Against the Law

It should be against the law for kids to be sick when it's nice outside! Poor Coopy woke up with a fever this morning and isn't feeling very good. You know they feel crappy when they won't even eat a pancake. He doesn't have any other symptoms either so I don't know what's up. I'm hoping it's not mono like Clare had a couple of weeks ago. She had high fevers for 8 days and no other syptoms until day 5 at which point she developed a very sore throat and her lymph nodes swelled up. I'm hoping we don't have the same with the Coopster.

And Clare developed a cold sore yesterday...her first. Scott gets them and we were hoping the kids wouldn't get them. But alas, it was not to be. We're all going to the doctor today to make sure everyone is okay. Not a fun way to spend a beautiful sunny spring afternoon. But it can't be helped.

We're all looking forward to Easter this weekend. The girls are going gaga over all the candy they are going to get. But I keep reminding them that the candy and the Easter bunny are just extra stuff to the real reason for the holiday. Jesus died and rose from the grave 3 days later! It is the pivotal moment of all of christianity - the reason we believe. I hope we never forget the amazing and awesome sacrifice done on our unworthy behalf.

He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!!
