The Grumpies

This is Canyon being very sick at Sadie's wedding dinner. What a trooper, not only did he have to put up with a wedding and eight little girls...he had a fever on top of everything else.

We have, at our house this very week, a phenomenon called “The Grumpies.” We got home from Sadie and Christians wedding and Canyon was finishing off a virus that he had the entire time in Logan and Alice was just beginning. By Monday I had it and we spend a few days hunkered down in a messy house just whining through fevers and croupy coughs. I’m feeling better now, and Alice is feeling well enough to be really awful…oh yeah and Jane started the croupy cough last night. So anyway…we are trying to hang in there…we are, however, glad to be home and looking forward to no more traveling until our camping trips this summer. I have to say…one bright spot in this week, Lily has really stepped up and has been an angel (much out of character). She practiced piano, did homework, went swimming, got ready for bed—all without being asked and even cleaned up Canyon’s legos (a formidable task for anyone). So I say, props to Lily—thank you for being a great helper this week…keep it up.
