I haven't seen much of you on here lately. How is everything? How are the kids?

Well, hi! Thanks for the howdy. I'm good, it's been a busy week at work and home so I've not had much time to post. Kids are good, o-man had his 9 month appointment today and he's great-aside from an ear infection. poor buddy. He is cruising and always on the go (though not too far from yours truly!) Maggie is hilarious as always, and testing us at every turn. How is Jonah?

Wow, hard to believe Owen is already 9 months old! Jonah likes to pull the ear-infection-at-the-well-check trick, too. Hopefully Owen will be feeling better soon! These kids certainly keep us on our toes, don't they?

Jonah's doing okay. He still can't shake this stomach bug or whatever the heck it is. He's had diarrhea for two weeks as of tomorrow, and we followed the pediatrician's recommendations and had him tested for a bunch of stomach issues (rotavirus and some other stuff I've never heard of), but everything came back negative. We also abandoned all dairy, switched to soy milk, and have been sticking loosely (no pun intended) to the BRAT diet with no luck. So, we're kind of stumped. I'm going to call the doctor again in the morning to get their take on it. This can't be normal, right? Not to mention, it's accompanied by some overall fussiness and clinginess that's atypical for Jonah. Whew, bet you wish you didn't ask, huh?

Oh no! Poor fella. And poor mom and dad. I think JLPT's Caleb had similar digestive issues not too long ago. I hope he gets back to his old self soon.

Thanks! I hope you're able to have a nice, relaxing weekend after a long, busy week!
