Longing for the Good Old Days

I have finally succumbed to sickness! Somehow I made it through a winter of taking care of sick kids and I've hardly been sick. But now I've got strep throat. Christian spiked a fever tonight and he's got it too. I'm sure of it, even though we didn't see the doctor! Every time he's ever complained of a sore throat it's been strep. Thankfully the pediatrician called in a prescription for Christian and I've got one too! I hope we're feeling better by tomorrow. Christian slept all afternoon, so now he's wide awake and is watching Caillou. I can't handle one more minute of Caillou (have you ever noticed how whiny his voice is?), so that's why I'm blogging! Ryan just got home from a grocery store run. We can't run out of orange juice because that's the only way Christian will take medicine. So we're back to the ridiculous bribes to get him to take his medicine. Whatever it takes! Our little cousin Zavier spent the day in the hospital with breathing issues. He's home now, but still wheezing terribly. So pray for him, he's not even a year old yet! I hate it that this blog is turning into a journal of all our medical issues, but I guess that's just where we are in life right now. Sorry it's so depressing! Not to worry, pretty soon I'll be posting about sprinklers, bubbles, wading in the creek, lots of bare foot feet, days that don't require coats, bike riding adventures, swinging and a little girl toddling around the yard! Oh I can't wait! Here's a little flashback from the good 'ol days:
