winter sickness

Crew came down with a sickness a couple days ago. He had a runny nose then that night we went to WildLights at the Zoo so that probably didn't help much. Whoops. He loved it though.

Ever since I heard that uncured strep can be really bad for your lungs, I've brought Crew in to make sure he only has a cold and not strep. This time when we brought him in, the nurse took the test by choking him with a cotton swab and he threw up! It was so sad. Already not feeling well with a fever, cough, and runny nose and then he threw up. Thankfully the strep test came back negative! I caught the same sickness and my throat is super scratchy so I'm glad that I can be at rest that it isn't strep.

We were planning on heading over to Ephrata to see Damon's family this weekend. We like to go over there to celebrate the holidays with them before Christmas. Unfortunately, the pass was really really snowy. We just aren't willing to risk taking that dangerous drive. It worked out because I doubt they would want us there anyways because we all got sick! 

This Christmas season has been good so far. We got to bring warm cookies over to the neighbors with a Light the World Card the missionaries gave us, we got to feed the missionaries chicken pockets and peppermint bark, we got to write letters to some people we haven't talked to in a while, we sent out Christmas cards, we got to bring Crew to visit Santa, we brought some clothes to the DI truck, I got to take my friend to her OB doctors appointment who actually ended up having her baby that day, and since then, we've been sick so hopefully once we get better we can continue making this Christmas season special.

Crew has brightened my Christmas season so much. It has been a rough couple months due to some personal trials but his little scrunch face smile just lightens my world every time. He is such a little dancer too. He dances to all of his toys that make noise, to tunes playing in the store, and to anything we put on. He in particular has really loved when I play Taylor Swifts country albums haha. 

We can't wait to talk to our missionary in a week and can't wait for him to come home in MAY!
