Our family has a serious case of the sickies this week ~ teething, ear infections, stomach bugs, colds, and pneumonia (you can thank me now for not posting pix of max and his stomach bug!).  It’s been a crummy week in these parts, but I keep trying to focus on the positive. At least we are (hopefully) getting all of this out of our systems before the holidays, AND it least none of it is so serious that any of my children are in the hospital. We are all resting and mending at home. Thank goodness for snow days!  Here’s another silver lining to the sickies:  lots of cuddling!
