also sporting a beard--which I have to say has grown on me and Ali and Liam love it...Liam especially loves grabbing it ;)

Dad has started his third treatment, he is currently mid cycle and is feeling pretty worn out.  He had a follow up MRI of his neck and brain, which showed increase metastasis on his brain.  They spoke with the radiologist and he gave them the options to do nothing, whole brain radiation or possibly a study with spot radiation.  They decided to enrole in the study which take 2 weeks and does spot radiation on the lesions.  Since I have not been able to talk well with this sickness, I have not had a chance to talk to them directly, so I don't know too many details.  They did have a very nice visit with Becky, Alex and the kids yesterday and Ali got to see them at church Sunday :)

Thank you for being so patient, hopefully I will continue to recover so I can update more frequently :o)
