Not Again!

We are sick....again! This cold and flu season has been hard on our house and it is only November! Poor little Cole had his first real encounter with the stomach flu (he was the only one who was spared last Easter) and spent the afternoon throwing up yesterday. It is just awful watching such a little one so sick - he was so upset. To make things worse the same day he developed a bad cough, runny nose and is cutting a molar!

Needless to say we have been trying to lay low today. Neither of our boys slow down when they are sick and they love being out and about so days stuck quarantined at home are difficult. Fortunately it is a beautiful day so we have been able to spend a lot of time outside. We also had to get creative to amuse the munchkins and decided to put up a fort. So far we have played pirates and school in the fort, had a snack, and read our library books. Sam loves his little hideout and both boys have played wonderfully in it. The day so far has been a perfect, quiet day at home....now hopefully no one else will get sick!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
