My Turn

Unfortunately, I have not remained strong.  Despite my best intentions, yesterday I succumbed to the previous five days of being sneezed on, coughed on, snotted on, and layed upon.  It's now my turn to be sick.  :(  On the plus side, though David and Ana are over their sickness and I think Abby might be just about over it too.  I am on day two of the fever.  And sadly, Aaron is starting to feel sick today as well.  He usually doesn't get it, but hopefully he can just have a milder version of feeling a bit yucky and not get the full blown fever with it. 

So this whole week of sickness has put some kinks in our weekly plans.  This week, we have cancelled:  a dinner with friends, horn lessons, choir for David, a play date for Ana, a shopping trip for me, the rescheduled dinner with friends, and a roller skating night for homeschoolers. 

I had big plans of getting lots of things done today and tomorrow, but I guess it will have to wait.  I was hoping to finish up my stairwell this weekend, but it may have to wait until next weekend.  I did get in a very lovely nap yesterday.  That was nice.  So that may be the only thing I accomplish this weekend - naps. 

So until I have something more exciting to post, I think I'll stop now.  Hope everyone else stays healthy!

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no long...

Triplets Nine Years Apart

Aaron and I always comment that by looking at one of our girls, you've seen them all. Apparently, I had triplets nine years apart. Below are 20 different pictures of the girls at similar ages. See if you can figure out who is who. I tried to find pictures without obvious clues in the background (siblings, house changes, etc.), though if you look really closely and know us well you'll be able to pick up a few giveaways.

New Tummy Shot and Tooth Trials

Image
I took this picture yesterday before church - I'm almost 19 weeks here - definitely looking pregnant. Aaron finally felt the baby move last night.  It made him happy.  I had been able to feel it from the outside for several weeks now, but every time I tried to get Aaron's hand there, the baby would stop kicking.  I'm enjoying feeling good again and having a little more energy - though I do get more tired out sooner than I used to.  I guess that goes with the territory.  Next week is our ultrasound appointment.  We decided that we are going to find out what we are having!!!  I'm super excited about this! Yesterday, right as church was ending, David took a nasty fall at church.  Somehow, the only thing he managed to hurt was his lips and one front tooth. It appeared that his single tooth took the entire fall.  He cracked it vertically from top to bottom, and then along the gum line was another crack running horizontally.  S...
