Humble Pie & Pink Eye


So, I am not at church with my good-looking crew due to a good dose of humble pie served to me in the form of bodily afflictions: I have pink eye, and flu-like body aches/fatigue. Isn't it true that good health is never appreciated until it is lost? I feel like a use-less lump. However, Aaron is taking such good care of me and was so sweet to take the kids to church with him today. (Sacrament is a challenge with two of us present.) Doesn't Elijah look just like a mini-version of Aaron today?

I am grateful for my little family, for Aaron for doing all the cooking and chores this weekend. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has protected my kids from getting pink so far and who blesses my family with general good health. I think of those in chronic physical pain and wonder how they are able to endure it.

I'm grateful for the three hours of peace I've had to get some blogging done. : )


Here are some more pictures of Aaron and the kids today:

What a beautiful family! Do you want me to teach JS on Tuesday? I will have Damon, so it might be easier. I don't want you to have to worry about anything if you are sick. Just get better!! :)
