sigh...

So this is the second sunday in a row that we have had to miss church. We have so much illness here! Three of the kids have pink eye, Alexis and Z have double ear infections, Matthew has a lung infection, and I am just sick as a dog. Andrea is the only one not sick...yet. Pretty sure her turn will come but I am hoping that it is not on her birthday or over Thanksgiving day again! I would like to make it to the get togethers again someday.
In addition to the sickness Matthew's truck died this morning after he limped it all the way home from working in Fennville. SO, he is purchasing a truck today or tomorrow.

I know I am complaining like crazy and that is not becoming but seriously why does sickness and money issues always come up right around birthdays and holidays? Seems to happen every year. I am ready for a little bit of peace.

This is Kayla and her second day riding a two wheeler! She was soooo excited that she didn't stop riding for weeks. Now it is still one of her favorite things but she is sort of over the initial shock of being able to ride. Her source of inspiration...Dani the neighbor girl is only four and can ride a bike with out training wheels. Kayla then said it was embarrassing to have them and begged for them to be removed. Third time is the charm for her and this time when Matthew took them off they stayed off! :)
