Last night at about 2am Sterling came walking into our room"Can I daddy?" his little voice said quietly. (meaning can I come out of bed). He then threw up all over the rug in our room. Then he said in a tiny voice, "oh no, I spilled". We hurriedly woke up, got out of bed and cleaned him up. One thing I can tell you is that Denver is sooooo much better at dealing with throw up than me. I hesitate and he just does what needs to be done. We stayed up with him for about 30 minutes to make sure he wouldn't throw up again. (somehow that has become our magic number for waiting. Every time a kid throws up in the night, we wait 30 minutes before putting them back to bed). We put him back to bed and then about 5 minutes later we heard him throw up again!
So we cleaned him up again (or Denver cleaned him up again and I assisted by giving him things that he needed). After the hard part (the cleaning up throw up part) was done, I sent Denver back to bed because he had to take his boards the next day and I took care of the easy part (holding Sterling). I waited longer than 30 minutes this time. He finally fell asleep in my arms around 4:30am and then I put him back to bed, half expecting him to throw up again. He didn't and he seemed fine all day today. Garrett threw up Saturday night, sterling Monday night, who's going to be Wednesday night? (2 day incubation period).

My bound blog
About a month ago I got my bound blog book in the mail. I love having it! It is so fun to read. The kids love it so much, but it's getting really worn and it's only a month old. I'm debating on buying another and keeping it safe from the possibility of getting ripped by a 2 year old.
This blog book only features the years 2007 and 2008. I'll be making 2009 and 2010 next!

The Stake Dance for adults
For the last 3 years, our stake has had a dance for all the adults in the stake. The first year we went. I picked up one of the youth so she could babysit while we went dancing. I was soooo excited because I never get to go dancing with my hubby anymore because we have kids. So, with my expectations astronomically high, we went to the dance. At the dance, I kept waiting and waiting for a good, new dance song to be played (you know, the kind they play at youth dances). I even went up to the DJ and requested songs. He refused to play any of my requests! They were reasonable requests, too. Songs that were played at youth dances and so forth.
Denver kept trying to get me to leave because he could see I was getting upset that no fun fast dance songs were being played, but I insisted we stay till the end, hoping ONE would get played. To my dismay, nothing! So the next year (last year), I was asked to make a CD of songs to play at the dance for the younger generation. I emailed a list of the songs I was going to put on the CD (with the dislcaimer that all of these songs are played at youth dances and if they're okay for our children, they should be okay for us.) to the DJ. He replied and said he couldn't play any of them. So, needless to say, we stayed home on STRIKE. :) It was more my idea. Denver didn't really care.
This year, the stake president asked me if I would make a CD again with the promise that some of them would be played at the dance. So I made a CD and sent it to the stake. The eve of the dance came and we got ourselves and the kids ready to go (babysitting was going to be provided by youth as a camp fundraiser). It was our last dance before we moved and I was getting really excited. We got to the church parking lot and unloaded our family. Once out, Garrett threw up all over the pavement. He had fallen asleep in the car, but we just thought he was exceptionally tired. So, I went in the bldg. to find a bag Garrett could hold on the way home in case he threw up again. I also peeked in the cultural hall to see what kinds of food was there and grabbed a couple creme puffs and cheese cake bites for the road. I also stopped by to say 'hi' to the stake pres.
As I was walking back out to the car with a bag and the goodies, a high councilor came out with these roses. He said he was sorry our son threw up and we couldn't be there to dance and then he gave us this consolation prize. It was really nice!
On the way home, the money we were going to give as a fundraiser for babysitting was burning a hole in our pockets so we stopped at McDonalds for french fries and milk shakes (comfort foods for me). Once we got home, we put Garrett and Colson to bed and then had a little dance with Maelie and Sterling and ate our french fries and milkshakes. It turned out to be a fun night with a few bumps.
BTW, Garrett threw up a couple more times last night.

A lot of white, cold stuff
On Friday evening, the snow started and it snowed all night and almost all day Saturday. According to the weather reports, we got 28 inches! Tonight, 4 days later, it is snowing and is supposed to snow all day tomorrow and we are supposed to get anywhere from 12-24 inches. By the end of this storm, we should have the most snowfall Philadelphia has ever experienced in a winter season.
This is a icicle from our roof. The kids wanted to eat it as you can see.
After the shoveling is over, relaxing on the snow.
Denver jumped up and landed in the snow and the snow covered him almost completely.
this is a picture of our Honda parked on the street.

I'm sure I'll get more pictures of our next storm.
Because of the weather, our stake conference is cancelled on Sunday.
4 months old
Colson turned 4 months old today! He is so fun to have in our home! He is a very easy baby. He will sit by himself happily for hours. His brothers and sister LOVE him or 'it' according to Sterling. He smiles all the time. He sleeps 12 hours at night! YEAH! I will know his weight in a couple of days at his doctor's appointment. He already had one haircut. He spits up all the time and is full of boogars so we go through a lot of burp rags and tissues. 
I love these orange shoes. Jordan, a friend of mine gave them to me and I think they are sooo cute!
There he is GQing.

What a cutie!
it was bound to happen...
After parking on the street by Temple University for 3+ years, it finally happened. There have been numerous cars that have gotten broken into by Temple over the years so it was bound to happen. We only have 4 months left, but we couldn't make it through without a break in. The good was that nothing except 2 dimes sitting out in the open was taken. I was shocked our stereo was still intact. This is one more thing to add to our Philly adventures.
