Love, Love

Just ordered this from Sparkle Power on Etsy. I'm thinking this will go perfect with the Valentine decor that will be making an appearance in the near future. Love it. Can't you just picture it framed and on a mantle or entry table!! Next to a giant clear jar of red beads or hearts, of course. Love.

We are in the midst of giving extra snuggles and love around here. We started the year off with a bang this year. Grace had a fever of 101 by midnight, Maddie followed within an hour, and Caleb followed the next day. Three kids, three horrible fevers/colds, and some long nights followed. I loathe the flu. Yesterday we spent most of the day at the pediatrician who wouldn't allow us to leave until we could get Grace's fever below 103. Caleb and Maddie seem to be on the mend, and poor Grace is getting there. I really don't enjoy fevers. The whole unpredictability of them scares me. Give me a good old head cold anyday over a fever.

The good news.....for me. I have somehow by the skin of my teeth avoided this virus. Me, the girl who a year ago walked into the same room as someone with a cold, and was sick within a day. Let's hear it for vitamins and eating healthy. Poor daddy was taken down yesterday as well. So, I am the crazy motrin/tylenol/medicine giver mixed with "liquid enforcer" and a LOT of antibacterial wiping for good measure. This house is one big germ, and my little immune system is putting up a fight. I guess I do have one after all.....
