A quick update!!

It seems as if I haven't posted in forever!!

Where do I begin?  Last Saturday we had our final soccer games.  We were all well enough to go, although Friday night I wasn't sure that we would be.  Gareth coached both teams and Callum's team went undefeated. Alex's team did well, but I am not sure their final win/loss count.

We were all well on Sunday and after church, we had a family day. We took the kids to a pumpkin patch.  We played in a hay pit, did a corn maze, went on a hay ride, saw animals and picked and painted pumpkins.  The kids were exhausted. We went straight back to church to start our Sunday night studies, so it was a long but fun day. 

Monday started normally.  Callum was feeling off Monday and Tuesday. He had a fever on and off. it is hard because you just never know how sick they really are.  All of my kids act perfectly well when they are running fevers.   On Thursday, I got a call from the nurse at school that Alex had a fever, so I had to go get her early.  On Thursday night, Gareth and I came down with it.  Now, Gareth and I have colds.  We are both completely congested.    We are getting ready to move in to our new sanctuary at church. This has been years in the making, and we are thrilled. Anyway, last night we had a sound check for the praise team(which I am on)  I don't know why I bothered to go. I could barely sing, and I certainly didn't help with what/where I could hear coming out of where.  My head was so clouded that all I could hear was myself:0)

I haven't gotten to see my dad lately as the last thing I want to do is make him more sick with our yucky germs. That has been hard. I try to take the kids over to my parent a few times a week to visit with him. 

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and we will all be healthy for the rest of the year.  This is too much so far this fall.   We want to be healthy and stay that way:0)

I am sure that I rambled and may not have made complete sense, but I did want to post something this week. Now it is off to get everyone ready to bed and an early night. Praying we are able to go to church tomorrow!!!
