Sick kids are never any fun...In fact, it breaks my heart to watch one of my little cuties turn red nosed, watery eyed, pale, coughing, sneezing and aching. Allie started us out this season on the yuck trail....(Thankfully we haven't had the other YET!!!!)

She keeps telling me that she needs to go to the doctors office so that he can make her feel better. She wants to call Brian about 10 times a day to see if talking to him will make her coughs go away...NO LUCK!!!!!

Although it makes me feel so bad for them when they are sick, I am always so torn with my emotions...they like to snuggle up to me and let me take care of them!!!! Even Nate, who has NEVER been a touch and hug kind of kid. They will ask me to rub their face or tickle their back. I am a sucker for someone wanting affection in the form of a snuggle!!! I always tear up and feel overwhelming gratitude when I have a quiet moment with an unusually calm child in my lap. I am so blessed to be a mother and a wife to such incredible spirits!!!! I love my family and thank my Father in Heaven for every minute I spend with them!
