We were looking forward to a nice weekend with our friends from Minnesota. Finally a weekend to spend with each other just catching up. I warned them early in the week the kids were sick. Everyone knows us... if someone is sick you better tell us. The last thing we want is a cold. I just assume everyone gets sick as easily as the kids. They said no matter what they will be coming. I could not wait. Unfortunately, on Friday Chris was feeling terrible and decided he better go into walk in. Determined it was just a sinus infection. Come to find out he had a case of strep and double ear infection. OH MY! My first thought, my poor husband. Immediately followed by sadness. There was no way the weekend was going to happen and I sure hope it is not spent running the kids to the clinic. This was the first time since Zak was born strep was in the house. I had no idea if he would get it not having tonsils anymore. Thank god - as he was watching over us! Zak seems to still be doing well (just at the tail end of his cold). Callie was already on antibiotics so hopefully she won't get it and if she does the antibiotic covered it. So needless to say the weekend has been spent cleaning the germs. Today the nurses spent the day cleaning toys again. Hopefully we can beat this one. And ya know I must say. Chris does not get sick often, but when he is sick and I am not you know it is bad.
So Sunday I spent the morning at a coffee shop putting some things together with a close friend. Then I went home and putzed around the house. I bent over and my whole back just gave out. It has been a while since that happened. The worst part. I could not even lift Callie.. which meant not even a chance with Zak. UGH! Do you know how hard it is to lift a 32 pound child when you cannot bend. Thankfully I was able to get into the chiropractor today and I already feel better. I guess there comes a point when your body can only handle so much before another adjustment it needed. I just love the chiropractor!
Don't forget.. there is still time to join us in our walk to fight heart Disease! Click on the link to the right to Donate in honor of a loved one, Family, friend or to sponsor our Kids!
Also, we love to hear your comments. We often get busy and do not have time to write each one of you, but we do think of you! Thanks for taking time to catch up on our lives!

Busy Weekend
It was a busy weekend full of running for the family. Sat was spent running around during the day. Then off to a wedding for one of Chris's High School Friends. It was the first of 3 weddings we know about for the year. The other two in June.
Today we went to visit Chris's aunt in Hospice near Milwaukee. The kids traveled well on the way down, but the way back was a bit more challenging as they both fought sleep. I on the other hand enjoyed my hour nap. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family as they go through this difficult time.

What a great weekend
It was nice to relax this weekend and also get something done around the house!
Friday Chris and his dad went duck hunting again and were in by 7. One of my close friends came over for dinner. The kids were even good so we could relax and sit down to eat. When the boys got in from hunting the girls went to get a pedicure and to a local restaurant for desert and drinks. It was so nice to get out of the house and just catch up. She is one of those friends we can talk about the kids, work and most importantly a lot of nothing, but it is all very important. We decided at dessert we were not going to talk about the kids at all. We had so much to say it was not even hard to think of things to catch up. I just love those types of friends! Thanks for a great night out!
Sat I was able to finally clean the bedrooms. They are the last to always get cleaned. It is so nice to walk down the hall and see a clean rooms! Then Sat night we had a nurse on that got here at 6:30. We went out shopping.. nothing fun just the necessities, TP, soap, paper towels you know how that goes when you are almost out of it all. We took Zak with. It was just like the old days when we shopped as a family. We still don't like to take Callie out, especially with her surgery coming up. We just cannot take the chance of her getting sick. Soon we will be going out as a family of 4.
