It's been a while since I've blogged, partly because I haven't had much to say, but also due to sick kids. Yes, Aubrey got her second ear infection, and she and Joel have been fighting colds for the last week. Our lovely span of family wellness lasted all of two weeks. We truly are back to normal life with little kids, I guess. We had a pretty good week, despite the kids not feeling so great. I enjoyed being an actual stay-at-home mom, and we had a nice time just being home in our cozy little house (sure is cold and windy outside!). We got some not-so-great news on Wednesday, though, that reminded us that we need to trust and depend on God in all areas of our life. Greg's employer announced a significant, company-wide paycut that goes into effect this next month. While we aren't happy about it, we are thankful he still has a job. We'll be alright. Even so, sometimes (ok, a lot of the time for me) it's difficult not to worry. God has always provided for our needs, and we know he will continue to do so.
Friday night we brought our snot-nosed little crew over to my parents' house to celebrate Brian's birthday with the family. The kids loved his "motorcycle" birthday. Emily made him a motorcycle cake that had glittery frosting, and Joel, worried that it wasn't edible, asked over and over if we could eat those parts. They got some Wii time in, too. Aubrey was very tired and squirmy and kept getting in the way of the TV. She thought it was quite the fun game--silly girl.

Oh, sometimes I just wish I could be closer! Looks like so much fun.
Glad you caught us up. I was wondering if you fell of the face of the earth or if everyone was sick again. :-) How about everyone get well and make a record of how long you can stay well! :-)
And that's a bummer about Greg's pay cut! Jeesh. But, you're right, God has always taken very good care of you guys. I guess you'll just have to go into business and start making lots of nursing covers now. :-)
Love you,
Cheryl
