A Little 'Catch You Up' Action

What's been new here? We've been a bunch of sickies! In the last month, we've had stomach flu, unexplained high fevers, Whooping Cough, and possible lead poisoning! Can I just say, I'm incredibly tired of being sick?!?! I can't explain it... I'm anal when it comes to hand washing and cleaning, especially in the bathroom and kitchen and yet if there is a bug within 100 km's of our house, we will catch it! I can understand if we had kids in school or day care, but it's mostly just us! Whatever... We're all on the mend now, with the exception of the lead stuff, so I'm going to put my mind into keeping us healthy! It's too nice out to be sick and stuck inside.
Speaking of too nice to be inside, it was 24 degrees Celsius today! The kids and I spent a huge portion of the day outside, starting with the park this morning... A slideshow for you:

I also just wanted to ask for prayer for a couple that Trev & I know... The Andersons. They've had a very rough couple of years, especially regarding having babies, and their lives got so much more difficult last week when they lost the baby Renee was carrying at 35 weeks. I don't know any other details, but I know that they need prayer. I haven't been able to get them out of my mind since finding out on Saturday. My heart is absolutely broken for them. I know how much my heart hurts when my kids get sick, but to lose a baby that you've fought so hard to have and prayed so hard for is completely outside my realm of understanding. May You hold them close to You, Lord. Please give them peace. Please let them feel You in a tangible way. Be their comfort and their guides and Lord, give them joy in the morning. Amen.

Glad you guys are on the mend Beckie! What's the scoop with the lead poisoning? How does that get treated? Do you know where you got it (or is it the boys)? Hope it's all cleared up really soon. Thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous day today here too...not looking forward to the supposed snow Wed-Fri though:(...at least it's warm enough it'll just disappear.

Loved the comments on the pictures:)...can't wait to see the new tattoo! Trev would have done just fine with a girl, but I'm sure he'll have a blast with his boys:) ...only indoor heights? OK, I'll let you go, but I proved I retained it:) Love you!

PS.Praying for the Andersons

Hmmm I left a comment yesterday...does that mean that you didn't approve it :(

Just in case it didn't go through I said....I also like the comments/tidbits of info about the family...very entertaining.

Oh and I also said that I am curious to see how BM works into a tattoo....:)
