Pink

The past few weeks have been an adventure.  Will and Alex were officially diagnosed with RSV, their ear infections earned them their first round of the "pink stuff" and (for the trifecta) they each developed pink eye this week.

By Wednesday night, poor Alex looked like Muhammad Ali after 12 rounds.  His eyes were nearly swollen shut and the ointment we are smearing on them made him look even worse.  Will just started showing signs of trouble yesterday morning.  They are doing their best to coo and giggle through it all even though the coughing has taken a toll on their throats.  Poor Alex's voice is so hoarse today that his cries come out as squeaks.

Luckily, we have had some wonderful moments mixed in with the epic battle of viruses.  We celebrated my nephew's birthday this past weekend.  Gramma Kat even drove up to join the festivities.  Nothing is better than watching little ones play together, tear open presents and gobble birthday cake.   

Thank goodness we have an adorable niece because with a house full of boys, the only pink that I actually enjoyed these past few weeks involved her sweet little self, a bunch of tulips and these goodies...

(And yes, my fingers are crossed that I don't get pink eye next.)
