The good and the bad

Boy has it been a tough 2 weeks at the Graeber house! The flu visited...went through each of us...and is finally, FINALLY, gone!!! Thank goodness it just hit one or two of us at a time, and thank goodness we had DeeDee to help us and she didn't end up getting it!! Plus, in the middle of having the flu, James decided to start climbing out of his crib in the middle of the night so he has now been moved upstairs to the bunk beds!  He really loves it and feels like a big boy....we just have to work on keeping him in there all night!

Luckily, God continues to bless His children in the midst of darkness (or the flu in our case), and He blessed us with some fun activities, not very bad cases of the flu, quick recovery periods, and some gorgeous weather this weekend as we are all finally fever free and ready for some fun! Here are some pictures from the past 2 weeks...I just couldn't find the time or energy to post any with us all down for the count!

Finally on the mend- no flu, no fever, just FUN

 Paint...chalk...little artists

 Graftons lamb lying in the sun...I actually thought this was pretty good!!

 James's race car...a little harder to recognize... ;)

 race time!

 The kids wanted to go on a walk...James pulling his wagon, Grafton on a four wheeler, and Price in her car!

 He loves his wagon

 Lots of love between these two

 This boy is such a funny little clown! He is FULL of energy, extremely cuddly, loves his sisters, and is constantly laughing and playing jokes on us! He talks all the time, climbs on everything, runs around with his sister, plays dress up, and loves his race cars. He is Mr Personality and the Class Clown. I could squeeze him alllllll day long!

 Home with the flu means Arts and Crafts day!

 Morning cuddles

 Making rocket ships!

 Headed to school today...bunnies and boots!

 LOTS of love between these three!
