Teething sucks! And so do sore throats...

There is no nice way to say it...nothing less crude to convey how I feel about it, really. Grace spent a couple of days this week in pain. I felt so sorry for the little sweetie girl. When I came home from work the other night at 11 I woke her up accidentally and she immediately put her hand up to her mouth and started crying "ouuuuchie" ugh...I think I was in almost as much pain just watching her. So I took the rare opportunity to cuddle her and rock her in the chair and she fell asleep in my arms :)

Josh woke up yesterday not feeling well and he was running a temp of 101 when Jennifer called me, she has taken such good care of them both! He slept most of the day, had a fever on and off and a stomach ache on and off, and then started complaining of a sore throat, we need prayers that this doesn't last long! We have a family reunion in IA this weekend, that is if we can get there around all the flooding! And only 9 days until we leave for NY!!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! All of us are really but I will get to hug my Mom again :) Even grown-ups still need their Mommies sometimes ;)

Oh and on a side note we're working on almost a week of being diaper free! She's even going to bed without one now :) How exciting is that?! I even found a package of "big girl panties" at walmart that she can wear! Only one brand fits her, their size 2 fits "20-27 lbs", all of the others were "27-32 lbs" I'm so glad someone out there recognizes that peanut girls need panties too ;)
