We're still here!

Has it really been 2 months almost to the day that I have posted a blog?! Where in the world does time go! I can't believe we are getting close to March! Crazy!! Well, a lot has happened since I last blogged! Of course, the kids are getting bigger. As they get bigger so does their little personalities! Imagine that! H has now lost 2 teeth. Yes, just 2. She is 7 and has only lost 2 teeth. Hopefully, there will be a lot more coming out soon! Those permanant teeth need more room to grow! T is still so stinkin sweet! She is getting taller and is thinning out a lot more. She is just growing up so quickly. Stop, please! B is getting so tall! He changes everyday. Mario and I were finally able to get away and go to Ruidoso. But, before we left, T got sick. She woke up with a fever Friday morning and I told Mario that I wouldn't be comfortable leaving her with her grandmother sick unless we took her to the dr and made sure she was going to be ok. We took her in and the dr said it sounded like flulike symptoms but just to make sure she had plenty of fluids and watch her fever. He told us to go on out of town and dont worry about her because that is what grandma's are for! So, Mario and I left shortly after we got them settled with Nonnie! We got to Ruidoso and as soon as I got out of the car, I stopped and listened. Have you ever stopped to listen to the wind blow? It is the most peaceful sound ever! With all of those tall trees swaying in the wind....it was so amazing! We decided that we would go to the Casino later that night and then go to the buffet that they had there where the casino was. After hanging out at the cabin for a while, we went to the store to get some goodies for the cabin. Water, food, and whatever else looked good! We went back to the cabin, dropped all of our groceries off and then went on to the casino. We had a great evening! We got back to the cabin at about 11. Guess what? Mario started feeling bad! Wouldn't you know it?! He got the flu while we were there. Our first vacation together in 2 years and he gets sick the first day we were there! Bless his heart! He was so sick. We ended up staying in the whole weekend and watched movies. At least we were able to get away! He was so sick on Sunday when we left that I ended up driving home and drove straight to the dr. Flu test: POSITIVE!! She prescribed medicine and told him to stay home all week. As long as he had a fever, he was highly contagious. No work, No anything! We left and I was ready to see the kids. He was too but I told him to stay away from them! He could say hi when he walked in, but he had to go straight to bed. He did and he probably slept for 3 days straight! I'm not kidding! My mother in law also got sick while we were away so I called my mom and asked her if she would watch the kids for me for the week. I'm so grateful for our parents! They help us out SO much! They are such blessings!
Well, now everyone is well and life is back to normal. Whatever "normal" means! I've got so much to say but since I am at work, I guess I should stop. I'll continue this post when I can!
