Catch up

Life has been both crazy busy and very lazy at the same time.  We all got sick again... we had the kind of flu that is just a really high fever for several days... goes away and then comes back before you're actually over it.  And because we got it before our colds were gone Sammy, Evelyn, and I all got sinus infections and Sam and Evelyn had two ear infections each.  So, it's been crazy because of all the cleaning and extra work involved when your family is sick, but also driving me a little crazy because we'd already been sick for about a month and a half... then we just tacked on another two weeks to that.  We're finally all getting better though... trying to remember which kid has gotten their antibiotics is fun. 

BUT... in the meanwhile...

We got to visit with Amy, Jer's sister, which was so fun.  We played games and watched movies... and mostly just visited and played with cousins. 

We got to go to the Orem Library's author's series about publishing books as part of our writing group.

Jer, Jim, Judy and I went to the Utah Symphony Friday night.  AMAZING, like always.  But last night was probably my favorite piece in the whole world.  Rach's Piano C.3.  The pianist was wonderful, and the night was warm.... and we got free babysitting because we're babysitting swapping with our neighbors.

Tigress, one of our cats got locked in the van for 2-3 days... all I can say is disgusting!  I couldn't even clean it myself.  I splurged and got the seats and floor shampooed... pricey, but oh so worth it.

I got my camera back from Nikon... YAY!  And it works, and the best part... they didn't charge anything more... it was just time. 

Ada told me after being restless most of the night, "Mom, my head's tired of my pillow."

Evelyn has officially 4 teeth.

Jer's okay, but he was in a car accident this morning.  There was a storm and one of the construction signs was blown out into the road.  Jer tried to go around it but it got caught under the front wheel and fender.  Luckily all four people are okay, but the car was deemed "undriveable".  Jer says that it looks like a pretty simple fix though. 

So, as you can see... we've been pretty busy all in all.

I am sorry you have all been sick. That is no fun. I am glad you enjoyed the symphony and that you got your camera back. I am sorry about the car accident but glad that everyone is ok. I was glad to see your post I have been thinking of you and worried about you since you had not posted lately.

Rhees Family

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
