April update

We had another fun filled month. Steve's step-brother Micky and his family came down to spend time with his father. We were able to spend some time with them on Thursday night, as well as, all day on Saturday. Micky and Erin have two boys and a girl. They are all a little older than Sophia but they all got along beautifully. On Saturday we went to the train museum and then out to Little Italy for a wonderful Italian dinner. We ended the day with an Easter egg hunt. Each child was assigned an egg color to look for so even Katie was able to play with it still being fair. The older children helped Julia and Sophia find their eggs. It was so nice to see everyone working together without fighting over who should get the egg.

Sophia ran a high fever again. This month was as bad or maybe worse than two months ago. We had a hard time getting the fever to go down at all. Once again, Sophia did not want to eat or drink. She laid around and was miserable. The doctor checked for the flu and strep test. Thank goodness the news about the swine flu had not hit yet otherwise I would have been a mess.

Sophia has taken an interest in dinosaurs. Steve took Katie and Sophia to the museum during Katie's spring break. Sophia lost interest quickly but I think they enjoyed the trip.

Sophia got up early one morning and climbed into bed with me and Steve. She went back to sleep quickly cuddling up next to us. I am not sure if she got used to sleeping in our bed when she was sick or she was just testing her limits. Either way we let her stay with us seeing she went back to sleep right away.
