Pure joy these kids are. They are just so fascinating and entertaining to watch.
They are so well brainwashed that they’re excited about peas and cucumbers. Literally, excited! You would think it was a happy meal.
It has been a few months since I picked up the camera. There are usually less opportunities to shoot anything interesting during the winter months and I think I was a little burned out by the time winter set in anyway.
Recently I pulled out the camera to use it on shoot for BTS photos and decided to snap a few photos of the boys since they were acting goofy.
I can’t wait for summer to hit so we can get outside and take some new outdoor photos.
I know we’re late to the party on this one. Our kids have not been brushing daily and even though they’re 4 and 6 years old they’ve never had a checkup. We always planned on it but never got around to it. It was always just one more thing out of reach of our schedules. Finally, because we were prompted by the school, we got around to it.
This past weekend the boys both had their checkup and next Saturday Sydney will have hers.
Both boys were amazing. Max was more nervous than Andrew, but they both went through it like champs. The biggest issue with Max was that he kept wanting to taste everything they put in his mouth. He even ate all of the fluoride that they normally have to suction out. The two visits back to back were close to 2 hours after all of the paperwork and everything was done and Sydney was great at patiently waiting in the lobby with Mom (mom was very patient as well).
In the end, they both had perfect teeth without any cavities. Given how little sugar they have in their diet, I wasn’t surprised.
The morning of December 31st Andrew woke up with a slight fever and not seeming at his best. Shortly after we noticed what appeared to be a chick pox blister on his face, and then a few more on his body. By the next morning it was pretty clear he had a full outbreak of chicken pox just in time to bring in the new year.
Now a week later, all 3 have been sick with coughs and fevers, but only Andrew has had the pox.
So we wait to see what unfolds in the coming week, but with a little luck Max and Sydney were exposed to it enough to be immune, but will not have the full outbreak.
Maybe it’s in their genes somehow. As a child I was exposed over and over to chicken pox. While both of my sisters had it, I never officially did. But because of so many exposures to it, it’s thought by my doctor that I’m most likely immune.
All things considered (being sick, being suck in the house for nearly 3 weeks) all three of them have been awesome and taking it in stride. More often than not they’ve just been enjoying playing together.
Below is a short (and hardly edited) video of their birthday celebration. Being the awesome cameraman that I am, I turned the camera off at the exact time they were going to blow out the candles.
