And now we bring you back to our regularly scheduled program

I haven't been sick in a year so I figure when the sickness hit me on Thursday I was just getting a year's worth of crud in a 48 hour period. I was running a "low-grade" fever. But I swear, y'all, you could have fried an egg on my forehead. I run an everyday temp of about 96.7, so seeing the 102 made me flip out a little.

But, thank GOD JD was here to take care of Lorelai. I surely could have made it through, but it wouldn't have been pretty.

Three days pass and I think the crud is, for the most part, gone.

As y'all know, JD was delayed for P.A. School about four months ago, so he's been talking about the group that got delayed since then. However, every time there is a get together, I'm either out of town or already have plans. I know, I know...I'm so busy and important.

*cough * choke*

Tonight we had a little casual Christmas party with that crew. What a terrific group of people! And the kids. Oh the kids. They were so well-behaved and sweet. Granted four of them were under the age of one, but the other five, ranging from three to 13, were so awesome too! Anyway, I snapped a few of the smallest of the bunch. One is almost a year old, one is four months old and the other two are six months old. I bet you can't guess which one is which. Minus our bebe, of course. It's so awesome how God makes us all so different! (going to need to be my mantra as our rather super-sized angel continues to grow)Speaking of our bebe, I'm sure you're just DYING to see more photos. It's a shame I don't have my camera around more often.

How could you EVER be mad at this face.And when she performs on command. Simply. Precious. Here she is showing "TOUCHDOWN!"
THEN....you'll never believe it, ladies and gents, this actually happened.
Yep, that is Lorelai, sitting in my lap, watching a Disney Christmas movie. I think there are two points that need to be made here. First off, you almost NEVER see a picture of just the two of us together. I think the last one I have with just the two of us goes back about seven months. Secondly, since Lorelai has started becoming more mobile, I can't get her to sit still for 30 seconds, let alone 20 minutes like she did tonight. A dream come true.

She then discovered the flash was for her, so this is her new favorite face to make.
And here's one of Daddy just moments later. Could we be anymore blessed?Last, but not least, this picture.
Yes, my poor child has my funky-shaped toes. I feel so badly for her. Bboth of us are relaxed. It's sad, I know.

P.S. I'm glad you are feeling better. However low grade the fever is, I know having it for days can really wreck your body. Glad JD was home to take care of the both of you.

I am sorry you were sick. Glad to see you are doing better. How cute is Lorelai! Such pretty eyes! In response to the comment on my blog, you're emotional cuz you're PREGNANT?!!!

Love the foot photo. That is hilarious. It's really odd how our children get the random things we have. Peyton has the dimple on her right cheek that her father has. Only her right cheek. It's so weird.

I love all the photos. Keep them coming. It was so cute seeing her snuggled up to you :)
