Singing the endless cough blues

Wow I took an unexpected hiatus from the blogging world due to illness. Seriously everyone over at our place has been really sick! The kids were up most of the nights last week in insane coughing fits. Katie was sick for soooo long I finally took her in to the doctor and she was down to 17.5 pounds! Poor little thing. We are all just starting to feel better and I have been trying to catch up on all my housework, grocery shopping, and just general chores and errands. Nothing like cleaning up barf all week and being up all night with coughing kids to make you realize how wonderful having everyone healthy really is.
Before the onset of the flu over here we had a great time having Grandma and Grandpa come for a visit. The boys were so thrilled to get to be with them, the are always so excited. We played games, glow golfed, and even got them to play some guitar hero. Lloyd really rocked! Hopefully they will forgive us for giving them the very bad cold they got when they returned home!! It's always tons of fun to be with them and with Mike, Melissa, and Beckham.
I think Addie had a hard time going back to school today after having taken a week off, because his teacher told me that Adam forgot his "listening ears" at home. Little does she know he actually doesn't have any. Kidding, but when she asked him why he wasn't listening he said it was because of his mom. No explanation, just because of his mom. The only thing I have to say about that is Adam's inner mind is inaccessible to me at this point which is too bad because I would LOVE to see what's going on in there.
