Eliza Update




Well I thought I would update some Eliza pictures since I haven't posted anything basically since she was a month old. Life is typical for winter around here. Jimmy blessed our offspring with the tendency for croup every time they get sick and asthma and I blessed them with a weak immune system so to make a long story short, every winter we get sick and I mean sick all winter. Since Eliza has been born 2 and 1/2 months ago she has been sick 4 times and somehow avoided the stomach flu that passed through us like a wave of poo and throw up so that makes 5 illnesses that have hit all of us. It would be easier if it all happened at once but of course one brings it home and the other get it in succession. I am the latest victim of this cold which is the worst and Eliza and Amelia are now getting over it. I am sure that life could be a lot worse but when you have children who cant breathe every time they get a cold it is paralysing when they do. I am having to control my anger which is not easy to do every time I see someone who is sick or has a sick child out in public. If they only knew that they are like a time bomb for my family. Anyway, enough of the bad attitude but I am writing while I am wiping my nose. Love you all and if you bring your sick kids out in front of me prepare for the worst. Ahhhhh new years resolution to tone down the anger. Hopefully you won't be the one to make me fail.


Love

So funny! I used to get soo mad each time we would go to Steve's parents cabin with his family because someone always had the stomach flu, but no one said anything until we were all up there. "Oh yeah, Olivia threw up yesterday." In my mind I was saying "WHAT! And why are you here?" Unfortunately I hold it in and then burst.
