Back to McCray's CRAZY Days!

AN UPDATE ON 2/19: Paige got the stomach bug, too! Vomiting last night.....minutes before Lewis calls to say he's missed his flight home from Mississippi & won't be home until tomorrow! AHHH! I was ready for a LONG night. BUT, she made it through the night & is playing this morning. So, hopefully, it's short-lived like Taite's bug!! Calgon, take me away.....

It's been a few weeks since I've had an update! Things have definitely been chaotic around here. So, here's the run-down of the last several weeks' craziness....

A few weeks ago, Lewis got the flu. Two days later, I had it, too....just in time for him to leave on a week-long business trip to Washington state. My grandma and Auntie & Uncle Larry from Ohio were in town (at Mom & Dad's) that week, too. I did okay that week....felt crappy, but the girls were GREAT for me!

We had a nice visit with our Ohio family. I wish we could've spent more time with them, though. We went up the first day they were in town & they came down to our house at the end of the week. The day I was up visiting them, I gave the flu to Steven! He was out of work for a week with the flu & tonsilitis! I felt bad about that! Paige, Taite & GG

At the end of that week, I got a horrible, horrible call from Lewis' mom. His sister, Gyn lost her baby, just 3 weeks before her due date. It was unexpected and a terrible tragedy. Lewis flew straight from Washington to Dallas to be with his family. He came home that Saturday & we all drove up there for Aubrey Kate's funeral. It is a terrible loss for all of us. Please continue to keep Gyn & Chad in your prayers.

We came home, half-way through the week and slowly started to get back into our 'normal' routine. We did have a 'fun' event that following weekend. We went to see Sesame Street Live with Grandma & Grandpa. Both of the girls enjoyed it. It was really cute.

This might be the most still we've ever seen Paige!!

Fast forward to this past weekend. Taite ended up with a stomach bug! Ahhhh! We've already done the stomach bug this year. Didn't someone get the memo? I thought she had already 'paid her dues'! Luckily, it was short-lived. BUT, she did miss her 100 Day celebration at school yesterday! She was so bummed! This is the 2nd party she's missed this year due to illness. Kindergarten has been rough on her as far as illness this year! Argh! She's back at school today, so that's good news.

Maybe, just maybe, things will be getting back to "normal" soon. Or, does that exist in our world? Maybe not. But, I just like my routine and that's what we need to get back to!


Lewis & my 9th anniversary is on the 19th. Mom & Dad are watching the girls for us overnight on Saturday. We're going to go have some fondue at The Melting Pot up at the Woodlands and stay overnight up there. We're looking forward to a little mini-get-away.


So, that's the latest craziness with us. I wanted to also post a few more pictures. When we were up at Mom & Dad's, we found some of my old gymnastics recital leotards. I probably wore them when I was in about 1st grade. They fit Taite perfectly. The girls had fun playing dress-up in them. Too cute!
