The week started not so great...Gav was on call all last weekend. Monday morning brought a continuation of the no-good week...Christian came down with a flu-bug. bad news= he puked all day Monday. good news=it was only a 24 hour bug (acutally less than that). So having Monday's puking session messed up Tuesday as well...keeping him home from school and making up things missed on Monday. As icing on Tuesday's cake, it was POURING rain here. Which makes for crazy transports to various activities. Wednesday...Shane started complaining of being cold...and he wanted to come home early from park day (NEITHER are normal). Despite my best efforts to medicate his persistant cough...it kept barking, more and more. Gav was again on call. Went to dinner...where Shane coughed so hard he gagged and puked (a FIRST for him...in fact, he didn't even know how to do it. He caught it in his hands and kept the rest in his cheeks until we helped it out=))By today (thursday) I figured out that he was cold because he had a fever with that horrid cough. Contrary to what that mom-voice in my head was saying ("its just a virus, just let it run its course.") I made a sick appt. with the pediatrician. And boy am I glad. Shane has a mild case of pneumonia. So...on Antibiotics he went. And will hopefully be feeling much better by the time we get on a plane heading to the snow. With 2 sick kids and all their activities that added up and got changed this week...I am so far behind being ready for a trip. Laundry? what's that? Oh the heaping pile of clothes that we need to take with us on our trip. Yep...pretty much...we've had one of those weeks. Where poop hit the fan...and we're still trying to dig ourselves out.
This was Monday's solution...no kid touching another...watching a movie to rest so I could do some dishes. You would think Shane was the sick one here...when it was Christian that couldn't hold anything in. Joel just wanted to be cool like his brothers=)

Hey little Joel is really cute and has gained some good weight.The rest of the boys are always handsome. We are looking forward to seeing you.
Joel is really starting to have his own look. I wish we could see him before he grows up too quickly.
Weeks like that are so tough. But at least you got that super cute picture of them all lounging together!
so cute! Joel is pretty darling!
Oh I just really enjoy weeks like that! ;) But, at least with weeks like that, the smallest achievement is the greatest accomplishment. At least that's what I tell myself.
They ARE the cutest boys though. I hope your travels are going smooth.
Christian it was fun to go to lunch together.... I really did not know you loved mint brownies. It looked like Shane's was not that good.
Your Dad and Mom's dessert looked awesome. Love you all. Take care of your brothers.
Shawna thanks again. It was so fun to be with all of you. Wished I had a little more time. Maybe next time.
