Our Quiet, Boring Lives

As promised, I'm updating soon. Things here are still relatively quiet. However, we have been fighting another round of Strep in our home this past week. Lauren started last week, and then by Saturday Ella woke up with a high fever and the Scarletina rash. Poor baby, she was miserable. Tess has had a nasty cough, but her culture was negative for strep. Zach woke up yesterday morning with a horrible sore throat and bad headache. You guessed it...he's got it! Some luck we have, huh? It seems as though we have battled more sickness since moving here than any other time in our lives. I guess it's all the kids around here......kids, kids and more kids everywhere you turn.

Last evening I went with my neighbors Heidi and Paige to a "Purse Party". One of Heidi's co-workers was having the party and Paige and I just tagged along. It was a lot of fun. Lots of cute purses, wallets, and jewelry. I found something cute to wear on the chain that Brian got me for Christmas. I had to control the urge to buy more....but there will be more parties I'm sure. Lauren and Tess were a little disappointed that I wouldn't take them, but this was a Mommy's Night Out. Brian was finished with his class by the time I left, so it worked out perfectly.

I am amazed at how much Ella and Zach have been goofing off while I have been on the computer. They were being naughty, but I had to take a photo moment. Ella was giggling and having a great time. Zach was launching her onto our bed and she was having a blast. At one point (after she managed to climb to the top of the headboard) she was trying to convince Zach to lay on the bed right under her so that she could jump on him. "It won't huut Zach, I pwomise" she kept saying over and over, and he was dying laughing. He's feeling better now, besides the adverse side-effect of the antibiotic. He's not comfortable going to school with that going on, and I really don't blame him.

I had better go for now and actually get something accomplished around the house. I'll update again as soon as I get a chance

Love to all - Kim
