Anybody Need a Kleenex?

Yes a bad bug hit us the beginning of last week.

 This bear above has been toted by this little man all week, comforting him whenever he needs it. I have been toting the little man around most of the time as well :)

And this little man is also requesting to be held by his mommy. His has not had a happy couple of days poor baby. We have been so glad that daddy took a couple of days off of work so he could help with the toting of the little ones. 

Around the middle of the week Honey Man and I both came down with the bad bug, I also broke my toe which shows that it has been kind of a rough week lol.

We got something in the mail that made us jump up and down with joy when it arrived the other day. It really cheered up our weary souls.

We invested in a Vita-Mix with our tax return and boy are we loving it. We have been cooking away with it. The motor gets so hot that it makes soups and serves them piping hot.

The night we got it in we put it to work immediately. 

We made a yummy cheddar potato soup.

 The fresh ingredients soothed our sore throats and boy oh boy was it delicious.

The next morning we blended up a nice strawberry and almond kefir smoothy.

And for dinner we made cream of celery soup. 

We are also able to grind wheat with this mixer which I am eager to try soon. Besides the weariness of being sick we have been able to cozy up as a family and enjoy each other in so many ways.
Wishing you all a glorious weekend!
Love

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  

 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,  he leads me beside quiet waters,  

 3 he refreshes my soul.  He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.  

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, 

for you are with me;  your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 

 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, 

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalms 23
