Sick once again

I hope the icky-ness is gone now for good! When we got back from Atlanta, late the next week Sarah started running a fever of 103 and just being really lethargic. A few days later, I took her to the doctor and she had pneumonia. We started her on some heavy-duty antibiotics (because her doctor knows how sick she really gets) and she was doing better in about 24 hours.

Saturday, I got sick. I hate throwing up. It only lasted about 5 hours and then I went to bed and woke up fine on Sunday morning.

Sarah woke up at 4am throwing up yesterday morning. She got sick until about 9:30, and then didn't get sick again. She even felt well enough to eat tacos for dinner last night!

I have been busy disinfecting everything and we are hoping no one else gets it!

Long update and Misc Pictures

I can't believe it's been six weeks since I updated the blog. It has been a crazy 6 weeks.

We had Joshua's birthday party on Dec 12. He had a sleepover. Then on the 17th we had a family party for him on his real birthday. Here are a few pics from those.






For Christmas, we went to Denver. We had a wonderful visit with all of our family. We drove out there Christmas Eve and left Saturday afternoon to drive to Omaha. We spent the night there, and Sunday (the 28th) we drove to Des Moines to celebrate Christmas with Jason's family. We left our camera in the hotel the whole time, so I am waiting on pictures from other family members who took some. It was a long drive for a short trip, but the kids did great, and we got to see everyone.

The week of Christmas, we had a tornado come through! It wasn't big, but didn't cause a lot of damage, but we had over $10,000 worth of damage. It flattened our gazebo, blew shingles off the roof, and started pulling the siding away from our house. The neighbor next door, his r

I had found out the beginning of December that my Grandfather had cancer, and learned later it was in his lungs, lymph nodes, and spine. New Years Day he was hospitalized and wasn't doing well, so Saturday the 3rd, I drove to Atlanta (I was unable to get a flight out). Poppy died Tuesday, January 6. Jason brought the kids down for the funeral and got in around midnight Thursday night. We drove home Sunday the 11th. So in 2 1/2 weeks, we drove over 3500 miles, not including the driving around KC too. It was a really sad time, but it was wonderful to see family I haven't seen in close to 20 years, and to spend time with everyone.

The boys are both doing extremely well in school. They both have mostly 3's (exceeds expectations) on their report cards. They both are enjoying their time with their friends as well. It is hard to believe that this year is already half over.

Here are a few other pictures.
