The Flu Strikes

As I am dealing with two sick boys I am posting this picture as a reminder of how my days usually are. I love having two very happy and smiley boys in my life... However the flu has struck my cute 3 year old and wiped him out. I have chatted with my hubby on the fone and he has a cold. Yikes... I have become a handwashing fanatic...trying to protect myself and the unborn baby the best I can. I am praying to God that we will be spared. So we missed preschool and picture day...which I was sorry about...would have loved to have the first little school picture to commerate our preschooler...even as cheesy as many of the pictures are.

The House

So I was waiting until the house looked all put together and all cleaned up before I really took pictures to share; but since I realize that may take quite some time, I thought I would share some pictures now. I also thought I would make the effort to take some pics with my nice camera, but in an effort to get it done...here are some with the point and shoot. [*note..my house is currently NOT this clean...!]

6 Years

I am so happy to have enjoyed 6 wonderful years with my husband and our growing family. We took Derick to his Grandma's house and enjoyed an evening out of dinner and a movie. It's funny how those dates seemed so commonplace once upon a time before kids, but now it is a treat to get to spend time together without insisting some little one sit still and eat their food. And to watch a movie that is not a cartoon was a treat as well. It has also been awhile since both of us were able to sleep until 8am! It was an enjoyable weekend and I look forward to the many wonderful years to come.
