sickos

There has never been a "timely" sickness or death in the history of the world, but right now ALL 4 Webbs are sick. Now THAT is untimely if I ever heard it. The stars aligned at just the wrong time and BAM! We are scrambling to keep the house clean, babies entertained and Nyquil stocked. Yesterday morning all was well at our house. We went to church and everyone felt fine including the twins. When we arrived home Easton had a snotty nose. Kendra came down with a stomach bug or food poising shortly after that. Layla started to feel warm last night indicating a temperature and both babies were fussy. I had a scratchy throat that progressively turned into the list of symptoms that scrolls by during a Nyquil commercial. All of that happened in just a few hours!

Luckily Kendra is on the mend and eating well again this evening. I feel like dirt still, but Kendra's homemade chicken soup and back rubs sure make things momentarily better. Now she is almost back to 100%, but has to take care of Easton, Layla, AND me for another day or two.

Consequently, we haven't been in the picture taking mood much lately. I did catch a picture of Easton in his new PJs and his pooh bear ears. Once he realized there is a tractor on his PJ top, he feels the need to tell us about it regularly.


I took the twins over to our friend's house (without Kendra since she was busy worshiping the porcelain god). Judson and Heidi were very gracious about cooking dinner and hanging out in their pool with the three of us. One of the highlights every time we go over there is the chance to play with their dog and cat. After Layla realized the cat was right behind her she became very excited as though she were face to face with a rock star.


This afternoon during cracker and snack time we decided to try out the kid table and chairs we've had for several months. They appear to be the right size, but Layla bailed off to the side and smacked her head on the wall. Guess we need to wait just a little longer for their balance to improve. Also, they need to get some discipline around staying seated in their chair and not standing up on it.


So much to teach and so little time... Sorry for the delay in posts. I hope we get the 4 Webbs back up and running soon.

Glad part of your team is feeling better...I thought that something must be wrong...no posts for so many days! You left us hanging!! See, you've built up a thirst level for information and it's hard for us addicts to go without! Hang in there Kendra. Hope you're feeling better soon!
