sick children

Everyone has been sick for the past week. Rory and Gage both had fevers and spent the day sleeping and watching movies last Thursday. Then Crosby got a slight fever and was fussy for a couple days. Piper ended up with the worst. She got sick on Saturday with croup and is still recovering. We spent time for a few nights wrapped in blankets on the deck so she could breathe and she couldn't talk for a few days. Every time she needed to say something she would whisper. Mostly she just didn't speak. She didn't want to play either. She watched lots of movies and spent lots of time just sitting watching everyone else playing. She's almost better now and Adam is the only one left to get sick. Hopefully I get to sleep sometime this week.

Piper just sat in this basket and moved toys around for at least half an hour the other day.

This picture was an attempt at a smile.

This is how she looked most of the time.
