The Nighmare That Tonight May Provide

He's passed out in the hall. The effort of going to the bathroom was just too overwhelming. Must rest. Must suck thumb. Must close eyes.


I thought this was a little strange and out of character for my boy. Thus, when taking his temperature I was not surprised by the 102.5 degree reading.

One hour after taking a dose of Advil he was spotted running around our property like a wild child.

Let's hope tonight bodes well for the adults on the premises...

p.s. He was mostly quiet all night thank goodness. (Only one middle of the night wake up call for mom...)

I know he is sick, but that is an adorable picture! Hope he is all better now.

My only similar experience is when I was a sick kid. I remember that as the time I was glad to have parents around.

Sorry he is feelin' crummy Julia but love the blankie and the patched knee. I had both as a kid, brings back memories :)

Even when he's not feeling well, he's adorable. I hope today finds him all better and all of you rested and well.

That should be a Norman Rockwell painting... complete down to the patch on the knee.

The Day the Swallows Came Home

The tree swallows are here already.  They arrived January 30 much to my dismay.  Swooping and calling and chirping their merry song over my ...
