Making the Rounds

It seems like we’ve been battling illnesses for a couple of weeks in this house. I was lucky enough to start the ball rolling with my 3 days of stomach flu (food poisoning?). Abby took her turn on vacation – thankfully skipping the puking part. Elise decided she wanted in on the action at 4:00 this morning. Fabulous! Luckily for me, Nate had already planned a work-at-home day since I had an appointment this morning. It was nice to have him here to share the joy of taking care of a sick kid. We don’t really remember the last time that Elise was sick, but today has taught us that she is not good at it. She is quite possibly the whiniest, most demanding patient we have ever met. Fortunately for her, we love her loads and we know that she has had a miserable day. That helped us to be lots more patient with her grumpiness.

It looks like the fun might just keep on coming. Nate went to bed early because he was “not feeling so hot.” I guess it is my turn to take care of him.

Even sick and whiny kids look sweet when they are sleeping.

Poor thing! I hope you all get feeling better soon and even though Elise apparently isn't a fan of our boys we still love her tons! :)

Seriously, we need to synchronize our illnesses. I was so bummed that Zack and Austin didn’t get to come and play. We were looking forward to it. I’m glad you had a fun birthday anyway. I’m planning on watching them for your Maddox date when you get back from California. We had better be done with being sick by then!
