‘Tis the Season…

…for colds & viruses!
And we have not escaped it!
I have spent the past two days trying to keep Anna’s 101-to-102-degrees fever down, through sponge baths, tylenol, and motrin. The doctor said it is a virus–not the flu, thank goodness!–and that we have probably seen the worst of it. I am so thankful that she is [...]
