Here we go again

I think we've turned the corner on Finn's illness. We went through three pairs of pants yesterday but he started to eat a little bit and was drinking a lot more. He woke up this morning having soaked through his diaper, so I guess he is hydrated. He didn't have any dirty diapers today and ate ALL DAY long. Don't they say you can tell when a child is feeling better when they start eating? If that's the case, Finn is better! Ha, I still don't think he is 100%, but I'm hopeful that after 6 days he is well on his way to recovery.

However, now Jim is sick! Sheesh, I just can't catch a break. I guess I have a glimpse into what it would be like having three kids...however at least Jim can clean up after himself ;) Hopefully Jim won't be as sick as long as Finn was. And poor Auntie NaeNae! She came for a visit last night and had to sit here and listen to Jim puke all day today! Yuck. It was great having her here (she held Korri all day so I got a break!). She helped out a ton with Finn, too, in addition to coloring and cutting my hair. Man, she is a busy woman. The only problem was that Finn kept calling her Becky...until he realized who he was talking to and then he corrected himself! He really does know and love you NaeNae!

Saturday, I had the honor of making a cake for my friend Laura's baby shower. I was really excited to get back into cake making and took the theme from their jungle nursery. I made a chocolate cake, then I thought it would be fun to make a taller cake, so I made a white cake, too. I then alternately layered them with a raspberry cream filling in between. It was so tall that it just barely fit in my cake taker (luckily it did and next time, I would cut a little extra off to ensure it does fit!). Here is the final result:

The shower was a ton of fun. Laura is my oldest friend (we went to kindergarten together) so it was fun to help celebrate the up coming birth of her first child. She got lots of great stuff, which is always fun to see. Oh, and I brought Korri along because I knew she'd need to eat while I was there and she was the bell of the ball! And she was a prefect little lady the entire time (I told everybody to come over at 2am if they want to see a different baby!).
