Five Kids, Two buckets and a lot of laundry

The title explains everything. Matt went down Friday night with a nasty virus...it came while he was out for the evening. While he was out, Judah threw up (on me) six times...no fever, just vomit. Saturday, Matt was still down, but Judah was fine...until he went to bed and threw up again. So on Sunday Matt stayed home from church with Judah and Caleb...who was now going down hill. Fast forward to eleven at night...Esther throws up first in bed and then literally twenty minutes later William follows suit. So I end up on the couch since I am not sick and Matt spends the whole night with two buckets and one kid on each side of him. What a long night! And what an awesome husband! So when we woke up Bryn is feeling it too...and they are all hanging around. My house smells disgusting, it looks a mess...and there is Judah smiling happy (I guess he is all done). The joys of kids...acting like dominoes. Lots of prayers in this house...we fight illness right in the face. More updates tomorrow!

You poor thing. The Engels will be praying for you guys. We had this a few years back and OH MY...what fun! All at one time, myself, my husband, my boys and my grandfather....all puking for days...like 3 or 4 days. That was horrible. So I'll be praying that you guys kick this one quickly.

Gratitude Friday

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
