This one should have been posted a month ago

Yep…behind again. The good news is that we’ve been sick for over a month now so there hasn’t been much to update. The bad news is that we’ve been sick for over a month now and to put it mildly, we’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. And just when I think I’m ready to turn to the pages of facebook to complain of my circumstances, I read about someone with real problems….and then I’m reminded that sick kids and sleepless nights are a mother’s privilege.

Another privilege…seeing these sweet cousins together…

A few weeks ago, we got to spend a weekend with the Virgina cousins in Athens while the boys went quail hunting. For two whole nights, we enjoyed five kids under five. Because the five under five outnumbered the grown-ups, we did our best to keep them happy. We even let three of the five sleep together. Bedtime routines were thrown out the window. As were balanced meals. There was a trip to Chick-fil-A. And an outing to the local, and thankfully very loud, Mexican restaurant. There were lots of laughs, a few time-outs, the occasional mess, and tons of sweet, sweet memories.
