So Happy the Kids are HEALTHY again!

I haven't posted for a while because my little ones caught some nasty virus and were sick for 2 weeks - no kidding.  It was terrible.  The ER doc thought my daughter Ella had Giardia although we had no idea where she would have gotten it.  It was scary and I felt helpless.  Nothing was helping her.  She couldn't keep any food down and was wasting away in front of my eyes.  I went to bed Sunday thinking I'd have to take her to the ER again but by some miracle of God, she woke up with a smile on her face Monday.  I was tentatively happy, thinking it was just some temporary remission.  But,  three days and a doctor's checkup later, I'm so excited to say they are better and back in school!  I've been really blessed with happy healthy kids, and this experience reminded me never to take that for granted.

Below are my two favorite photos from a leisurely afternoon spent playing in our neighborhood two days ago.
