We officially have a nanny now and we are very happy so far. Part of the reason for the nanny is to keep Jake from getting sick so often. Out of the past several months his nose seems to continuously run and at least once a month we had to scramble to find someone to watch him at the last minute. Unfortunately Jake had one more bad cold/flu left in him. Jake has been sick in the past but no matter how bad he got he always played and laughed between the fevers and puking. He seemed to get sick enough on Friday that we started him on Augmentin and we are glad that we did that. All day Saturday Jake was had high fevers and cough that made him puke and was generally miserable. If it didn't involve watching Nemo or drinking apple juice he wasn't interested. It took some serious coaxing to get him to take the medicine because it tastes bad and Jake pretty much likes everything. One cute side to the illness is that every time he coughed and woke himself up at night he would cry out "mommmmmy.....mommmy" This was too much for mandy to handle and even though he would fall back asleep on his own she would go downstaris to give him a drink (or poke me in the side until I did). Today he is at least playing some and seems to be on the mend as you can see from the picture he was more interested in playing with the laundry basket than helping fold the socks. (I can't blame him)

so sorry to hear Jakie has been that sick. He is probably getting kind of skinny! Glad Elizabeth seems really good, and probably after the holidays, everything will settle down to a routine. Can hardly wait to see you guys in Portland! love kris
