What we've been up to

 

These pictures basically sum up what we've been doing. For nearly the last month it seems like someone has had some type of ailment {tummy, cough, fever, snot, you name it}. This is not normal for us at all. I usually have a pretty healthy crew. Our latest bout was last Thursday, Allyson started running a fever and it lasted through Friday night and broke Saturday morning. I thought we were in the free and clear, but by Sunday night she was back to feeling bad again and feel asleep while eating dinner. I also noticed a barking sound in Maebry's cough, so I decided to call first thing Monday morning for an appointment for the girls. Mae tested negative for both RSV and the flu. Allyson; however, tested positive for Type B Flu. Then later that evening I felt like I had come down with it. Fast forward to today, Allyson and I are on the upswing {still a lingering cough}, but Finn has been pretty whiny and snotty. Praying all of this flushes out of our house soon.

 

On February 3rd we finished our Whole30, which is 30 days of eating meats, veggies, fruits and nuts. This is our 3rd one to finish and it is always a great refocus on what we should be eating. During the course of the 30 days, we both lost 12-14 lbs. Yeah...our scale stopped working a few days before our 30 days was up, of course! Ha! The plan is to keep eating healthy the best when can...we have to!

We are wrapping up basketball with Jase tomorrow and he had his first baseball practice this past week. Shawn said he did a great job at his tryout this past weekend and he ended up getting on a team who won the division last year, without a loss. Would be nice to have a winning record this year! LOL! Last spring we only had 1 win...it was a long season. And it looks like we will not get a win this basketball season either. Now miracles do happen. Ha. Jase has gotten some great exercise and has improved over the season, so I'm not saying it is all about winning. But it is nice to win a game or two. I'm not asking for the championship trophy!

 

Today our little Finn was in rare form. A sure fire pistol; I think it goes along with the sickness. He needed a super hero shirt! And he loved it! Watch him walking into gymnastics!

After we got home and had lunch, he crashed hard.

We are continuing to pray for healthy Frenches in our home.
