Were you wondering? Well, I'll tell you anyway...

My goodness, I cannot believe that it's been almost a week since I posted last, but to be quite honest, not much has happened around here. Jason loves his new job and is already doing great--Praise the Lord! We don't see as much of him during the day since he's busy with appointments, but he doesn't have to work late nights with this job, so that's great! There were many nights that I didn't see him until midnight when he was working for Sears, so the kids really enjoy being able to tell their daddy "good night" at bedtime instead of at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. =)

Today is the first day that all 3 girls have felt up to getting up off of the couch. Yesterday was quite miserable for Sydney. She started complaining of her ear hurting, and I just knew for sure she would end up with an ear infection (she's notorious for that). I put some over-the-counter ear drops in her ear, gave her some ibuprofen and told her to go to sleep. After much crying and moaning, she finally was able to go to sleep, and BOY did she sleep! She fell asleep in the 2 o'clock hour, and I had to wake her up close to 6 o'clock so she could eat something before she needed to go to bed.

Just about the only thing I enjoy about my kids being sick is the fact that they become much more cuddly. Alyx took this picture of Sydney resting on my lap. Isn't she precious? =)


Poor thing! She ran a fever for several days, and in this picture she woke up from a nap drenched in sweat. She's attempting a half smile--what a sweetie. It looks like she had been crying, but I think her eyes were just watering. She looks pitiful nonetheless.


Thank you for those of you who prayed for them. They seem to be doing much better today. They still have their coughs and sniffles, but I haven't heard any complaints about earaches and they've been up playing around, so they must be feeling somewhat better. =) I've been popping the vitamin C like crazy in an effort to keep myself from getting sick. My throat has been sore for several days, and I just CAN'T get sick! Please pray that it will just clear up so that we can get out of this house. I'm going a little stir-crazy! =}
