Sickness has arrived.

Kids and I having a tea party.


A Papa and MiMi visit over Thanksgiving.


Our first snow and first big snot of the season! Weather conditions our terrible and the McClaflins spent the morning in it not by choice. Our three little blessings have come "under the weather." I have gained more mommy knowledge over the past 48 hours and now have a handle (I think) on Croup protocol. It is an ugly diagnosis and Alina's got it. All our kids have or have had temps except Conlin, Alina was the winner with 103.4 yesterday. Niamh has an ear infection and Conlin is a wheezin. I have initiated a dry erase board sectioned for all meds, breathing treatments, and temperature documentation. Does it sound like it's busy here at the McClaflin's? You all are wondering how in the world do I have time for a posting. I don't. I put sesame street in the VCR and have so much to do that I don't know where to start, so I thought I just wouldn't start. That makes the most sense to me no matter how much lack of sense there is to my approach. So when Dane returns this evening we will initiate more meds and pray for some sleep tonight. I did get a weigh in on the boys. Official weight: Conlin 24lbs and Niamh 20.4lbs. He is also getting that first tooth. If any of you out their in cyber space have good ideas on how to ween (sp?) from nursing, then comments would be appreciated.
