We had booked a lane to go bowling (ten pin bowling as the say here) for 1 pence per person. Not bad! Here we are in our stylin' shoes. The girls were so happy to have bowling shoes, the last time we went they didn't give them any. (Remember we went bowling the week before Addison was born? I was trying to induce labor. Ha.)
And as you can, tell Addison is not feeling well. I ended up at the doctor's office later that day.
We had an early lunch at The Pancake House. YUM. I won't lie, I could have eaten this whole thing on my own, but I didn't. We all shared a ham and cheese pancake (crepe) and this Nutella and banana one.
This part of city centre is new, just opened up. It's an indoor mall!!! There are a lot of empty stores but they say 30 shops will be moving in by Christmas. It was very nice. (See H&M? One of my favorite stores!)
This store was cool, I didn't go in but I loved their old sewing machines on display.
Christmas came early for the big girls. They got a new dollhouse! Since we will not be taking it to Texas, we let them have it early so they could get some good play time out of it. It was good timing since we've been home all week!
I'm not sure what is going on here, but it looks like the Princesses have turned their backs on the Cars.
And here is my sad baby, look at her skin! I could just cry. Her eczema is getting worse and I'm not sure what to do. I am going to try and get her in to the doctors' tomorrow or Monday. She is covered!
She is in her bed, awake, right now. It's 10:30pm. I'm not sure why she is awake, but I went in and got her and sat on my bed for a few minutes and cuddled her. I just loved it because sometimes I feel like she gets lost in the chaos during the day and I love one-on-one time with her. I just snapped this sweet picture of her in my arms. Do she look one bit tired?!? I think not. Oh Lord, could be a long night!
*We would greatly appreciate some prayers if you want to pray for us. Everyone (but me) has been ill and it's wearing us down. Plus, I'm upset about Addison's skin AND at her check-up this week she had dropped from the 98th percentile to the 75th and the health visitor was concerned. I was not initially upset because both the girls evened out around this age and were never big anyway. And, at almost 20 pounds and 8 months old I was thinking she was doing pretty good! Ha. But classic me, I get home and start worrying about it. Especially since she has not nursed or eaten well in a week because of her chest infection. We need the peace of God in our home this week. Thank you so much! (I know my mother-in-law is going to read this and be like what? I know, we haven't talked in a while and now Marc is sick, so maybe we can catch up this weekend!)

praying for you and your family, Charity!
Poor sweet Addison's skin! Bless her heart. I just laid my hands on her picture and asked God to heal and strengthen your whole family.
her eczema is crazy!! Have you tried claritin? I give Josh 1/2 tsp every night and it has kept his under control.
Poor Addison! Her skin just makes me sad for her. Does it seem like it bothers her? We will be praying for you all. I know that's rough.
p.s. H&M is one of my favorites as well. I'm a little jealous. :-)
You are right - WHAT?
I wanted to call y'all day before yesterday and the internet was out so no phone. Then got no response for you online yesterday and we were gone last night. We have been praying for you though - we always do but especially with the illnesses. Hopefully, I can catch up with you later today.
We love you all!

Hey Char..will be praying for you guys extra this weekend. Hope Addy's skin clears up and your house can heal up. Love you girl!
I'm jealous about the H&M store. I've never been to one but without fail, I'm always seeing stuff I like in magazines that is from there. They need a web store :(
Abigail leveled out once she got mobile. She was a big baby, but once the crawling started, she just got skinnier and skinnier. She's still skinny as a rail but eats like a horse! She'll eat ANYTHING and lots of it!
charity, i'm sorry i'm so bad about keeping up with blogs...i was catching up & after our conversation about the eczema the other day, i see your concern for addison's skin. i hope the new antibiotic helps.
ash will be 21 this week (can you believe it?) but i so remember the upset of those days... another thought i didn't mention - we ended up at the allergist pretty early. just a thought if it doesn't get better fairly soon.
