T Minus 2 weeks til Halloween

I had the best intentions of making a Halloween costume for the girls but I am not sure that is going to happen. Let's hope for the best. Well, we have been sick in this house for weeks now, Jeannie too and she has had a hard time sleeping in her bed because she wants to nurse all of the time.....I haven't hardly been able to visit baby Robbie since he was born. I am looking forward to letting the babies hang out together. He is still so very small to play though. Jeannie has been trying more foods. She tried squash at Frankenmuth, mashed bananas, peaches and a little mashed potato as well as the apple raspberry sauce. I have some broccoli puréed in the freezer waiting for her.

Jeannie is army crawling like a pro now and I can hardly catch her in time before she gets things in her mouth and doing a little better with standing assisted. I was trying to take pictures of the girls in the leaves with the 35 mm this evening and she was getting into those leaves like they were candy. I think I got some really good ones but I am unsure because it is film. I still love film but I do hate the wait. I found a couple rolls in the basement that had not been developed that should come in this week. I will take these 2 in when I get those back. We went to Frankenmuth for my birthday celebration this past weekend. Opa and Oma Ronnie were too sick to attend and I am glad they bowed out. Opa has been having some issues with the coughing and actually passed out this evening after we visited them! Oma had a scare. Frankenmuth was quite nice for the scarecrow festival. I had a nice free chicken dinner at the Bavarian Inn with pumpkin ice cream! Mom, Dad and Aunt Gloria came and we walked around and did some fun events like pumpkin catapult, face painting, pumpkin painting and a maze all of which Liesl fully enjoyed. Dad was very sleepy from the gigantic beer he drank at dinner and almost missed the catapult!

After Frankenmuth I knew something was amiss with me and soon found out I had contracted the plague as well. I stayed with mom Monday and Tuesday because I could hardly move to take care of the girls then I visited Veronika today who also is sick. Wishing we could all get over this.

Jeannie has not said Momma again for me but I do have it on tape for evidence. Well wishes to the Perrys and to Opa and Oma. Safe Travels to Oma as I may not blog before then. We will miss you and we will try and blog as much as we can and Facetime! Yay for Facetime! It has gotten us through some rough spots these last couple months.
