Ohhhhh friends. I’m sorry there’s not much more of a post than this today. At least one of us has been sick for the last three weeks. The last few days, the Sick stepped it up a notch. It was of the “take me now, Jesus” variety.
So, please, enjoy a few pictures that led to Milo & Sophie’s first hug this week. It about did me in for cuteness, and I needed that. We put a runner on Sophie’s dresser and she decided the best way to try it out was to sit on it. She said “Come on, Milo” so I sat him up next to her. It would have been the first side-by-side picture I’d had of them in ages, so I pulled out my camera. Then things unfolded from there. It’s a miracle I caught it on camera (albeit my phone’s camera). I was just happy to have a picture of them next to each other, let alone A HUG!!!
Highlights: Sophie petting him while saying “Soft” and Milo kissing her hand. Also, really that FACE. He was just. so. happy.

April 11, 2014 at 7:29 amI showed my kids that picture and my mom when she came over. It’s just so sweet! And, yes, that Milo face full of joy!!! The things we take for granted we shouldn’t. Thanks for sharing and get well soon! We have had a few of those “death seems a better option” viruses over the years. Hang in there!!

Seems like your crew has dealt with the sick bug a lot over the last few months.I love how you called it the “take me now, Jesus ” variety. Sometimes that’s really how it feels. Hope you’re healthy enough to enough some quality time with your little family this weekend. PS I love seeing the adorable pictures of your little ones. A-dorable!

April 11, 2014 at 10:18 amEmily – I know, right!? I feel like we’ve caught every last bug around! I’m hoping this is our last one of the season. I want to remember what breathing normally and sleeping through the night are like! Thanks for your happy comment, and have a GREAT weekend!

April 11, 2014 at 1:12 pmWhat a bright ray of sunshine in the midst of a dull and cloudy week! We are loving the ‘hug’ picture around here. We’re also anxious for all of you to recover and get to experience, a good nights’ sleep, and noses that breath normally once again. Immediately! Please Bless!
