The Plague

Yep....It has hit our home! We can't seem to get all of us well at the same time! I hear February will be the hardest hit for the cold and flu season but come on already! In the past 3 weeks, I went to Urgent Care and was taken by ambulance to the ER for an allergic reaction to something that we have no idea what it was! Adam has had the flu, Shaylee has had the flu, a cold, and a double ear infection, plus her exzema has been real bad, Savannah has had a cold and a high fever from her immunizations, and Nathan has had the flu and an ear infection that won't go away and thrush (fun for mom too)! IN JUST 3 WEEKS!!!! Crazy! It could be worse I guess....we haven't had RSV or pneumonia like many in our ward.

Things are going good here other than illness. We celebrated Savannah's 2nd birthday at the park with her aunts and cousins. Adam and I went on our 1st date in.....how long???? (for V-Day, thank you Skyler for babysitting!) Shaylee took her 1st karate class yesterday. We were worried that she wouldn't do well with Daddy as her instructor. But she LOVED it and did great! She was beaming the whole class! She grew up watching classes and never being allowed on the floor, so she just ate it up that she was old enough to participate finally. Savannah screamed the entire class...she didn't understand why Shaylee was allowed on the mats and not her. Nathan is almost crawling finally! I have thought he was going to for a couple of months now. He kind of army crawls....sort of....He is so fun!

Hope you all had a fabulous Valentine's Day! Stay well and happy!

Why do we live in AZ?????

I have no idea what the draw to Arizona is! You get 85 degree weather in February and it doesn't end until Thanksgiving! You get horrible allergies at least twice a year.....The things I do for my husband! I'm only part serious. Back in July, we moved our karate school as you will all remember....at that time, Adam broke THREE mirrors! We have had nothing but bad luck since then. Our school is losing students like crazy because of the economy and jobs lost, we keep racking up medical bills, and it just keeps coming and coming..... Seriously, I know we are so blessed. We have a great business, a beautiful home in a safe, clean neighborhood....WE ARE SO LUCKY. Many of our friends have had to walk away from their homes..it is so sad.

The kids are doing fabulous! Shaylee thrives in preschool and Savannah is loving beign able to play outside on the swingset. Nathan is growing up so fast! He will be 7 months next week and Savannah will be 2 that week as well! It goes soooooo fast! Adam is going crazy trying to draw new students into the school and I am going crazy with 3 little ones! But life is still good. It is amazing the peace that faith and the gospel brings!
