Austin came home from school a few days ago with these 2009 glasses from a class mate of his. We all had a turn trying them on.
We are excited for the new year and ready for whatever adventures lie ahead of us. Maybe things will be just as eventful this last year.
Ashton is absent from the pictures because....
Up until today Ashton had been sleeping for 4 days straight waking up for maybe 20 minutes and then falling asleep on me again. He was running a temperature the first few days and was vomiting. Last night Austin and I started getting quite concerned with the chance that most of his symptoms were that of meningitis. Austin took him to the hospital last night and I stayed back at the house with Payton and Jaxon balling. Austin had talked to Dr. Thompson (a professor at school and also our Bishop) and he told Austin he needed to get him in right away. So we were pretty scared.
Austin called 2 hours later with the report that it was strep throat,(which I also have) and he was started on antibiotics. This morning Ashton was doing so much better. We are so very thankful that it was just strep throat and not meningitis. We sure love our little kids and are so grateful for their sweet spirits that they bring to our home. They are the best thing that have happened to us. So this year.... we will go on watching them learn and grow, and even cause us to pull our hair out at times but appreciate every moment that we have with them. I don't think I could ask for a better way to start the New Year.
