Today is Rob's birthday! I don't have any birthday questions for him, though. 

Let's see, it's been basically the whole holiday season since I posted. It was a rough one for me. We had a little family birthday party for the kids on the 15th. 

 

 Then the next day I came down with a virus and am still recovering from it. I was very sick that first week with a high fever and chills. I went to the Dr a couple times and got stronger and stronger cough suppressants. On Christmas Eve morning, I begged for a chest x-ray and found out I had pneumonia. I got antibiotics but they didn't do anything because it was viral so it just took lots of time to recover. It was so hard being so sick for the absolute busiest time of the year but we managed and I think the kids had a great Christmas and great birthdays. Rob really carried a large load for a long time so give it up to him for making most of the magic happen. 

   

Somehow no one else got sick. The kids filled their days with Legos and other things to build. And screens.

   

For Rob's birthday, a friend flew in from PA and surprised him with a guys weekend up in St. Cloud! He had no idea! It sounds like they had a blast. 

   

And now it's back to the real world! The kids have one more day off tomorrow but after that, it'll be nice to get back into a routine where some of us don't sleep until noon (cough, teens). 

Hope everyone had a great holiday!
