Great meals, wonderful friends, high fevers and endless bumps

The weekend started on such a high that I suppose the only direction it could go was down. Friday was filled with not one, but two playgroups for the boys - one with women from our new town and another for multiples. Here is a photo from the latter, minus Winston and an additional set of twins.


But the best part of the day was that we had our first date night since December! We went to Blue Ginger and had not only an amazing meal, but an amazing time.

On Saturday, we visited our dear friends Adam, Jen and their daughter (and our God-daughter) Piper. It was such a wonderful time with friends, even though the boys trashed their house. Adam did a great job entertaining the boys with his bass and guitar - even allowing the boys to play the guitar for themselves. (Which meant banging, slamming, sitting on the guitar...)

Saturday night, we happened to notice that Win felt really warm. As we undressed him to take his temperature, we noticed a rash of small red bumps covering his entire body. Motrin seemed to help, but then Sunday morning, I woke up with a sore throat and Wesley had a fever. The doctor we called advised it was just a virus, but we decided to take them to the doctor's office Monday morning once we saw red bumps on the back of Win's throat. Sunday was a rough day filled with sick babies and pouring rain.

But thankfully, Win's fever was gone as of this morning, so we decided to forgo the doctor's visit. Charlie is next in line and will probably get his fever today. Fun!

And on top of everything, Win fell off the arm of the couch yesterday (about 3 feet off the ground). Thanks be to God that he was not harmed! And everyone is getting their molars in. So overall, the boys aren't so happy. So I guess things can only get better from here...right?

This too shall pass, but will you be able to endure. If you haven't learned a favorite praise song I would suggest one now. It is impossible to sing praises and feel down and out. It also is better than popping pills. Nanna

Yes, just tell yourself it will get better! Even if it doesn't for a while you will at least feel better in the short term thinking it will!

Lots of love and prayers,
