You're pretty hard to resist...

Via Flickr:
when you first wake up and you have that rosy, just slept look about your smiling chubkin face.

You look too healthy and dolly-like to be sick.

Hello, cutest baby alive.

Via Flickr:
I have been so blessed to be your momma. Please stop scaring me and get well.

E with her cousin Greg. My other four stayed home with Daddy. They called frequently and she was so happy to hear their voices over the phone.

We spent part of the weekend in town. On Saturday she took a turn and woke up choking. I found her blue with her eyes rolled back into her head. My gracious sister-in-law and her family gladly welcomed us into their home so we could be closer to the hospital.

She seems to be handling the coughing spells a bit better. You'd never know she was sick in between naps. The trouble begins when she first wakes up.

My little niece. This is a look I've seen on her mommy's face many times. It means "I'm a wee bit amused by you but please go away and bug somebody else." I have that effect on most sensible creatures.

A couple more from 2 years ago. Belinda's, Dor's, and my firstborn sons having a wrestle in the pokey grass and thistle.

"Oh dear."

What to do now?

Somewhere in all of this mess are three funny and charming boys. Cousins and friends. Gotta love how boys forge friendships.

When life hands you lemons...

Via Flickr:
make hot toddies. Lemonade just doesn't have the same sedative effect.

My niece and the old swayback

Via Flickr:
Took a dip into my archives this afternoon in an effort to entertain my stir-crazy housebound children. 2 Mays ago, all of my wonderful sisters came to Idaho for a visit. My kids fondly recall the time together with their cousins, Aunties, and Uncle Mark, out at "the cabins".

The campsite had a couple of reliable old horses there which were happy to see all of the little fists full of grass waving to them from the other side of the fence.

where have you gone?

It is snowing here.

Addie loves Joe. I bring him in from the barn every day to play. It's a good thing he's pint-sized because he thinks he's pretty fierce.

This is my living room

My kids are battling whooping cough. We moved their mattresses and bedding out to the living room to allow us to take care of all of them simultaneously.

It even took down Mr. Tough.

Via Flickr:
All of the kids bounce back in the daylight hours, but if they get too rowdy they cough until they gag or vomit. Poor lambs. :(

Not getting a whole lot done today.

Via Flickr:
This one has a great need to be packed around.

Her cough isn't as bad as some of the others'. Thankfully, she was the last to come down with it and we knew what it was before she got to the "whoop" stage.

I painted my room. It feels so comfortable in there now. These photos don't really do it justice.
