Rolling with the punches...








Saturday Jacob had snowboarding lessons all day. Friday night I was awakened at 2am by a sudden scream to find Hailey throwing up everywhere. This continued all night every 20 minutes till about 7am. At that point I got up and got Jacob ready to head off to his lessons with Alan. I was looking forward to going up w/the girls to get pictures and watch him for a bit but was disapointed because of Hailey's illness. After they had left for about an hour I received a frantic call from Alan telling me Jacob had left without his coat. Thats an BIG problem. So I packed all three girls in the car with warm coats and we headed up the mountain. I'm so glad I got to go and see him. He was adorable and I love the pictures! I will never forget his face as he saw me when he was heading down the hill or his lip quivering when I had to go. It's moments like this I don't want to miss and won't forget. This is why I love being the mommy. Hailey is on the mend and Sydney wanted to sleep with a bowl tonight. She must be worried she will get sick too!

I feel for you! I think we're finally done with it all except Liv still hasn't gotten it. I hope that none of the other kids get it! Good Luck!

I'm not holding my breath. I am trying to just prepare myself for no sleep, lots of laundry and sad kids. That way anyone who gets it will be a bonus :) ha ha

Looks like Jacob had a very special day...good for him and so glad you were able to see hime for a little while at least. Sorry to hear about Hailey and keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't spread to the rest of the family.

Jacob looks like a natural.

Your week is similar to mine. Isaiah woke up screaming on Wed. night with his. I'm thinking maybe Rotovirus(sp?) as he hasn't had an appetite since and still has trouble with the other direction... :P
So I'm in your boat - watching the other kid (and daddy and me) and PRAYING we don't get it!
Hope you guys don't.
PS- Your little snowboarder looks so big. How cool that he gets to do that!

I'm SO jealous that you live near the mountains. It is flat as can be here in the midwest! Jacob looked too cool on his snow board and I am glad that the girls are feeling better!
