ugh...my kids are sick again. kiele now has tonsillitis (super sore throat, fever and nausea) and is on antibiotics again (a couple weeks ago, it was for an ear infection). and ryder has another cough and runny nose. i kind of can't believe it because i feel like the kids have already been sick for pretty much a month straight. but really, when i think about it, things aren't that bad and i have nothing to complain about...things could always be worse. and that's what i always try to remind myself: things could always be worse...truly!

a little about this shot of sky -- it was taken at our friends', leah and ron's, house. sky really loves playing with their five year old son, ben. while there the other day, sky scratched her foot on something. it wasn't bleeding or anything and really wasn't that bad so i told her, "you'll be okay". next thing i see, she has a bunch of goop on her foot and two bandaids. i ask her, "sky what is on your foot?". she told me "ben took care of it. he gave me two bandaids." i thought it was just the cutest thing.
