The house of sickness

The one thing I didn't fully realize with having 4 children. When one gets sick you are in for a long haul. This was our first go around with a nasty flu and 4 children. Needless to say I'm tired of checking temperatures and administering medicine. My counter looks like a drug store. : ) We have had fevers and coughing for almost 2 weeks. Just yesterday the fevers stopped and I'm SO THANKFUL!!!!!! It's a small price to pay for the joy of having 4 children. But one of those yucky things I never really thought about. The Lord is indeed shining on me because we are all feeling better just in time to go to the beach. HOORAY!!!!!

Enjoying the last of the cold weather...and quilts

We are loving this blast of cold weather. I put a fire in the fireplace last night. Then sat and read books with Kate and Kiley. Then they were cold so we pulled out some quilts made by their Great Grandmother and cuddled in on the couch. Not sure we will have many more of these nights so I wanted to capture them. Can't imagine what we would do without those cozy quilts. Thanks Grams!!!!!!
