Our turn

I've been feeling really lucky. A variety of illnesses have been going around the church and with our friends. It seems like someone has been sick for the last few months. The boys have had a cold here and there, but they have been pretty minor. Well, its our turn. Sam is ok for the most part. Saturday night he started with a bad cough. You wouldn't know anything was wrong just by looking at him. He has been playing and having a good time. Some friends started the same way and it turned into a nasty cold. We're hoping Sam will be spared, but he had a really rough night last night. His cough woke him up around 4am and he was up for a couple hours just coughing.

Ben is at the other end of the spectrum. While he also looks fine for the most part, as soon as you start thinking nothing is wrong, he throws up. He threw up half the night last night and this morning. He seems to be ok as long as he doesn't eat or drink ANYTHING! Even water wouldn't stay down. Lets pray he doesn't have much of an appetite today.

The boys had some fun pre-illness. We went to Chick Fil A last week for play group. Ben has finally conquered the slide. He's been afraid of it (although he wouldn't admit it) since day 1. Something finally clicked last week and he spent 2 hours going down the slide over and over again!

Saturday was Orens 3rd birthday party. It was during Sams nap time so I stayed home with him. Ben and dad had a great time. Ben did some bowling, ate cake and got some dinosaur favors to bring home. Happy birthday Oren.

Sam has rediscovered Bens "hard hat." He thinks its hilarious when it falls off his head.
