Thomas turned 2 today and had a great time playing with all of his new farm toys!! Matt and Ben were just as excited to play all day!! The cake in the evening ended in a group shower..papa with 3 boys in one shower!!! At least we are all clean again! Thank you for all the well wishes, Tom had a fun day!! The macNeills
I was wrong, apparently Sam can get the vomiting illness that has hit all the boys and mama. Hard to watch the little guy throw up every meal for 24 hours. He only threw up 3 times today...mama had done alot of her own laundry !!! Despite this, Sam is in good mood, over 12 pounds and is starting to smile. The side view in the blue outfit was one of his "sort of smiles"...though we really have not caught it on film yet. Matt and Ben were proud of their "hair". Thomas is playing with the music and dancing and falling on the sofa... never dull in the MacNeill household. We can't wait for Tom's birthday tomorrow!!! The MacNeills
This has been a tough last 10days with matt, then tom, then mama and now Ben taking their turns at a 2 day stomach bug. This has led to more vomit clean up then I had ever hoped to experience ... Thankfully Sam is ok and papa seems to have avoided it. Mama even missed out on the day trip to Saint John on Sunday when papa took the 3 older boys to visit the Gaudet Family (matt loves Gerard's helicopter!!!) and meet Jacques for his baptism. Sam says thanks again to all for so much cool new stuff!!! (Can't believe how much stuff a 4th boy gets!!) Have a good week and hope the illness stays away from everyone else. The MacNeills
Jackie dressed up as a wizard to help out Buzz lightyear!!! Sam enjoyed another bath and mama likes to chill out at the computer with her youngest boy!!! On the storm day, the boys played all together as you can see!!! The macNeills
Valentines Day meant peanut butter sandwiches with hearts cut out, cards from all the boys and some special rice crispy squares in the shapes of hearts... As you can see, the boys continue to smother their little brother with attention. Tom likes to wear his winter jacket without pants or shirts and Ben is writing his name on the 35 valentines cards that he wrote this year. Happy Valentines Day to everyone, The MacNeills
As you can see , it is not only Matt that likes to help out. Thomas loves to put the soother in "baby's" mouth (even when he is sleeping!!). Ben was super helpful when I i picked up all the boys and was finshing supper and Sam was a bit fussy so Ben kept him happy with the soother!! Matt decided to paint his own face as well!!! He loves being a clown. Samuel is also loving his nap in his belly. He is over 11 pounds now and doing well. We are all pretty lucky (minus the colds that we all have for over 2 weeks..sigh...poor Sam, it is hard to eat with a snuffly nose!!) The MacNeills
Papa had his birthday and boy did he ever have alot of cards to open!!! The boys get so excited to see him open up their gifts that they made!! Matt and Ben are baking with Jackie...they absolutely adore her (as do we) She comes around 3 afternoons a week to help mama out and play with the kids and get them outside etc. It has been wonderful!! Samuel is growing, as usual and Thomas loves the fish!!! Take care, The MacNeills
