Sickness returns....it must be winter

What a horrible month for sickness. First off the flu hit maddie and me....then Jake, Alyssa and now Nate. It has been hanging around for about a month now and I haven't been able to go to church for 3 weeks. Very frustrating. The kids are on school holidays and haven't been able to do much at all because of all the sickness. It has been a long month. I am really looking forward to going to Sydney on Thursday. Hopefully I can stay well enough to enjoy my time away. Most of the time I feel like I have more patience when the kids are sick but when it drags on for so long I start losing it. Jeff gave Nate a blessing tonight so I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow with a healthy Nate.
