There are a few blogs that I watch regularly, some of the bloggers I even know :-), but whenever there is an absence of a new post I automatically assume they have a life. There are more important things to do than post on a blog. I find time here and there to keep this one up because it’s easier to post pictures for long distance family and friends with a blurb about our life than to write every one of them and print copies of photos (which I know would be even more appreciated but it would never happen). And I love to tell stories with pictures. Stories about my boys and life with them. Chronological stories. I post for myself as a mother…to remember.
My excuse for not blogging this week is because I’ve been sick. My three rambunctious boys have felt totally fine, praise be to God, but they’ve had a weary mother looking after them. They had a mild cold each two and three weeks ago, then Peter succumbed last week and had to take a day off work to sleep through the worst of it. It didn’t look so bad when the boys had it, but it’s hit us big people pretty hard. The worst day for me was Monday. I could hardly walk across the yard without feeling shaky and weak and kept falling onto the bed whenever I knew the boys were safely occupied. God sent me angels in our landlords! They were out for the day and took the boys for over an hour so I could rest, letting them follow around and play and eat with them, then when it was time for them to really get to work it was nap time for Ian. 🙂 We’re able to do our school work and we’ve been enjoying a new stack of library books!
Today was much better and I hope to catch up here a little. I have a Mommy & Me shoot and a Six Month shoot with my nieces to post as well as some Senior Portraits…so stay tuned!
