If you could see me right now, you would see me with a HUGE grin and skipping!

This past week of steroids was the best yet!

We still had some hiccups.  Like constant laundry from pee leaking at night.  Ike was a little emotional.  And by day 5 he was pretty tired and was complaining of his legs hurting.

But ya know what?!  Barely any whining!  Seriously.  Just less of that makes my life SO much better!  If this is my life for the next 1.75 years, I will take it!

We were SUPER busy this past week, so I am going to do my best to catch everyone up!

On Tuesday, after our HORRIBLE day, Ike woke up and asked to go to the train yard.  So, I got on the internet, and did some research. I know a few of you asked where we were.  It is at the end of Judd St.  You take Chicago Dr. and head North on Judd.   You drive to the dead end, and you are about 10 feet from the tracks!  The trains only move at certain times.  We got there at about 11:50 and saw about 4 trains.  Let me warn you, it is a little sketchy!  There is broken glass, and some trash on the ground, but TOTALLY worth being that close to the trains!

 

This train was in motion, and we were able to get that close! They even blew the whistle!

After about 20 minutes, there wasn't any more trains.  So, we went and explored.  Gabby found some rocks and sticks.  Just in case you didn't know, we don't feed our children!

On Wednesday, it was kids day at the Berlin Fair.  For the first time that I can think of, I actually ENJOYED my time with the kids!  I wasn't chasing, threatening, and trying to keep them behaving well the entire the time.  There were moments, but nothing like that past.  We really had a blast!  Thanks Mom and Jamie for all your help!

 

It's Frank!

We visited tons of animals!  Gabby was just shaking with excitement!

Laney, my cowgirl at heart!

We then had to ride all the rides!  My kids love them!

Doesn't he look great!  Since figuring our his stomach problems, he has put on almost 10 pounds!   He won't eat still, but we are keeping Ensure in business!

 Hi Aunt Jamie and Laney!

 Laney went on the roller coaster twice!  The second time she HAD to ride in front!  That's my girl!

So that is what I have so far!

I'm seriously thanking God for this past week.  Today Ike is still coming off the steroids, so he is a little achy.  But you know what, he TELLS me.  I can fix it.  For this, I am grateful.

So, until next time!  Adios!
