So, first of all - glad to see some posts! Annette - your kids are gorgeous!
it’s been crazy - as it seems to be with everyone - madeline had hand/foot and mouth last week and sarah and samantha have it now - i should be in bed because i haven’t slept more than 4 hours in 2 nights combined - i feel like the days of when they were babies - they are just MISERABLE - blisters in the mouth - i know some of you have been where i am… it’s tough! :) On top of that - poor jordan had lice last week - the daycare finally was able to get rid of the culprits that continue to bring it in - oh, how i hope that those of you that haven’t dealt with that before never have to - what a nuisance!
On a good note - we are gearing up for a great july 4th weekend - we are having our annual pool party and bar b que - what is everyone else planning?
i hope you all are well!

Hey Heather! Poor babies, believe me, I know exactly what you guys are going through, remember, Faith and Emma had that nasty stuff a few months ago. It was the most horrible experience we’ve had.
I really hope they get over it soon. Sorry about the lice too, I’ve been through that when I was a kid, it’s no fun, and I ended up losing a beautiful head full of hair when I was 10 years old. Had to get it all chopped off. I’ll never forget it.
The party sounds fun! We are still not sure what we are doing. Steven has to work, but not until late that evening, so we may go over to my brother’s house for a cookout, but the pool sounds fun! Hope you guys have a great time!

Thanks Heather
Sounds like you have had a pretty tough time with the little ones. Taking care of sick kids is so hard, especially on very little sleep. I hope things are looking up now and you can have a peaceful summer.
We are having a big family BBQ at our house but not on the 4th but that Sunday……our family seems to have the easiest time getting everyone together on Sunday. On the 4th, we are meeting my parents and heading over with the four munchkins to the big display in our little town. I am thinking Faith and Emma may get scared from the noise so I may have to head back early and leave them with the older two. So exciting! I love holidays
Have a great one!
