Catch-Up Part One: June 15th - 26th

We knew life would be busy with two kids, but I think that this first month has been exceptional!  Here's a glimpse at what the Jackson's have been up to...
 Here Natalie is posing with Evie after giving her a bath.  She was a little disappointed that a "bath" meant toweling her off on the floor.  She wants to know when she will be able to get in the big tub with her!
 It has been nice, hot summer weather and we've been home.  So Dad got the pool set up for Nat and we all enjoyed dipping our toes in.
 This is fondly called the "caboose" by Natalie.  She loves that she can ride along with Evie and sit or stand.  So far we've just had some nice walks around the neighborhood.
 One of our first outings was on the 18th...  We snuck over to the Robert's house, brought lunch, and used the pool!
 A nice snoozing pic while laying on Mom (who is also sleeping!).
 Hanging out with Ally...
 Meeting Greg........
Going to have to fight Natalie for "the boys" as she calls them!  Here Evie is with Jacob.
 Yes, this is in the correct order......  On the 21st Evie went to the pediatrician because she had been lethargic and not eating well.  She had dropped weight, down to 6 pounds, and was just not herself.  At Toledo Hospital they did all sorts of tests and determined that she had viral meningitis.  This meant a stay in the hospital until she perked up and was eating well again.  This also meant that Mom got to stay at the hospital round the clock while Dad bounced around from home to the hospital.  Thanks to all of our friends that helped take care of Natalie during these days!
Here Evie was on the 23rd.  She was getting most of her nutrients from her IV and definitely not perky yet.
Finally, on the 24th she was cleared to go home.  It was a really long weekend and everyone was ready to get the family back together.  The good news is that there are no problems expected from her being sick, it was just bad luck that she got this bug when she was so little.
