here we go again...

sick. again.

 bless his little heart. so exhausted after little brother kept him up most of the night. he took a car nap, a couch nap, and fell asleep within minutes for his afternoon nap...now if only little brother could get the sleep memo!!

 outside sanity break. hate it when they are sick :/ but love rainy weather. perfect for cuddles and kisses.

a most beautiful moment of silence. after a long (wakeful night for lucas...and everyone else) and a fussy morning.

my top two reasons why sickness stinks.

1. lucas does.not.sleep. good at all! hence the rest of the house doesn't sleep good either.
2. caleb rarely has just a simple cold...he ends up on breathing treatments.

and my number one pet peeve regarding sickness?
moms that bring sick children over to play dates, or inside to activities with healthy children. if there is a snotty nose child you can guarantee lucas will catch their cold, give it to caleb, and then it's the Merry go sick round of breathing treatments and sleepless nights.

winter germs stink big!

we'll be doing a lot of...
cuddles. kisses. wiping little noses. misting up rooms with humidifiers. tissues. holding. and not sleeping....

until we're all healthy again.



one thing rings true everytime the boys are sick...as stressful as it may be, the love I have for Dave grows big. He is an amazing husband and father all of the time, but he really shines in the times it feels as though the plate is being pulled out from under us! i'm glad we have each other to go through the day to day with. the ups and downs are all worth it with him by my side.



I may need hot showers, long walks, morning runs, husband love, baby kisses, and lots of prayer to get me through harder days, but that's all right. After all, the rainbow always comes after the rainstorm.




Happy almost Friday :)
