Home in NEPA

It's been a while since I posted anything and yet nothing really exciting has happened since we got back. We made our annual visit to the ER a few days after we got back, Luke had pneumonia, tonsillitis and two ear infections and was totally lethargic for a few days with a horrible cough. Hannah got a little sick but nothing like her brother. She still has the cough but it is slowly going away.
Matthew's sister Shelly and her family came to visit for a week. That was great! We had a ton of fun with them. The kids and I took Maddy and Shelly to the zoo, Matthew took Shelly, Robert and Maddy to Cooperstown to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and we all went to the Hershey Chocolate Factory and Gettysburg. Luke decided to spike a 103 fever the morning we went to Gettysburg so he spent all his time watching movies in the car and sleeping. The next day the fever was gone. Matthew and Robert also spent a fair about of time playing Super Mario on the wii in the evenings. It was a very busy week!!

I finally saw an OB after a 3 month summer break. The baby is doing great and we have an ultrasound this coming Monday to check things out, which means more pictures!!

Matthew finally started school this past Tue and so far he's doing great, although there is a long way to go. :)

I have started my list for the organization that gives out Christmas presents (FOCA) and am trying to think of things we will need on our road trip home next spring. If anyone has any great ideas let me know because I can't think of anything besides McDonald's gift cards.

Gas cards!!

I thought of that but I don't know what kinds of gas stations there will be along the way and I don't want to get stuck with east coast gas cards.
