I’m not saying we’re all feeling 100% or that we’re not going to get The Plague again. I learned my lesson last time I made that mistake.
But it sure is refreshing to see a happy face.
He climbed up on me as I lay on the couch, handed me the camera, and said, “Take a picture of me, Mommy!”
Well, okay, darling. I’ll do that.

Ava’s down for the count.
Pray for strength for Luke, since he’s dealing with this one on his own. I have a fever and feel awful. I asked Luke to kill me now, but he refused.
Earlier today he told me, “In sickness and in health, right?” It made me cry. I’m awfully blessed by this man.
Our AWANA Grand Prix was this week, and our kiddos were thrilled. This is something they look forward to each year. It was Grace’s third time racing, but Caleb’s first!
Here’s the table of registration people. I like the guy on the far right. A lot.
At registration, each car has to be weighed, and not be over 5 ounces. Caleb’s car was fine, but Grace’s car was a whole ounce over, which was a ton of weight to get off. This is Mr. Nick, drilling Grace’s car.
The only difference between Grace and Caleb’s cars was that Grace’s car had a Lego man affixed to the top. We joked that he must have eaten too many donuts before the race. 
Here’s Caleb, when it was his turn to race. #1. Doesn’t he look old? #2. He won three of the four heats, but wasn’t fast enough to win a trophy.
Bummer: I guess I didn’t get a picture of Grace during the race. But here she is with her car afterward. (I think she won four of the four heats, but didn’t qualify for a trophy.)
And last, Caleb with his car.
Ava’s already anticipating next year’s race, when she’ll get to participate, too!

Luke was up most of the night with a sick Jaden. How can one child get it twice in one week?!
And I spent my night by the toilet. Not my favorite night ever.
