NOTHING BUT HAWAII ON MY MIND

So every year we go on a trip with the Healy Family.  This is a picture from our cruise to Alaska last summer.  We had so much fun!! These are Mikes sisters (minus Sarah, sorry sari I couldnt find one of all of us) except I claim them as my own because I love them all so much!! Anyways we are headed to Hawaii in a few weeks and it's all I can think about!!  This time we are taking 8 kids under the age of seven.  I feel bad for whoever sits by us on the plane.  Well team Healy I cant wait for more times like these!!!  

WHAT THE....?

Cate woke up during the middle of the night on friday and was coughing hard and was having a hard time breathing. So I took her to the doctor on Friday morning where she threw up on me and the doctor. They suctioned out her nose and tested it for RSV because she was wheezing really bad. That test came back negative so they sent it for further testing. In the meantime they put her on a steroid and sent me home with a nebulizer. The poor thing was so sick all day Friday all she did was sleep in my arms. Saturday was a little better but not much. They called me today and told me her tests came back positive for rhinovirus. What the heck is Rhinovirus? They said her oxygen levels were OK so to keep up the breathing treatments until her cough goes away. If she gets worse at all bring her directly back in. It's a lot like the common cold it just gets in their lungs and makes it hard to breathe. I feel like I cant win with this little stink the poor thing gets sick so easily. The breathing treatments are awful because she hates them and screams the entire time. I feel so bad because I have to restrain her arms and legs to even get it done. I just feel so bad for the poor little thing!!

18 MONTHS OLD

Cate was 18 months old on the seventeenth and cant believe it.  She is totally cracking us up lately.  She is like having a parrot around these days, no matter what you say she try's to repeat it.  Here are a few fun things she says:

I love you

Just minute

what

why

she says most of our entire families names, except mine sounds more like Debbie

and so many more these are just a few of her favs!!

I love this little stink so much she is a little snuggler and I love to snuggle.  Oh yeah thats another one of her words nuggle!! I am so lucky to have two sweet little girls!

I CANT BELIEVE I DID IT!!

I am an assistant director for girls camp this year and one of the activities we are doing is repelling into a cave. We wanted to go up and try it before we actually had the girls do it.  Ok, so this is terrifying when you are afraid of heights and claustrophobic. Two others went before me and I didn't think I would do it, but I did and I must admit it was pretty fun!!  The hike out the bottom wasn't as much fun because the water at the bottom of the cave was freezing!!  So I am totally proud of myself tonight!! Yeah for me!! 

STILL GOING STRONG

Well anyone who knows me knows I love Chipper Jones and the Atlanta Braves.  Just thought I would give Chipper a shout out he is still hitting over 400 and it's the middle of June! Way to go Chipper!!
