While working on our family's 2012 yearbook, I realized we don't have many family pictures. I have pictures of Cole and Peter with Cole but very few of Cole and me. And fewer of all three of us. This year I've resolved to take at least one family picture a month.
This month was tricky. I knew we needed a picture, so we just forced it. We look cold and you can see the remote in Peter's hand. Oh well. Hopefully it will become easier. And more natural. But whatever, we have a family picture!
Now I just need to figure out how to get Cole to smile when I'm not holding the camera...
Blah. We've been down and out in the Slaton house.
A nasty stomach bug snuck in and wrecked havoc over the weekend. It hit Cole first then me.
I'll say this, our daughter is one resilient little cookie. She was hardly phased:
I, on the other hand, was very phased. I hate being nauseous. I cried. And slept on the bathroom floor.
I ended up spending Sunday at the hospital getting fluids. Yuck.
We didn't want to take Cole with us to the hospital. Fortunately, we have dear friends here.
After just one phone call, my girl friend came over to babysit Cole.
The ER was packed.Before I was even taken back, Peter left to get Cole so that she could come out to nurse.
Cole and Peter stayed about twenty minutes before the confines of the hospital became too much.
I think I'm on the mend. I wouldn't say I'm at 100% yet but I'm getting there.
Any and all prayers for a swift recovery and protection for Peter are appreciated.
