two men standing

Today Sophie and Isabelle came down with “the sickness”.

Chris got sick on Saturday. Jude got sick Thursday and Shepherd on Friday.

Before that it was Vivi. And then Dalton.

That leaves only two men standing.

Asher and me… hoping and praying we don’t get sick.

It hasn’t been a miserable winter, though. In fact we’ve had much much worse. Considering it’s our first winter here, I should really be jumping for joy… we’ve only racked up one sick child visit, and that was right after Vivi came home and she was feeling so poorly.

Turns out she probably is the little booger who started this whole thing.

With her cute little sneeze. And her adorable little cough.

I think we’ll manage to forgive her. Somehow.

Here’s a little clip I took of her on the red bench, during our Sunday Snapshot ‘shoot’.

Enjoy the cuteness πŸ™‚

    How do you do it? How in the world to you keep yourself from gobbling that little girly up? She is just nothing short of a big ol' (ok, itty bitty) blessing straight from the Lord! Her little smile makes my heart joyful!

    So sorry you've got a bug going around your house. But it's nice that Vivi is learning to share! πŸ˜‰

    And so sorry to hear of all the sickness, we have been "sharing" Strep and a tad of Scarlett Fever….the not-so-fun side of large families, huh?

    I am so sorry everyone is sick. We can certainly empathize. Harry had strep, then Harry had the stomach bug. Now Will has croup and cannot breathe. So, I hear ya!
