We've had a busy couple of weeks and I wish I could say it's been filled with all fun things. About a week and a half ago, our household came down with the flu and we ended up passing it around for about a week. Kensley ended up with it first and after a visit to the doctor, it was confirmed to be a viral stomach bug that was quick to hit, but wouldn't last long. Despite vomiting and diarrhea, our little munchkin was in good spirits and after a few days was back to her normal self. I managed to come down with it on my days off, which was tough with caring for an active little one, but thankful I didn't have to miss work. Jeremy was hit hardest of the three of us and spent much of the weekend in bed. After resting, disinfecting and staying in, we've managed to get back in good health.
This past weekend, we made a quick trip over to Columbus, OH to celebrate little Elliana's 1st birthday (she officially turns 1 on Wednesday, the 26th). It'd been a while since we've made a long trip with Kens so we weren't sure how she'd do. Nana and Papa got us a portable DVD player for Christmas and Kens loved watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on repeat for several hours. She didn't sleep as much as we hoped (15 minutes on the way over and 30 minutes on the way home), but did pretty well over all.
She had a GREAT time playing with Elli, Elli's older cousins, and of course being right in the middle of all the action. She was on the go all day long with no naps (with the exception of the cat naps in the car). We're thankful we were able to help celebrate with sweet, little Elli. It's so hard to believe that our little girls are no longer babies and now toddlers.
Here are a few pictures from the party.
