got 7-UP? after all, who needs milk?


we are on our 11th straight day of sick kids here. i claim full responsibility for being cursed with a flu like illness running rampant through my home in April. after all, it was *I* who claimed in the last days of March how LUCKY we were to have had 6 people, all of whom had NOT BEEN SICK at all this winter. no sooner had i breathed the accursed words, than illness struck our humble abode. CURSES! foiled again.
well, sweet little Olivia will only sleep and breathe next to her mother. apparently sometime during the night last night, she awoke with a fierce thirst (after all, fever will do that to you) when i awoke this morning, nestled in the blankets with us, was her 7-UP bottle wrapped carefully in the crook of her arm. for one never knows when one will awake in the night, needing a sip of the stuff! we are hoping that everyone will be well by midnight tonight...for that is when SPRING BREAK officially begins! right?

What sweet picture, and an even sweeter little girl! :)

My family went all winter without getting sick too! But now we have been fighting off this dreaded sickness for the last month!! It's no fun being sick and having sick family members!!
