Wind, wind and more wind!!!

It is SUPER windy here. SUPER! Poor Joel... he still has that reflex that makes babies take a deep breath when you blow on their face. Sarah had preschool today and I had to drop her off and pick her up and go to the grocery store. Every time Joel was outside he kept gasping. Nearly hyperventilating! It was cute, funny and sad at the same time. I think it annoyed him. Sarah hates the wind and figures if it is windy it must be freezing too. So, she walks all stiff legged to and from the car, hunkered down with her hood on and her pink fleece jacked pulled tight around her neck. There is no point in primping hair on days like today. Even a baseball cap does not provide adequate hiding when the wind whips it off. The whole state is under a wind advisory. That is a big deal when you live in the big state of Texas!

Fast forward 6 hours... So it is with kids and a family. Doesn't seem like I ever get to finish a thought. Joel and Sarah woke up from their naps at the same time. Oh well. The wind seems to have died down now. Joel will be happy. No more gasping when we go out. He seems to be getting back on track. It has been a long haul for our family since Christmas or so. First, Sarah was sick over Christmas. Poor kid. We had driven to Colorado to see Tracy's family and Sarah got sick. After she started feeling better, I guess I needed some attention and headed to the emergency room with a breast infection. Ug. After we returned to Texas, Tracy was under the weather one day. He didn't actually GET sick, but felt horrible the entire day. A week later, Sarah gets pretty sick. She threw up several times and then had a fever the next day. She was fine for a few days and then got sick again. Yuck!!! Then I got sick. That was HORRID! That night, Joel got sick. We are such a great family to share so well! I thought we were done and Tracy was home from work again yesterday with a bug. I really hope it is gone now. No more sickness here- Please?!?!

Tomorrow we are suppose to have a play date. It will be interesting to see how that goes! Hummm.... will Moose the mutt behave? I guess we will see!
