Don't think I saw you. Of course, you were hiding in your house. We were just at KSC on Wednesday, and I thought of you as my kids climbed in the play area. =) Nope. Don’t think I saw you.

Like I'm throwing the children to the lions when I take them to Sunday school. At least one will inevitably get sick within 24 hours and then the whole house will "share" it for the next week or two. The more kids we have, the more I long for spring each year! Amy,

We have a mutual friend, Donna P., who used to live in FL.

Sonya, Please give Donna a hug for me.

Praying everyone stays happy and healthy … how’s the little one doing?

Brea, Sorry I missed this. See my comment above. ;)

I've been to church twice since the baby was born, and both times, we caught a nasty virus. I don't think people realize what we have to go through when they go out in public with "just a little cold." The three youngest wake frequently in the middle of the night, often tag-teaming. Greg was out of town last week, and I counted about 3-4 hours of sleep in a 48 hour period. My daughter is barely 3-months-old, and it hurts my heart to hear her coughing so badly. I don't want to start a firestorm with this comment, but it's getting to the point where attending church is just not worth it at this season... Holly,

I think this was our third Sunday away from church due to illness. I think it would help to just write off the months of January and February. Plan to be in. Plan to be sick. Plan to never leave your home again and order Kleenex off of Amazon. Then...if it is better than that...we'll be pleasantly surprised. :) Oh, and…is your household better?
