Welcome to 2012! We spent the weekend celebrating the New Year with the Pilkingtons in Potomac, MD and the Chistolinis in Arlington, VA. Bridger had such a great time playing at both of their houses. We were up late, though we didn't make it to midnight on New Year's Eve. We were so busy chasing after all the kids and eating yummy food to take a picture at either of the events. Despite all the fun we had it was a bit of bad timing. The kids definitely had colds and were doing ok, but I think too little sleep and exposure to more kids caused the first DeCamp plague of 2012. We are all sick, though Matt is doing the best of all us. It is super challenging trying to be a mom while the kids are sick. I feel terrible and don't have the energy to keep up with less energetic Bridger! Fortunately everyone seems to be doing a bit better. Larsen, poor thing, has bilateral ear infections, but after 4 doses of antibiotics she is on the mend. She was just wanting to be held yesterday. Bridger is no longer having fevers, but we still have lots of secretions going on. Unfortunately I do need to get back to work so we will give it a go with a 2 day work week this week. I am sure we would all love one more day at home, but I think things are good enough. It was a crummy end to what otherwise was a great staycation. I LOVED having two weeks with the kids doing a whole lot of nothing! It is tempting to never go back, but alas we do need to pay the bills and make use of all those degrees.
A few pics of our fun despite the illness. All the Christmas gifts are strewn about the basement but the children are enjoying their favorite new toy...the box that contained the diapers and toilet paper delivered by our friends at Amazon.
Cheers!
