Plodding Along

We've been absent. Yep. Blame it on sickness. After grandpa left us, everyone came down with something. Rachel had the snotty head cold, Charlie another ear infection, Stephen had some viral thing that we think may have been the flu and I got the flu for sure. Christmas was kind of a bummer this year. We've also been holed up in this house because the weather has been terrible. So, needless to say, we're tired of being sick (and tired). Unfortunately, things are still not completely better. Charlie went back to the pediatrician today and has an ear infection in both ears. Rachel has a fever and her runny nose and eyes are back. Sigh. Is it summer yet? Here are some pictures from Christmas morning. The kids did love to open gifts. Rachel really knew what to do this year. Charlie just liked to eat the paper.

I hope 2013 brings wellness and energy. Lord knows the 3 cups of coffee just aren't doing it anymore!
