Grin and bear it.

Poor us. We are officially the leper colony. Mono is a lonely illness.

John was a mess today. He has a fever, can not swallow and has a dr appt tomorrow morning. Trust me I looked in his mouth and it hurt just to see his tonsils.
Lucy has an ugly cough and super runny nose. She has been a grump and doing all kinds of naughty things. She started the morning off by getting her hands on her cheese crackers and dumping out the whole box on the floor while I was on the phone with the dr and then dumped her whole bowl of cereal w/ milk on the floor at lunch. good times. The kicker is she grabs your hand to walk you over to show you what she did. Last night she opened a marker and drew all over the kitchen floor and the bottom of the refrigerator. The toilet and toilet paper is the most fun thing ever to her. All you who have been around kids know what I am talking about.

She has also been swatting at me and objects and herself constantly. She started that in China and really amped it up in the last week. She will also constantly hit at her grandma(my mom) which makes her feel special, I am sure about that. So all of this when you are tired and uncomfortable is a bit overwhelming.

On a lighter note- Her hair is growing in to be quite a mullet. What is up with that! Anyways, she is as cute as can be otherwise. She is going to be quite a handful as she grows up. More of this to follow. ;)PS. This is her face when we ask her to SMILE!!

I just love that face! She did the toilet paper thing here last week, Mia went in to get a tissue and Lucy followed and came out with the whole roll trailing behind her! She's super quick too! Gotta luv that girl =) StevieStephand MiA

Hey John & Ton,
I am soooo sorry you've been sick and us too, but we're up & running now so will be sure to be by to help out. About Lucy, shes reacting to the changes in her house, looking for the undivided attention she was used to getting, so don't get too disheartened. The rest of us will need to step it up and spend more time with her so you two can focus on getting rested up and back to your normal lives. You're always in our hearts, thoughts & prayers, we love all of you.
