on our way up, fingers crossed.

i had mentioned a while ago that after christmas we all caught a nasty bug.   influenza to be exact.   we've basically been in quarantine.  

(bummer, she caught me trying to take some sleepy pics)

the dr told me that one of the complications with this strain of influenza, along with extreme fevers & body aches, is that it seems to settle in your chest easily. 

so when the pediatrician told us that all three kids have pneumonia (along with ear infections) tears filled my eyes.   we're slowly but surely on our way to feeling better, for today!

its only january but we sure are looking forward to some warm spring days to open up the windows, air out the sickness, and feel some sun on our cheeks.  soon:)
