Catching up with the Archers

I say we have had a bit of cabin fever. Harrison got really sick almost two weeks ago. He started off with a fever and then the next day vomiting. By that night, he was breathing super fast. I took him into the doctor that next morning and his oxygen level was 79.5. He immediately got a shot and two breathing treatments. He had bronchitis, a nasty chest infection and possible pneumonia. Our insurance company sent a breathing machine out to our house that same day and the next few days were spent at home resting and getting a couple breathing treatments a day (along with antibiotics). He is doing just fine now but he was down for about a week. By time Saturday came, we were ready to get out of the house. We headed to Six Flags Magic Mountain. The little boy sitting next to William was so cute. As soon as he got off of a ride his dad said, "where to next?" And his response every time was, "keep following those little boys like the last ride." So they had a playmate for the day.

On Sunday, we had church of-course. We have been walking every night 3.25 miles and taking long hikes (about 5 miles) every Sunday. Well we found this new park that the boys absolutely love. And Scott and I also had fun on the teeter tauter.

We are trying to get back into shape. Once you get out of the habit, it's hard to find time. I used to be so good at exercising every day but the health issue got me out of sync for a while. Scott was my motivation to get back into the habit. He works out at 4am every morning and then again on his lunch break at work, then comes home and walks with the family. We have been doing the family walks for almost two months now so a couple weeks ago, I'm making myself find the time to get on the elliptical once a day. I think the older the boys get the busier we get.
