Stomach Flu

This last week has been not so fun for the boys. Caden and Jackson both got the flu this week. Ryan and I spent all week cleaning up diarrhea and vomit. It was everywhere. AHH! It is such a pain to change the cribs when it gets in there too. Poor little guys. You just had to feel bad for them. Anyway, for part of the week they were pretty lethargic. I took some pretty cute pictures of them. Caden fell asleep in his swing holding himself in a sitting position. He was so tired. The other one is of Jackson and me. He practically wore no clothes all week because we spent all day changing his diapers. Thank heavens for Halle. She was a perfect angel all week.


Anyway, It was my birthday last week and my mom took me shopping on Saturday. We had planned to go awhile ago and then the kids got sick. Ryan was such a trooper, because he watched them for 5 hours while my mom and I went out. I know that it probably wasn't easy because it was one of Jacksons worst days and Caden was starting to feel better, but was still pretty cranky too. I thought I would put a picture in of Halle too.



My friend Connie bought me a present for my birthday and tied the bow on Halle's head. So cute! She looks like a little porcelain doll.

I agree with Cindy! You are superwoman. You survived the stomach flu with triplets! I just love your hair in that picture of you and Jack. I hope that Ryan is feeling better. We'd love to hang out with you guys when he's back to normal.

I'm so sorry you all have been sick over there! I hadn't heard from you in awhile and had to check the blog to see what you've been up to. Bummer it wasn't too exciting, except your B-day! Sorry I missed it, I even wrote it down so i'd remember but then forgot to look at where I wrote it. Just my luck. I hope it was as good as it could be under the circumstances. Did your mom buy you some fun/cool stuff? Are you going to the Green's tomorrow? I hope so! If so, I'll see you there! Luv ya miss ya!
