Claire update

Well, we went to the doctor and they told me her ears are looking great, but her thoat is a mess.  So this viral stuff is mostly affecting her that way and will hopefully pass soon.  She's currently attempting a nap which lasted for about 15 min before the crying started up again.  I'm attempting to let her cry it out so she gets a little sleep but i'm going to lose my nerve if too many more minutes pass by.

Check out the latest with Brenden & Claire- http://www.brendenbehen.blogspot.com/

This look says it all

Still 103.2...moving into day 4...just fantastic...who needs sleep right?

Naptime was a screaming bust but she and I both have slept on and off for the past 4 hours between movies and rounds of attempted play. We are all wiped out...that is everyone accept Brenden.

Fever is down to 102 but she is miserable. Neither Todd or I got any sleep as she was NOT sleeping in her bed.

104.2...not fun

Still sick...102.9 and a restless night of sleep

Fever of 103...

Looks like round 2...poor kiddo has a fever of 102.5 and the chills...I hate this stuff!

Owl Hats...thank you Vivi

Our friend Vivi made these adorable hats for the kids. You can see Brenden is clearly feeling better and Claire is as goofy as ever. Also if you look closely at the first picture some of you might recognize Dolittle in there. My Gorilla from when I was a kid that is one of the few things that made Brenden feel better while he was so sick. I'm very grateful Brenden didn't get sick on him as I don't think Dolittle would survive a trip through the washing machine.
