Sick of Being Sick

It has been over three weeks and I still am coughing up a lung every ten minutes. I wish my body would kick this thing already! Also, my hair is falling out for no apparent reason by the handfulls. It came on pretty suddenly and I have not had a baby for almost three years. What is going on? And by the way, where is the sun???

A few updates on the family:

We had a nice time with my sister Amanda and her family. They came from Arizona for a visit. Then she and her husband went to San Antonio to buy a home and left their three oldest kids with me. I was so glad that she trusted me with that many kids. Overall, it went really well! I feel like they got a little bored because of the snowy weather, but I sure enjoyed having them in my home. My kids couldn't get enough of their older cousins. I have never heard Ethan giggle so hard, and Caleb and Jeremiah loved being his entertainment :)

Jacob is still working up in Ogden and commutes up there almost every day. I think he (and the car) are super sick of driving at least two hours every day. He does love his job, however, and his hours are going up quite quickly. I am glad that he stuck this thing out and loves to fly for his career every day.

I am running pretty well again. I manage to go whether the weather cooperates or not. I am just glad to be outdoors and off of my treadmill. I have been busy with so many other things, so blogging has taken a backseat, but I take that as a good sign :)

Our house is still up for sale. We have had a little more traffic this last week or two, which helps us not be too discouraged. We have also gotten good feedback from the people who have walked through. I am ready to drop the price again, but Jacob doesn't feel the need to hurry. I personally am just sick of keeping the house so clean...no one helps me very well no matter what incentives and/or threats I make :)

The kids are great. Ethan is loving school and I can't keep his nose out of books! He is reading so much and growing too fast. He askes me very thought provoking questions all day. He also still loves to tease me nonstop. Abigail is all about singing and dancing lately. She is also going to be riding without training wheels for sure soon. She sure has a funny personality. It really doesn't jive with mine that well, but I love her all the more for it. Jade is turning into a little girl instead of my baby. I can't believe she will be three next month!

My goal for today is to take some better pictures of the kids. I don't do that nearly enough :)
