On the road to recovery...

Hello!
We're pretty sure Gabriel's fever broke at some point overnight or this morning while he was sleeping. He didn't wake up until around 11am so, he slept around 13 hours. We went to the doctor just to make sure he's out of the woods, but so far- the fever is gone and he's back to a normal routine. They prefer a child goes 24 hours with no fever before they return to school so he won't be going back to school tomorrow. He'll be going to school on Friday though and then he'll be home for the weekend! I swear- that little stinker just wants to hang out at home! (Just Kidding) Gabe loves school and I can tell already he's excited to get back there as soon as we'll let him. So- all is well on the home front and we're well on the way to a full recovery! Take care- I'll check in again sometime this weekend. Love and Miss you all! -Kari

Walker/Gait-Trainer Video's....

Hello All- I wanted to try a new way to post video of Gabe, so I'm using some of the Gait-trainer video from Nov/Dec 2006. A few of you may have seen it, but I know most of you haven't so ENJOY! I mostly want to see if using this way to post video is better than the other way. Take care, and again ENJOY!! -Kari

Walker video of Gabe in Nov/Dec of 2006:

Home Suggling...Resting... and getting sick of Mommy!

Gabe is still home with a fever, he's eating well and keeping him drinking is pretty easy with the new cup. Just grabbed a few quick snap shots of Gabe snuggling up with his new blanket.

(Made for him with love by Mommy!)

He can be such a trooper when it comes to giving me some cute smiles when I ask...
Cheese!!
Unless he's into Sponge Bob....

OK, I think I'd better stop flashing pictures of him before he kills me with that look!! I think I captured the official end of his patience with me!! These are the moments when he reminds me the most of me!! HA!HA!HA!

Hopefully, he'll be feeling better by tomorrow, if not we'll have to go and see the doctor to get some medicine. For now, more rest, more fluids, more advil, and more Sponge Bob!
Take care! -Kari

more at home time...

Well, Gabe woke up around 12:30am crying and had a fever- so no school Monday or Tuesday for Gabe! Hopefully he'll be back in school on Wednesday. He is in really good spirits, just laying around- it's all about rest, fluids, and snuggles. Hope everyone is doing well- I'll update you on Gabe as soon as I know anything new- seems like it's just a winter cold, but we'll keep a close eye on it just in case.
Take care- I've got to get back to Mommy duty.
Love, Kari

Hanging at home...

Hello All!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been a bit busy with Gabe home so much. He's had four days with 2 hour delay- 2 days with school closed- one day home sick- and he just had a four day winter break on top of that!

We've been spending a lot of quality and quantity!!

We're both getting a bit spoiled I think- not to mention I haven't been able to work in a while. I'm not complaining by any means- he's a total sweetie!

Anyway...

We found a cup that Gabe likes and he can drink by himself- I just took a few quick picks of him with Daddy and thought I would share them...

Love and Miss you-

Kari
