Before and After

As many know, our household has been struck with illness that has been passed back and forth between Chris and I. So when the doctors ordered rest, I suddenly have all this time on my hands and it is driving me crazy (so I decided to update the blog). I have also advanced to figuring out this slide show thing and I love it!!

Before we were sick, Chris and I were able to enjoy a trip up to my parent's country getaway. We were able to relax, fish, go 4-wheeling and make marshmallows with my niece.



We spent New Year's Eve at home. I made dinner & dessert and then we crashed (not making it to midnight of course). We have a huge firework show right in our backyard, so we were awakened to the loud boom of the show and were able to ring in the New Year after a brief nap!! I know we are boring, but midnight is hard to make it to!!!

Soon afterwards Chris got sick, then I did. Luckily, we are not too far behind on baby stuff. These past 2 weeks have really kept us down. I am happy to report Chris is better and as of today I am starting to feel better. There is so much that I should be doing around here, but per my doctor rest is the only thing I better be doing. Our cats are loving us being at home sleeping all the time, so below is a view of what the entire household has been up to!!
We hope 2008 turns out better than it has started. 6 days off work, 3 rounds of antibiotics, 2 liters of IV fluids, 1 round of steroids and 1 hospital visit between Chris and I should do it. Kinda like our own version of the 12 days of Christmas!! Overall, we hope to rejoin our normal lives soon, we miss all our friends!!! Especially our super cool Sunday School class!!!
