Derrick giving Clara a ride after getting off the bus

Clara making a "tea party"

what is this!!  Like the 3rd time I drive the "new-to-us" suburban and look what happens...atleast I was back home safe and sound in the driveway when I found someone's broken chain piece in my tire!

Clara loves Smokey

Clara loves her babies!



She was so quiet one day...and I found her quietly reading books ;)

So after my last post ..a month ago...this HOUSE has been sick!!  I started with getting strep throat and was out of work for a week.  Thankfully Tom could juggle his work schedule around to help get kids where they needed to be and when and also take care of Clara so I could recover!  Then we hung in there for about 2 weeks with 1 ear infection and some sniffles and coughs...then BAM!  3 kids in 3 days got strep throat....AHHH....and Tom had meetings all week....so I called in Nana Sharon for back up!  She was able to tend to my sick kiddos so I could work...SO VERY THANKFUL for her to be able to do that!  She then went home and we started last week as a "normal" week...everyone was finally able to go back to school...still Tom and "Typhoid Mary"aka Kassidy (as nana called her) have never shown any sickness signs--yeah!  Well then Thursday the 16th...I felt achy and had a sore throat...so Friday morning I jumped in the car and headed to QuickCare in Moscow.....hoping they'd say "Oh, you just have a cold, go home and rest."  NO---They said "Go home and rest, you have Strep again."  ARE YOU KIDD'N ME?  So back on Medicine I am.....UGH!!!  BUT....I'm thinking everyone is feeling pretty good.....and so maybe I can get back on track with the blogs! ;) More to come!  Stay healthy!
