Ok so I as I write this my sweet little boy is again sacked out on the hide-a-bed trying to catch up on his much needed rest of the last three days of marathon puking!!!!!!!!!
I know you are asking yourself...didn't your chronically ill kids just have respiratory infection/pneumonia?? YES!! So why are we battling another (more disgusting) virus?? I HAVE NO IDEA!! I suppose, if I want to be positive I could say it is so our immune systems can grow and hopefully we won't be sick every other week next year. At least I hope so, that is my silver lining to this puke filled cloud. (Sorry, I am a nurse so I hope I'm not making anyone queasy.)
Actually after dealing with this last round of sickness, my Hubby has sweetly named me "Iron Stomach," and we aren't talking Abs of Steel here. Of course, he is super puking guy himself, but he has helped a lot this round, and is getting much better at being able to help instead of leaving the room, yard or the state of Missouri everytime one of our children says his tummy hurts. (Major step up from dry heaving in our front yard shortly after we got married by just attempting to clean up what our cat's tummy rejected.
Ok so enough yucky stuff. The boys and Eric are on the road to recovery. And hopefully we won't have another illness soon. And thanks to Julie for bringing my family all the goodies to help them while I was working...That was so sweet!!!
Hope everyone has a great week!!

Crazy week
Hi everyone..our last week has been crazy so I haven't blogged for a little bit. Caleb was sick with pneumonia, and we found out he has asthma...poor guy! Then due to a sweet little puppy's visit at our house we inherited fleas and had to set off a bug bomb and completely strip our house of all the boys' clothes and toys. I honestly think it was worst than moving! But, Caleb is well, our house is cleaner than it has been in a long time and life will hopefully be a little less eventful this week.
We went to the park earlier today and it is WINDY!!! Wow! Seriously it almost made Caleb fall over. Eric told me later that it may get up to 50 mph winds here today. Can't believe I picked that day to go to the park, but oh well! Then I got to take two boys to the store! Crazy! They did pretty good. Strangely enough Luke is going through a huge helper phase. He hands us the wipes if we have to change Caleb, and grabs Caleb and brings him back if he is trying to run off. He has done lots of other things too like help me put the groceries away and lots more! I hope this phase stays around!!
At the park Caleb chipped his front tooth on those concrete toys you ride on. (I don't know how else to describe them..but this one was an alligator) Thankfully it isn't too noticeable, but now both my kids have chipped front teeth. Oh well, at least he didn't knock them out, which is what it sounded like when he hit.
We are starting a new Bible study at church that I am really looking forward to..It's called Love Dare and it's based off the movie "FireProof" with Kirk Cameron. I haven't seen the movie yet, but they showed a clip of it at church on Sunday and it looked really good. So, hopefully the study will be good also!
Well this blog has been really random, but that's all my news for now!
Have a great day!

EATING
I dedicate this blog to the millions of children around the world who will go to bed hungry tonight. Today is Global Food Crisis Day through Compassion International. I was absolutely heartbroken to discover that every 7 seconds someone in the world dies from starvation or starvation related illness.
How many times in the last week have I over ate??? Like probably everyday. But daily, parents in other countries, and maybe some in our own, have to choose which one of their children will get to eat that day.
Ok, so as tears come down, as I think of having my babies cry at night because of hunger...I am asking anyone who reads this to be in prayer and/or fasting for the Global Food Crisis. The recent economic problems are worsening poverty worldwide as food prices are soaring. We all know that we take a hit when we go to the grocery store..but this huge increase is literally killing people worldwide.
Please go to www.compassioninternational.com to read more about this and be in prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are hungry. We are God's hands and feet...we can help!
Ps: Julie can you figure out how to ship millions of Mama Sara cookies to the rest of the world?!?
