Catching up.....Once again

Well, last week was a nightmare. We found out that Mom's cancer has spread to her brain and almost lost her at one point, but she's a fighter, she was back and decorating before you knew it:) So, we are home again this week. My sister is with Mom and Dad. Also, my Dad's sister came to help.
F and I are both on antibiotics for some sort of throat thing.....hers has been accompanied with lots of "snotty" too. You haven't lived until you've seen a person with CF and a cold do a sinus rinse. It' hard to believe that all of that is in that child's head! G is trying to catch it, but can't really decide what she's going to do. W is surprisingly the healthy one this time.
R is back to work and things here have been pretty slow since I'm trying to nurse F. I thought I had Easter outfits picked out, but have changed. I wanted to make a bunch of pillowcase dresses for the girls to put on coming in and out of the pool, and leaving the beach. So, I got on ebay and started looking for inexpensive vintage embroidered pillowcases. I found a lot of cute ones this time including the ones I made into Easter dresses. Here are a couple of pictures:



Isn't that the most precious little pillowcase ever? It's hard to see as well in these pictures, but it has lavender crochet along the bottom and picture in the center is Jesus with a lamb in his arms and one sitting at his feet. Since they were pillowcases, there were two matching ones which was perfect. I went with lavender for the ties at the shoulders and found W the only lavender polo shirt on the entire internet in his size. So, now it's decided, lavender is the color for this Easter. What in the world will R wear?
F has her quarterly appt. in Tampa the week after Easter. I hope she is over this cold by then. I don't think I've ever taken her to this new care center without one. What an awful mother!
Summer came down with a case of tonsilitus the same day my throat started hurting so bad, so we really haven't spoken this week. Isn't that funny? She emailed me the night I couldn't speak to tell me that she had it and couldn't call the next day.

It's been really hot here this week and the pool is finally warm enough for Mommy to float on her raft IF no one splashes her:) Of course that's a big "if". That's about it for now.....I have to catch my Duggers!

I am mostly better now..and you sounded better today too. I know ATT is excited I am back on the phone. And the dress is beautiful. I know Dina is wishing she had a girl to put in a dress.. I am just wondering how long it would take M or S to realize all they had to do was tug on the ribbon a little to create mass panic.
