In Sickness and In Health

I never made that promise when I started this blog. Thank goodness. We spent about a week and a half with someone being sick in our family. A stomach bug, sinus infection, runny nose, fever, headaches....you name it we had it. It's funny how after illnesses run their course and everyone is well again I look around the house and realize only half the battle is done. Because of course during that week and half my focus was the kids and not so much the house so now I have a laundry backup, dishes piled high in the sink, and mess everywhere! Enough complaining though. Our house is back in ship-shape and I can write again without having a guilty conscience. This past Saturday we went to Tim's grandparents' house to celebrate all the August birthdays in the family. I love how this particular picture came out of Andrew with his great-grandparents.
