Sick of being sick

it started with the stomach flu 2 weeks ago. Grace got it first, then abby, then me (all of this while reid was out of town) and then reid, after he got back. We were healthy for about a day, and now we've got the croup. When does it stop? how did my children get such bad immune systerms? i didn't keep them in a bubble as newborns--i had more of the "expose your kids to all things so they build an immune system" mind set. Did i go wrong with this??? reid and i have never been germ-o-phobes....but i'm starting to think we should be!!! it just seems like such a miserable way to live! i see moms who are germ freaks and think it seems worse worrying about it all the time than actually having sick kids....and then my kids get sick and i have to wonder!!!

needless to say, we have no fun pictures (didn't think to take a picture of the girls cribs when they were covered in that night's dinner) and no fun stories. Just thought i'd post since it's been a while...

by the way, any advice or opinions about this are very welcome!! I'm SICK of being SICK!!!

I found this creature in our house about a year ago. Our good friends, the Alexanders were staying with us at the time, and they used their fancy camera to capture the 61--yes, we counted, 61-- babies on her back!!!! Now, if this isn't what blogs are for....

Who's Who in the Bath Tub

I was just looking through some of our pics, thinking that it's a good thing these are digitally dated, or i'd never ever know which of my gals is which! Can you guess?
