Rough Week

Our rough week in summary:


Sunday - Alexa biffs it at church and lands on her face.  Bleeds all over Kyle and looks like she got punched in the mouth.  Poor girl.  Later that day, she was outside playing with her favorite toy at the Family Reunion, Roxy the dog.  Roxy lovingly puts her paw on Alexa's face and ends up scratching her--three perfect claw marks running all the way down the side of her face.  She still wanted to play with Roxy though, and was mad we took her inside to clean her up and take it easy.  Here's a video of her "talking" to the dog (growling) earlier in the week.


Monday - Dad is sick starting Sunday and going through Monday.  He is nauseous, pale, light headed, and spends most of the reunion in bed.


Tuesday - Kyle wakes up early and throws up until there's nothing left.  Spends the day tired and miserable.


Wednesday - Jenny copies Kyle and throws up 8 times.


Thursday - Jenny (12 weeks pregnant) is on her way to work and starts bleeding a lot all of the sudden, so she turns around to go back home.  The Dr. rushes her in for another ultrasound, and we find out that there's a tear in the placenta that's causing a lot of blood loss. Baby still looks good and has a great heart rate, but if the tear doesn't heal itself there's still a small chance of miscarriage. Have to stay off my feet as much as possible for the next week until they check again, which is really hard to do!  Especially with a 14 month old who can't exactly put herself into her crib or highchair at this point.  I'm feeling much better and the bleeding had stopped by Friday.  Just weak and tired off and on.
Kyle left notes for me all around the house Friday morning to sit down and touch nothing!
Friday - Kyle flies off the scooter on the way to work.  He takes a nice slide on the road, which they lovingly pick out of him at an Urgent Care Clinic.  Luckily, nothing is broken, but he is very scraped up and sore.  He thought he broke his toe, but it was just a blood vessel that burst under his toenail, so they burned a hole through his toenail to release all the blood/pressure.  Burnt toenail is an interesting smell....We're glad he's ok.  Went to Wal-Mart Friday night to get milk and Jenny rode around in an electric cart with Kyle the gimp walking beside.

December 2024 - Christmas Fun

We were so happy to have Marmie and Grandpa fly out for the Swingle Christmas party.  Emily is the best party planner of all time and had really fun games, prizes, and yummy treats despite her whole family being sick.  Craig and Chelsea gave us a fun Christmas lantern aquarium pass for Christmas and it was amazing!  They had entire habitats full of lantern animals from all over the world.    Tyler and Alexa had their violin Christmas recital at a local care facility, which was such a great idea on their teacher's part.  Sadly, I had to join via FaceTime because I was out of town.  But they did great! We were excited to hear Ian Beagley play viola on Temple Square.  He and Alexa also put together another amazing family recital.  It gets better every year!  Ian played viola; Alexa played violin and sang; Tyler played violin; and Tad, Liam, Lincoln, and Sawyer played the piano.   One of my best friends from high school, Katie Cutr...

June 2024 - Cincinnati Sweeny Reunion & Outbuilding Renters

We had tons of fun at the Sweeny family reunion just outside Cincinnati.  We found some good flight deals so the kids were excited we didn't have to drive haha.  The house we stayed in had an indoor basketball court, outdoor sand volleyball court, a pool, and lots of space for games.  We had a great time.  We flew in early so we spent one night at Grandma and Grandpa Sweeny's house.  It was the first time our 3 youngest have been to their house so that was fun.  We saw lots of baby bunnies running all around their neighborhood, and I was grateful to stop at Yellowwood to see Uncle Ben's grave and Carolyn Guss's house. Nathan entertaining himself during our layover One of the days we hiked Hocking Hills and it was other-worldly.  So beautiful. Nathan was obsessed with Anne and only wanted to hike with her :) We also spent one afternoon at a local science museum It was so nice to have everyone together.  It's been 6 years since I've seen Adam & ...

August 2024 - Lagoon, Nathan the Racer, and Cubs with Viggo

We are in denial that summer is already over.  It went sooo fast! All of the kids earned tickets to Lagoon by doing their summer reading.  Alexa and Tyler read 5,000 pages; Tad read 2,000; and Liam read 1,000.  The three oldest also typed up a book report.  Alexa read Way of Kings; Tyler read How to Train Your Dragon and Percy Jackson; and Tad enjoyed Road Dahl, Hardy Boys, and Investigators. We headed back to school in 8th, 6th, 3rd, 1st, and preschool.  Audrey will be home by herself 3 days a week for a few hours while Nathan is in preschool, which will be a big adjustment for her.   Nathan wanted a Mario Kart birthday so we made a Mario cake and took him go karting.  He was better at driving than I expected haha.  He got the handle of the gas and brake pedals and steering wheel pretty fast.  He got more train tracks, magnet trains, Duplos, some Mario toys, and a Mario coloring book for his birthday.
