Boarding Passes? Check.

Dharma food? Check.

Pork kebabs & tropical fruit salad? Check.

Now let's do this thing!

my poor baby...

This poor little boy is sick. Can you tell? Sure, he has moments where he seems OK, but in general he's glassy-eyed and lethargic. He's been running a high temp and coughing 'til he cries. He is going into see the doctor today. I already know that they are gonna say to just keep him on tylenol/motrin for the fever and run a humidifier for his cough. It's annoying that that's "all they can do". They aren't the ones up at night holding a wheezy toddler.

It's good that we are going in today though, because I want them to check him out for another reason. In the morning, for about 2 hours after he wakes up, his arms, hands, legs, feet & lips are really purple. I thought maybe it was just a blood sugar thing since he had gone so long without eating or drinking anything...I don't know. The whole reason I am posting about this is because I was wondering if any of you have had this problem with your kids? Is this normal? Do they just grow out of it? I tried googling it & the results went from scary (heart problems, Type 1 Diabetes) to no biggies.

We're just anxious for our little Asher to feel better and get back to acting all crazy again. :)

Happy 10 month day Collin! You continue to be such a bright spot in our lives. In fact, there are times when Daddy and I are tempted to go wake you (and your brother) up, just so we can snuggle with you, see your smiley face, listen to you scare us with your growls & just be silly. Love you, cutie boy.

And just because this is quite literally the ONLY picture Asher has let me take of him in a while...

mother's day

Nate made sure to have the boys dictate letters to him for me. Here's what they had to say...

Collin: (pictured eating his first OREO ever)

"Dear Mom-

Bah bah!! (In his scary growl voice) Thanks for always listening to me, even when I'm being all scary! You're the best and I love you so much, I never want you to put me down. Now, um (I picked up the um thing from Asher) do you have anything I can eat?

Love,
Collin"

Asher:

"Dear Mom-

Um, cars. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I like cars and choo-choos and buses and trucks and pretty much anything else with wheels. I also thought of cars because, like our cars, you are what keeps us going. Without you, we'd be stuck going nowhere.

Love,

Asher"

Nate:

"We love you so much sweetie, you're the best mom ever. We have the luckiest children and future children (that's right, I'm pregnant!). Happy Mother's Day!

Love,
Natey Clegg"

This morning I got to sleep til after 10. The boys made me cinnamon streussel waffles with fresh berries. They wrote me sweet notes and got me the most beautiful necklace (picture of it to come soon!), they made me an awesome lunch (grilled ribs, mashed potatoes, salad, jones' sodas, and a strawberry creme torte) and just spoiled me in general. I cuddled my little boys. I felt an immense amount of gratitude to be raising them with a man who I love so deeply. It was a beautiful day. I feel so thankful to be the mother of such wonderful children.

"Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels."

*Just to clarify, I am NOT pregnant! :)
