Still sick

Well, we're all still sick here. Elijah was better, and then woke up yesterday all stuffy and uncomfortable, so we hung out in the bedroom all day yesterday with the Vicks vaporizer going full blast. It helped him a lot and he slept pretty good yesterday afternoon-- got a couple 3-4 hour streteches out of him! That was nice because I finally got some laundry done, and the house picked up... which was promptly trashed last night when i started unpacking stuff. Oh well. I'm not superwoman... i'm just a mom. It'll all have to wait.

I haven't taken many pictures lately, mostly for the fact that i haven't felt like doing much of ANYTHING lately since we got sick.

I'm hoping sometime to make it up to alma to get my Christmas tree and decorations so it can start to feel like Christmas time here. Speaking of which (sort of) It snowed really hard yesterady and then turned into freezing rain. I'm thankful that Matt made it home from work ok despite the weather. I don't trust people driving on the snow- it seems like everyone is always in too much of a hurry and don't seem to realize that it takes a LOT LONGER to get where they're going if they end up in the ditch and need to be pulled out... or worse!

Anyway-- here are two pictures from this week. I can't believe how much he's grown!! If you go back to the "older posts" link (on the bottom of the page) you can see what he looked like just SIX weeks ago... my little man is growing up!

hope everyone is staying warm and influenza free :)

My friend Marjorie got Elijah this t-shirt. I love it.. because Elijah really DOES love his mommy! :)
Elijah-- Spacing out in the papasan chair... i suppose I would be too if I were all warm and cozy wrapped up in blankets...
