Our Sick Family!

On Friday I was all excited to be able to post that we signed loan docs for our new home. After 3 months of stress, it was all coming to an end. YEA! HOWEVER, the stomach flu invaded our home and took all 5 of us as its victim. It started with Ashlyn on Thursday and she wasn't real bad so I didn't think much of it. Friday morning I became victim #2, Taylor was very soon after me, Andy joined later in the day, and Tyler finished it off. It turned into a really bad day. It was so sad to watch Taylor and Andy just lay on the floor with their eyes half open just wondering what the heck was going on. I got really nervous when Tyler started to not feel well. He had been taking care of us all day (he was so great!) and I didn't know what we were going to do if he got sick also. I text messaged my mom telling her my concern and she responded that she was sending a little prayer our way. After reading her message I was able to function enough to take care of my sick baby. I am so grateful for that little blessing. We thought we were better today, just a little out of it and tired but Taylor was hit again on our way to Wrightwood IN THE CAR. Yeah our car stinks! We had to take apart her car seat and scrub it down.

I really hope everyone is better as we start our Christmas celebration tomorrow.

There are 2 positive things to this chaos if you can even believe it: #1 I have received lots of cuddle time from my 3 little loves, especially Andy. My girls take up a lot of my attention and I sometimes feel Andy gets a little neglected. On Friday after everyone went to bed, I kept him in the living room with me while he slept and just cuddled with him. He was one of the last ones to get sick so I wanted to make sure he was past it before I put him to bed. He was so cute! #2: I have NO appetite so I am not at all tempted to indulge in Christmas treats. For example: I have a bag of homemade cinnamon rolls from one of my talented cinnamon roll baker friends and I only had 1. Normally they would have all been gone by now. Maybe I will actually loose those last few pounds I have wanted to get rid of.

As for the loan docs we will sign tomorrow morning and will fund and record on Wednesday. Our builder is being so kind as to allow Santa to put up Taylor's trampoline in the new backyard tomorrow night. Too bad the real Santa doesn't really do it. Tyler will be calling for reinforcements so you may want to turn off your phones. =)

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
