With the start of 2009 we thought it would be fun to jump on the blog wagon. So far the new year has brought high fevers and stuffy, runny, slimy noses. All the kids simultaneously have gotten the flu. We have never taken so many temperatures and distributed so many tsp. of Motrin. I'm not sure it's letting up either. Nurse mom and Doctor dad are worn out! We're going on day 7 and the kids still have fevers all around. So much for the kids going back to school after Christmas break. It's been and extra long break due to the snow storm which hit the week before Christmas.
When the year starts out like this...it can only get better!
Christmas was extra special this year because we got to see all our Baird side siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles nieces and nephews. It was a crazy blast! Adam and Elida and their boys came from Yuma Arizona for a couple weeks. Ylfe and Shawn came with their bunch from California for a few days after Christmas. Tess came for a few days husbandless from Idaho. Jandi and Kenny blessed their little baby Myles. Brigham and Tyra and their little ones are just a hop skip and a jump over in Estacada as well as Mom and Dad. There was never a dull moment with all the cousins at play. We got to celebrate Dave's birthday all together. The most special moment I had was during sacrament meeting (we all attended the Molalla River Ward for Myles blessing). We were singing Away in a Manger and I looked around and saw my parents and all my brothers and sisters and my husband and my children. It was amazing. Here are a few highlight pictu
