Rest of September and One Sick Mama

More photos of our September fun.  Unfortunately, my health has been a bit wild since September 17th.    Four ER visits, severe dehydration, weight loss, abdominal pain and Type 1 diabetes complications have made me a stronger Mommy and taught me to appreciate my family every moment of everyday.  Today is October 10th and I just had a lovely endoscopy/colonoscopy.  I'm feeling okay and hoping the doctors figure out how to get me feeling great again soon.  In the meantime, here are pictures, pictures and more pictures.

Ethan chomping while Connor shows off his neck strength.

First taste of food.  Food = not so interesting.  Catie = much more interesting and fun to laugh with instead of eating.

Brandon eating.

Connor has his first taste of food.  Like Ethan, he finds laughing at his sister much more interesting than the cereal bites.

Fall weather at the park.

Roaring like tigers in a tiger's mouth.

A sparkly volcano experiment for Miss Catie to enjoy

Park date with Mom.  Enjoying (actually despising, I'm not posting the picture of him crying because he was tired and didn't want a single sip of the yucky stuff) a Starbucks hot chocolate.

mmmmm, fingers taste so delicious.

Creating a green, green garden (like Little Critter does in My Green, Green Garden) with Daddy and pups.

Gardening half dressed is how we roll here.

Daddy and his boys (don't mind the pink).

Holding hands?

Smashing Ethan's face?

Just hanging out.

Sadie wants to be a baby, too.

Ethan's doctor's appointment with his ENT doctor.  The appointment wait only took an hour.  Luckily, Daddy took the day of so he could spend some time multi-tasking for the twins.

Catie and Brandon devour yogurt on a special Mommy-Toddlers date.

Brandon getting ready to make car and truck pizzas.

Car and Truck pizzas.

We sleep where we fall in this house.  I wish I had the picture of Ethan asleep in the Bumbo (he is the first of my four to ever fall asleep in a Bumbo).

Sweet potatoes taste a little better than cereal, but not much.

Once again, why eat when his siblings are so very entertaining?

This is what happens when toddlers see a great, big pregnant mommy throughout her entire pregnancy.  Being pregnant is the norm.

Enjoying outdoor time with Catie, Brandon and the pups.

Look closely.  Connor is helping Daddy rearrange bedrooms so four little ones can sleep in two rooms.

Look closely, again.  Once of Catie's toys is alive:)

Catie and Brandon enjoy cake pops, smoothies and fun at the park with Mom.

Super-Grandma feeds two at once.

Catie and I take the three dogs to Petsmart for baths.  Fleas for the first time = more flea medicine = stinky dogs = need for baths.  And, yes, Sadie did try to sit in Brandon's car seat.

Breaking out the old  Halloween costumes because what could be more fun than starting October fun in September.

Wearing new clothes from Grandma Linda (Ethan is, Connor was prior to either spit-up or a poop explosion).

Cake pops and park yet again.  

Catie pushing Brandon.

Connor and Ethan loving the new stroller Daddy and Catie bought.

I love this stroller because it can take any combination of my babies.

Catie, Connor and lots of toys.

Brunch date with Brian in Grapevine.

A light mimosa (just a sip of OJ so no rise in blood sugar), hand sanitizer (an essential) and Ethan's feet =  happy Mom and a revised version of "Brunch Date."

Connor came along, too.  I had a brunch date with three wonderful guys!
