shaving cream drawings

Wow, this week has been difficult. Thank goodness the papa doesn't have to work on the weekends and will be home to help take care of his family of sick-o's for the next two days. So, quick update, although not much has changed..

My oldest has been home from school all week and has kept us all up for several nights in a row with a horrible barking cough (at some point last night I lost compassion, put my pillow over my head and yelled in a muffled voice, "When is it ever going to end?? I just want to sleep!") We're going to have to suck it up and take him to the walk-in clinic in the morning. I always try to wait these things out and let sickness run it's course, but it's been a week and a half now and it seems to be getting worse. My sinus infection has morphed into the stomach flu and I spent most of my birthday yesterday throwing up. Awesome way to celebrate. Our little one mostly has a head cold with runny nose and cough now. Between him and I, we have gone through 2 boxes of tissues in two days. (One of the boxes was wrapped in rubber bands and turned into a guitar, for the boys' new band, "The ROCRS".. more on that later.) Our fevers, aches, and chills seems to be subsiding at least. We have no plans for this weekend other than to rest and continue healing. I am just so happy to have the panda here to help, it has been difficult trying to take care of the little birdies on my own while sick this week. I am sure many of you can relate, as it seems like the majority of people I know right now are battling with sickness themselves. I continue to pray healing and renewal over each of you.

Now onto a more fun and uplifting note!

My sweet and beautiful new friend Madeline at My boy and Me has tagged me in a game.

Here are the rules.. “Go into your photo archive, pick the 4th folder in the archive, select the 4th picture in the folder, and write about it. Then tag 4 other people to do the same”

Now, I have to warn you that my folders are a mess and in no particular order, so I knew that this would be interesting. But, here is what I found! It's a picture of my oldest making shaving cream drawings in the bathtub. This photo was taken about 2 years ago when we lived in Granville (also the residence of my beloved Amy Butler). Oh how I miss that sweet little village! It brought back so many memories. Someday in the future I'll have to post some more Granville Village pics.. you would all adore it! :)



Now, I guess I get to tag 4 of you. So.. I'm going to choose the last 4 friends who left comments on my blog (I'm sure you're all so happy that you did now. ha!)
