New Years...

New Years.

We spent the afternoon at the park New Years eve.

 Getting out some wiggles and giggles.

 

 

 

Dave and I enjoyed a date night on New Years eve, while the boys stayed in with nana and papa...and then...sickness set in...again...the flu....this time it was my sister, she ended up at urgent care she got so sick (poor girl always has to get medicine to help her stop, i don't even want to say what) this all went down on new years day...my bday...we high tailed it out of there. my other sister got a cold...my dad (thought he got the flu too...not sure if it was more of a psychological thing). We planned on visiting cousins but they had strep and a fever and so basically we opted to head on home...we spent the afternoon driving  What a way to bring in the New Year. Poor lor. My mom tried to make my bday special...but we decided it would be best to leave sooner rather than later! A tough drive for C..and bedtime...and finally Dave and I enjoyed some relaxing once the boys went to bed. The best birthday gift was that Dave had another vacation day today :)

So, this Christmas and New Years and Bday? Well, trying to look on the positive side...We had a lovely day of health with D's family before everyone got sick and a lovely day with my family before sickness set in. Two lovely days...and then a lot of sickness. All I can say is I am ready for everyone to be healthy!!

 

In other news...family vacation with my sweet sensitive boy was tough this year....we ended up bringing him in for an EM (emergency) OT session today. Poor guy. It's been tough, he hasn't been having this hard of a time since pre-OT days. But that's another post for another day. We're home and getting back on track soon. I'm once again so grateful for Miss A (his occupational therapist) and so grateful we're helping him in the way that he needs to be helped. He's a rock star and we're so proud of him!

 

Lucas finally seems to be past rough teething (molars)

 

And everyone is back on track getting lots of sleep.

 

The best part of coming home from a vacation?

 

Everyone sleeps good!!
