Illness has struck!!!!

This has been a rough month!!!! Someone has been sick every single week with the exception of last week. It actually started in Feb. and has just gotten worse with the last episode being with Natalie having bilateral ear infections and antibiotics---yuck. The week prior to that she had the stomach virus----double yuck, and Josh had a bad cold, and the week prior to that Ashley was sick with a cold. I honestly didn't sleep for about 3 weeks. It got so bad that our pastor saw us at church the day we took Natalie to the ER and she had a fever of 102, and was put on antibiotics, he called me on Tuesday to check on me. He's never done that before, but I honestly looked like death warmed over--worse than when I got back from Ethiopia!!!!! Then last week I had a tooth to break off and had to have a root canal....that was nothing compared to the weeks prior though. Today, we are all well, and I am just praying that nobody picked up anything at church yesterday or at Granny's house. Yesterday was Easter, and we had a wonderful day. Josh looked so handsome in his new suit, and Natalie and Ashley was so beautiful in their dresses. I'll try to post pictures of that very soon.

Natalie is gowing up so fast. She can cruise around furniture...what furniture she can reach that is. She is making new sounds every day it seems like. She's so much fun. At church yesterday, she was singing with the choir, but louder....and they were on microphones. She tried to preach the sermon with pastor Mike, but again, louder, and he too was on a microphone. Embarassing and funny. I love it. But when she was sick....not fun at all. She was not her normal fun-loving self. I'm so glad to have my happy girl back.

Josh finally lost a tooth---I say that because he's seemed to hang on to all those baby teeth for an exceptionally long time. Eddie had to pull it when I wasn't here. Oh, I can't take pulling teeth, I'll pass right out every time.

I haven't taken any photos lately, but here is some I took in March.
