New Years 2003-ER in Yuma with Ethan having an asthma attack
New Years 2005-Stomach flu in the dunes (no one will eat spaghetti when we camp to this day.)
New Years 2006-Chicken Pox Garrett and Wade.
New Years 2008-Strep Throat everyone...one by one...all vacation long.
I have decided that this is nature's way of making sure we don't get too comfortable with where we're at and remind us not to be superstitious! I am reminded that no what the new year inevitably brings, it can't be worse that the day the year started. I love being kept humble :-)
Christmas has come and gone and with it I hope to have gained a renewed determination to actually maintain and use this blog. Thank you so much the few of you that have visited already. I have to say I love hearing from you and appreciated the comments. I also loved hearing from everyone with their Christmas letters and hearing what everyone is up to.
School starts again tomorrow. We haven't even done anything fun with the sickness and all. I have decided that one day in the next couple of weeks I am going to pull them all out of school and we are going to play hooky and do something fun-the zoo, science center, whatever. I am going to miss have them all around and I am going to miss the absolute lack of schedule. Nothing makes me happier than not having to be somewhere at a particular time.
I will post a couple pictures of the ridiculous bump that was mentioned in my letter-it deserves the public recognition since he still has black eyes from it.
Will write again soon!
