NyQuil anyone?

This week has been a doozy. I spent most of my week on Tylenol cold, sudaphed, mucinex, NyQuil and Advil. Half of the week i actually could not speak above a whisper. I tell you what, it is not easy taking care of three little ones while you are sick. I was definitely grateful for all the help i received. A big THANK YOU!!!! Dale, Marianne, Mom, Sandy, Alli, Melissa, papaw

Grace was frustrated and told me to stop whispering. I was frustrated that I couldn't stop whispering. How do you whisper above a 1 1/2 year old (who doesn't understand volume control) a loud piano, a dishwasher and an occasional song from the 6month old baby toy.

Despite the sickness we had a fun week.

IT SNOWED!!!
Grace woke up from her nap and we looked out the window and beautiful snow was falling from the sky. She thought for sure it was Christmas. I had to convince her that it was not but snow is a good indication that Christmas is on its way. She informed me that we need to put up our tree. Where do you find a real tree the week before thanksgiving?

If you knock on our door every morning after breakfast you will find these two little turkeys playing the piano. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to get Dale to play a few tunes. I love that my kids love music. Micah especially likes it. I thought this was a cute picture. It was cold outside so i let grace put on her ballerina costume. She danced around for about an hour.

A sweet moment i hope i never forget. Every night we read to the kids before they go to bed. While i was reading to micah in his bedroom grace poked her little head in and asked if she could listen to a story too. I had one arm around micah and one around grace. It was precious. I always imagined what it would feel like to be setting with my kids cuddled in my lap contently. it was heavenly. luckily dale was close by and took a picture for me.
