(please ignore the pillow--it's on my "to do" list)If you've been wondering why I have been MIA, why I haven't called you or returned your calls, or why you haven't seen me out and about, the reason is because my life virtually paused for the past week and a half as I took care of my sick little boys. Both of my kiddos have been fighting colds on and off since the first weekend in December--I remember because it was my birthday that weekend and we traveled to Cincinnati and came back sick. I really went into this winter excited about the cold weather and bundling up and snow...now, not so much.
The worst of it started about two weeks ago. Drew started throwing up on Tuesday, Ty started on Thursday, and Corey started on Saturday (I'm not kidding). On top of the stomach bug, both boys got severe colds and secondary ear infections...in both ears. It has been crazy over here! Aside from not getting much done around the house besides the basics--dishes and (some) laundry--Ty and Drew just haven't been themselves. It has been super quiet, few toys have been out, and there has been no playing, and, worst of all, no smiling (seriously, they have felt miserable). If you know us at all, you know this is not normal for our home! We are used to lots of energy, chatter, talking, laughing, singing, dancing, and playing, and we realized last night that we've missed it! For the first time in almost two weeks Ty sang during dinner, and Corey and I were so delighted to hear that little voice again! I've never been more thankful to see my kids smile again and play together. I have missed them!

that picture of drew is just too cute!! and do you need to bring that pillow over to my sewing machine to get repaired???
I'm sorry Janet that everyone has been sick. And I'm glad you're all on the mend and that the kiddos are smiling and playing. I'd love to catch up with you soon.
Oh, what a bummer...Tommy just came down with his first bad cold of the winter, and it's so awful to have little ones be sick and not understand what's going on... Get better soon, boys!
so sorry to hear that the boys (all three of them!) have been sick! were you able to escape the stomach bug? i hope so!!! Ty and Drew are still so cute, even when they are not feeling good! and they couldn't have a better mommy to take care of them. hope you're all on the upswing!
