I stumbled across this image and it made me laugh, it’s so true! Nothing new on the house front, we’re still looking for a house with land somewhere around Rochester. We’ve seen a bunch, put offers in on two but they haven’t worked out. I’m thankful we’re not in a rush, we can take our time doing this…but Andy and I joke it would be nice to find something before the kids graduate :-P Really though, it’s only been 9 months of hunting, not an eternity ;-)

Let me preface this by saying we hardly ever get sick. Sure, the occasional cold or sniffles…but nothing like the past month! It started over February break, Ben got an ear infection followed by pink eye. Then Cassidy and I got the pink eye. Once we conquered that Cassidy came down with a fever that lasted five days! I felt so bad for her, no other symptoms but the fever and a runny nose but she had a rough time of it. Lots of snuggles, ibuprofen and popsicles on the couch to stay hydrated. While she fought off the end of her fever/virus I started a sinus infection. I have never been in so much pain, it felt like someone had punched me in the face my sinuses hurt so bad. I’m on day 9 of that and thankfully some of the pressure has started to dissipate. I never knew so many gross things could come out of my nose and eyes. Now Andy has some kind of nasty congestion and fever and stayed home from work for a few days. He had joked he was going to live out in the garage to avoid the plague but I guess he didn’t make the move out there quick enough.
I’m not sure I can take much more, everyone has been troopers but there isn’t a lot left to give! We’re still popping Mucinex and drinking water like crazy. I also used a neti pot for the first time! If you don’t know what that is, google it, it’s gross but pretty effective. Ben said he liked my new teapot…

In January we celebrated Andy’s dad’s 70th birthday! We roped him out to Rochester and surprised him with brunch at Simply Crepes.
Waiting for grandpa!
Surprise :)
It was such a fun morning brunch, the kids did really great at the restaurant too.
Poor Becky and Will were sick so they didn’t join us though.
We came back to our house for coffee and birthday cake. Make a wish!
Love time with family!
Playing with grandpa is the best.
Happy birthday, we love you :)

The kids don’t really have many chores around here. Most of the time it’s just easier and quicker for me to do something myself. Part of parenting is teaching them skills and how we work together as a family though…it’s something I’m trying to get better at.
One of the things we’ve had Ben start is kitty litter duty. (Haha, duty…) One of us holds the bag while he scoops. It.is.such.a.slow.process. And it doesn’t happen every time. But we’re getting there.

Andy and Colby. Colby and Andy. It’s enough love and kitty smooches to make you gag ;-)
