What's been happening

I feel like I have been so out of touch when it comes to updating our blog.  Our days have been crazy lately and I feel like I haven't had a chance to catch my breath.  Two weeks ago the kids came down with Hand, Foot, & Mouth Virus.  It definitely threw us for a loop because we've been so healthy all winter.  I guess all good things must come to an end.  The virus started with Ryan, she passed it to Reese, who gave it Ryder.  It was a domino effect for sure.  We went to the Dr. on the 30th even though I knew what it was.  She confirmed my suspicion and gave us some tips on how to beat the virus.  She also gave Reese some antibiotics for a different infection that she was dealing with.  We've all been healthy for the past week but that last week in March left us with fevers, throwing up, and rashes.  Ugh.  No fun at all. 

Work has been crazy busy for Cory and I.  We count our blessings every day that we are able to provide for our family and stay busy in an economy where so many are unemployed, but it also can make for some stressful days.  Wednesday of this week Cory left the house at 6:30am and didn't come home until after 10pm.  We stopped by the office for about 10 minutes at 7pm so we could say hi to him before the kids went to bed.  Most days aren't that bad but this market is keeping us on our toes.  I feel like I'm on the never ending search for good babysitters that can watch our kids on short notice.  I had a brand new sitter lined up this past Friday and she no showed when I had an appointment at the office.  I had to take Ryder with me and then my mom ended up coming to pick him up after the Good Friday service at the girls' school.  Craziness. 

We've been having some fun days but I feel like I'm just trying to live in the moment and soak it up.  Easter is coming up and we have a fun weekend planned with the family.  I'm really excited to spend some time with the ones I love.
