A Picture is worth a 1000 words, and ..

• 3 runny noses,
  
• 4 sleepless nights,
• the croup,
  
• and all three girls this week with a 104 fever.
  

until this goes away my blog posts will just have to pile up on my dashboard.

sickness go away.

we seem to be coming out of the dark, sick hole. the vomiting has stopped. we are all eating solids now and getting out in the sun and fresh air.
not that I have a lot to catch up on my blog, but hopefully I will have the energy to do that soon.

Life on our lily pad

Annie Kate is a little bored. Her two sisters have turned into Vomit Vicki and Projectile Pamela. We are ankle deep in sickness and Annie Kate is going crazy because we are not leaving the house. So my creative little girl took 4 pieces of lime green paper and came up with this frog. unbelievable.It was great to see my brother for a few hours the past two nights. He was here such a short time but managed to get up with my girls feed them breakfast, do my dishes and my laundry - both nights he was here. I felt bad the girls were so sick. This photo is of Sally Jane totally awake but just exhausted from throwing up for a day. (she is weighing in at 19 lbs this week and is like a wet leaf who has not eaten in two days. at two and a half she wraps her arms around the toilet like an adult when vomiting and seems concerned about being clean... Like father like daughter)
We loved having him and when Caroline was up today she said, "When is that guy coming back, that guy Ryan"
