life lately

 Last week the dreaded Hand, Foot, Mouth disease got the kiddos. Jeanie had a one day fever then a few spots on her mouth, hands, and privates. Then the next day her fever was gone, but August had one for half a day, and two spots on his throat. Then fevers gone and that was it. We feel pretty lucky as my bf's kids had it and her son's foot skin was pretty much sloughing off and she got it too and her hands were a itchy burning spotty mess.

Elizabeth and I hit up the country bar I used to go to a ton in my college days. Wore my new boots :) It was fun, but we need to go a lot more, didn't know any of the dances!

The leaves are down, Doug has been busy raking and doing his gutter cleaning side business. 

I had a suspicious mole taken off, and it had some 'abnormal cells' so they had to dig it out. Thankfully they got all the bad cells out and I'll have yet another scar. 

Otherwise just living, mostly happy busy lives with these kiddos!

This sweet little mama, here she is with all her 'babies' covered in little burp cloth blankets. 

And she buckled her baby Stella into the car seat by herself too. So sweet.

Speaking of mamas, my mom has continued coming every Wednesday all throughout my maternity leave (she babysits on Wednesdays when I'm at work) and it has been a wonderful help to get stuff done around the house, or do an errand, have an extra set of eyes at the park, and just to spend some extra time with her too. I really appreciate it. Back to work in 2 weeks! 😩

I'll be ready for a couple days a week in the grown-up world, but it's just as busy at work than at home, and having to squeeze in time to pump is always so hard to do. But oh well, thankful to have had this time at home with my babies.
