Roman is finally feeling better.
Poor kid has had a rough winter.

I took the kids to Madison earlier this week to stay with Brian and Ree's kids while Charisse flew down to Texas to see Brian one more time before departing to Iraq. Charisse's mom, Betty, was also there when we visited and was a big help. 5 kids would have been way too much for me to handle on my own... how does Crazy Octomom really think she can do it???

The kids had a blast together. Roman and Genevieve sized each other up and enjoyed watching each other slobber over their toys. Ava and Dominic really bonded, especially when Soleil was at school both days. They hid from monsters and enjoyed playing doctor...
even bandaging Roman's head! Once Soleil was home, though, she and Ava started their "girl's only" tactics and would run away (or chase) Dominic any chance they had. In the end, it was a fantastic time!

Not much else going on at home. Ava is getting super excited that her birthday is coming soon. Her Hannah Montana themed birthday party is slated for the 25th and can't get here soon enough!

Roman is officially crawling!!!! He also has 6 teeth and I just saw #7 tonight trying to pop through. At this rate, he'll have his molars by his first birthday...
