Sick Snuggles

There is pretty much nothing wonderful about having a sick family except the great cuddles! I feel like I've been living in the land of the ill... (reason for lack of posting) There has been constant sickness in our house since before Easter. Easter day was the worst! None of us went to church but instead spent the entire day curled on the couch with the flu. We had to cancel plans with both sides of the family and shut ourselves indoors. I took both kids to the doctor yesterday for ear infections and Bronchitis, Yuck! Hopefully just another couple days and we'll be back to normal. I've completely been relying on Christ to sustain me the past few weeks and I think there is finally an end in sight. Here is a snapshot of those sweet sweet snuggles.

Note to Self

Even if you think the bag of cheerios is out of reach, kids have a way of getting to anything. I remember a friend telling me once how her son scaled the shelves of an eight foot pantry to find a treat he'd never seen before. Eleanor didn't really have to climb unless you count swinging a leg onto the couch...

Uncle Scot

A couple weeks ago my brother Scot came for a visit from Florida. We were thrilled he was coming since at Christmas it had been a year since he was last here. With Josh on second shift our little family even headed out to the airport to greet him. Most anyone with a little boy will know that the airport is a really cool place to visit! It always takes a short time for them to warm up to Scot but when they do neither want to let him out of sight. Even now two weeks after he left Eleanor still says his name every time we pull into my mom's driveway.

So far Jack has not showed much serious interest in sports, granted he his only 3 1/2. For those of you who know him, he is our little science guy. Jack loves to figure things out and always asks how things work...until now. Scot brought his skateboard home and Jack just thought it was the coolest thing ever. In the picture below he had just done a "trick" and the board accidentally went flying through the air. Ellie looked at me with her mouth wide open and you can see for yourselves Jack's reaction.

It was great to see you Scot! Come home again soon.
