T.G.I.F.

I know the phrase is 'Thank god it's Friday', but in my situation, I'm sooo glad that it's now February. January in our house just sucked!!!!!!!!! And boy did we go out with a bang. In the last week all of the boys were diagnosed with new ear infections, and the boogers continued to come. And if that wasn't bad enough, between Thursday and Friday they all got sick, and boy do I mean SICK! We're talking 104.5 degree temperatures, puking, diarrhea, diaper rashes, etc. Fortunately, Grandma Mary, Grandpa Ron and Aunt Kari came for a visit. As it turned out, it wasn't what any of us really had in mind (not much laughing, playing, and having fun), but there was a lot of snuggling and loving going on.

It's often said to me "I don't know how you do it when you're by yourself everyday." The truth is, I honestly don't know how I could have done it solo this weekend. Since it was a challenging month (croup, blood, snot, and 3 ear infections all before this difficult week even started), by this weekend I was mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted. For that, I am very appreciative to my in laws for coming up to help Craig and I.

This morning Grandpa Ron called to check on the boys. Daddy gave the phone to Connor, who was very happy to hear his grandpa's voice. I want to include this picture, to give Grandpa Ron and Grandma Mary peace of mind, since they didn't see any smiles this past weekend. All the boys are definitely on the road to recovery!
