Steeplechase


Steeplechase fun with the Reynolds family!  Good friends, perfect weather, and 4 very well behaved little ones made for a really great day...even if Lee and Caroline didn't win every race this year!  




Loved meeting sweet Anna Bryce for the first time.


Tolson's first Steeplechase at 4 months old!




 After the races, we went home and had a nice family dinner.  We tried to get a picture of the girls with my grandmother Dodie...this was the best we could get!

Tolson v. Stomach bug

Tolson came home from school Friday with her first sickness, and I'm sorry to say it was the stomach bug.  Poor thing.  She could not keep anything down and was so pitiful, it broke my heart.   The only thing she has been able to stomach is Pedialyte.  She seems to be starving, but anytime I try to give her any milk, she gets sick again.  I do think she got at least a few ounces of milk today, so that is progress. I'm hoping by tomorrow she will be feeling much better.

She is so sweet and small, I feel terrible for her.  We have done a lot of snuggling...and a LOT of laundry and disinfecting!

Lee was out of town on his annual golf outing, so it made for an interesting two days.  The good news is that, so far, Caroline and I seem to have avoided it.  I don't do well with throw up, so I'm counting that as a small victory.

Go away, stomach bug, and leave my little ones in peace!

Update:  every member of our family got sick before it was all over.  It was furious, but at least it was fast!
