I just couldn't NOT post this picture from last week.  Aren't they so cute??  Ava is such a cheese ball. Last week the weather was so perfect that I put together a little picnic for me and the kids after school in our backyard. 

This was the day before Nathan got sicker then he has ever been in his life. I spent all Conference Weekend in the bathroom with the poor guy~ 48 hours of throwing up, followed by two more days of other tummy troubles, calls to the Dr., lots of anti nausea meds, losing 4+ pounds, almost needing an IV because of dehydration, and he is finally getting his energy back....it was quite a scare. I was so worried, and I am so glad he didn't end up having to go to the E.R. The doctor gave us a time to take him if he hadn't stopped throwing up and luckily right about that time he was able to start keeping little bits of Pedialyte down. We are still not sure what he had because we all had the same foods to eat, and no one else in the family has caught any type of bug. I sure hope it stays that way! We are just so glad he is better.

ps Today it snowed ALL DAY LONG...so much for the nice weather!

Oh poor little guy! And poor you! It's so not fun having sick kids. Especially when they're sick from both ends! ;) I'm so happy to hear that he's feeling better! And I can't believe how big Ava is getting! Look at all that hair! Your kids are soooo cute!

Ava's smile cracks me up. So glad Nathan is on the mend! And we're on day 2 of it snowing nonstop. Luckily most of it hasn't been sticking, but still....

How terrible. I am so sorry!. We all just had a stomach bug, but it wasn't that bad. Dehydration is a scary thing. Abigail had to get an IV once and about age 2. Hope you all stay healthy.
