  Ever have one of those weeks you just don't know where it went, yet you didn't really every go anywhere?  Last week was just that for us.  Monday was a holiday for the boys to celebrate President's Day.  Benjamen wasn't feeling 100%, and although we couldn't find a thermometer (we hardly ever have to use them in our family, rarely being sick), he most likely had a temperature.  Tuesday we had found one and he had  about 102.  We took him to the doctor and found out he had a double whammy.  Both a bacterial and a viral infection.  Wednesday morning, Bryan had joined him, and Thursday we added Jacob, all having what we were told was a "fever virus".  By Friday, Benjamen was back at school, and Bryan was feeling tons better.  The little guy, though, has hung on to his fever.  I think finally today we are on the tail end, and may even see him back at school tomorrow, but of course with lots of make-up work to do.  I think this is the longest any of my children have been sick, and missed more than 1 or 2 days of school. 

  In the midst of all this, we had a family birthday.  On Sunday, Peter had a birthday.  We got up early and off to church by 7 because Peter and I were both participating in Praise and Worship.  For lunch we had Peter's favorite:  STEAK!!  After gifts, Peter challenged all of us to Wii games.  Peter and I were even treated to a date by a gift certificate sent by some loving friends.  It was a really special day. 

Tomorrow is Bryan's birthday.  He'll be 14.  I can't believe it. I'll tell you all about it next time!
