little tummies

While the past few weeks have been refreshing, enjoying new found sun, fresh outdoor air, running, biking and ball playing…the little ones have been fighting off a few viruses. Over the last four weeks, not a day has gone by without a tummy ache, throwing up, fever, etc. Em, Ethan and El have each missed at least one day of school this week. The good news? They’re on the mend, resting well, and starting to eat a bit better. And, while my patience are wearing thin with orders and whining, I have really enjoyed having the kids home this week. The sick days have been relaxing and enjoyable, paring back our extracurricular activities quite a bit. New found activities replace them: from relaxing beach walks, to cupcake baking, reading new books from the library, to catching up on chit-chat…The days remind me slightly of our home-school days a couple years ago…in a nice way.

So, to these viruses we can’t seem to kick, please go away…And to these relaxing sunny days, filled with happiness, comforts of home and togetherness, please come every day.
