The Bug Bit Us Again

i actually have a real reason for not posting in so long this time: we have had the tummy bug at our house...AGAIN! i don't know why, but if it is out there, we're gonna catch it. so, needless to say i've been more than a little busy.

it started with me, i'm sorry to say. wouldn't you know that we wait to catch these things until michael is out of town. so there i am, sick as a dog and the boys are running around the house while their mama is green. poor boys, but they were angels that day. it was like they knew that they had no other choice but to be perfect. finally i got to the point that i could sip some sprite that my sweet sister had brought to me when she got done teaching and was beginning to feel better. michael flew in just in time to help put the boys to bed, and about an hour after they went to sleep they were BOTH very very sick. ick. i have to say that i am in complete awe of single parents. i couldn't have done it without michael!

but those poor sweet boys just can't seem to shake this thing. we're sticking to a pretty bland diet, and forcing the pedialyte down them. it hasn't been much fun around our house these days. so, i decided to post a few pictures of our recent trip to the park with our best buddies when everyone was happier and feeling great. aren't the hats too cute!? i love 'em! they were a 1st birthday present from uncle dan, who is doing his part to instill a love of the bass pro shops in his nephews!
the boys with paisley...they think she's so cool!ben climbing up the slidewith their buddy brax, who they love to play with! they've been the three amigos since they were just weeks old.

and here are a few random shots of us just being silly together at home. what cheeseballs!

thanks for checking in on us! happy thursday, everyone!!!
