I have been motivated to start my own blog as a way to record the happenings in my family. I always think that I will remember the cute things that my children have said or the fun times that we have had, but I realize that my mind can't hold onto all of these moments. So now I want to start to capture some of those sweet times here.
One of the reasons that his blog is happening today, is the fact that we are home from church with the chicken pox. Not only are we home today, but we have been home for the last six days. To say the least we are all a little stir crazy. We arrived home from a wonderful beach trip on Sunday and we were excited to get back into the swing of life only to find that Monday morning we had the chicken pox. The first few days were great to get projects done around the house and spend special time with the girls. We did crafts, played games, cooked, worked puzzles, read books etc. Tim was so busy getting back to work that our week was quite opposite. He was home very little this week. He had meetings in the evenings and was gone all day Sat. preparing for his mission trip. This was tiring for him and made my days seem even longer. Last night, when the reality hit that I would need to fill another day with activity, despair began to sink in. Not that I don't have more that could be done but I have lost motivation. The girls have not really felt that bad and are still full of energy which is a blessing. At the beginning of the week Abigail was excited to have a "chicken pox party", today she is begging me to let her go to church with Daddy. Most of the spots have faded and tomorrow we will be back into the swing of things wishing we had more time at home (maybe not right away.) I attached some pictures that gives you a glimpse of the last week.
