Palm Springs here we come!

Steve and I have wanted to get away for our anniversary for awhile now and I have been trying to arrange childcare for what seems like months and I think it is almost all worked out. We plan on going to Palm Springs for the weekend of 6/5-7. We plan to go to a water park near there for one day, hit the spa for a massage, and just lay around to pool, relax and reconnect. It is a couple weeks away from our actual anniversary date of 6/20 (it will be 6 years), but close enough. Shortly after our anniversary trip, we are taking another vacation with all the kids to Disneyland (6/ 15-17). We do Disneyland all the time, but we are this time going to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights and we will have "vacation budget", which just means that we can eat in the park and buy souvenirs, and whatnot. Usually when we do Disneyland for the day, we try to spend $20 or less. I think Sarena is going to come with us to help with the kids, so that will make it more fun for Lilah, because she won't be stuck just doing little kid rides all day.

Steve is sick right know. No cough or fever or any other obvious symptom, but he has felt exhausted and slept almost constantly for the last 3 days. He has only been awake a few hours of each day and still feels very tired. The only other sign of sickness is that he is a little achy and sore. I hope he feels better soon, because the kids have had free reign of the house and it is a disaster. They have been pretty much been able to get away with anything. I caught Kai yesterday eating a Popsicle in the living room and the root beer drippings in a puddle at his feet. I felt bad for Melissa today, she definitely had her work cut out for her today.

Miles had his 6 month Dr. Appointment and he is doing well. Very healthy, except that his weight on the growth chart fell to 3rd percentile. That is about par for the course for our boys. Alex and Ethan were the same way. Ethan didn't have an appointment today, but we threw him on the scale and he weighed 25lbs. which is a 4lb gain in a month for him which is great! He still looks a little bit like a lollipop though.

Love,
Suzanne
