Kiddies and Sickies!

It's not usual that our girlies are sick. With Nataleigh it has happened once or twice a year. Monday night Nat woke at 10pm which is not normal and she was burning up. Sure enough she had a fever-gave her Motrin and she slept all night and woke early and was burning up again. This time she said her throat hurt-yippie! Anyhow-we did not give her anything for pain and let her body run it's course. I was a little nervous because I didn't want her to be in pain but I knew this would be better for her in the long run. We are really trying to live by "You are what you eat" and tried our best to go by this. So how did we do it?
-Gave her one of our probiotics in her yogurt (2x)
-She ate eggs, drank our homemade carrot/apple juice, applesauce, a few bites of organic free-range chicken and sweet potatoes and a banana.
-Drank TONS of water.
-Let her rest and sleep all day
-Put a humidifier in her room
-Gave her some of my pumped breastmilk (so high in the antibodies she needs to fight whatever she has)

At dinner her fever had gone down 1 degree. When it was time for bed she barely had a fever. She slept all night and woke up this morning ready to go! Fever free and almost back to 100%! We did take it easy today and continue to feed her the same things.

Chris and I have done Jordan Rubin's Maker's Diet and try to follow it as much as possible (just too expensive right now for us). We were so thrilled to find out he wrote a children's book and we have been reading that! It's called Great Physician's RX for Children's Health.
We look forward to the day when we can 100% live by these principles. Until then we are doing the best we can and trying to honor God with our bodies.

Spring Is Here!

Yay for Spring!!! This weather has been AWESOME ever since we arrived back from our 9 day trip to Indiana to visit family! I'm really behind in my blogging due to being gone. The girls are getting so big I can't believe it!! ;)
Anyway, the title of this blog-Spring is HERE!!! We spent a lot of time outside last week and went to the park on our family day! This is the park that burned down last fall and was rebuilt! It's wonderful and Mia LOVED the swing for the first time!! Nataleigh HATED the swings! I love this park because the ground is a rubber material that Mia can freely crawl around and can't get too much in her mouth! ;) She puts everything in her mouth right now! I can't tell you how many bird feathers she probably swallowed at my parent's house from their pet bird, Promise! ;)
I will be blogging more now that we are settled back in!-And a blog post about our little family trip! ;)



This could almost have been submitted to Funniest Home Videos---watch closely at the end when Nataleigh runs into the swing and almost falls down...
