Kids may be getting sick too!

This morning, when Nathan woke up, I noticed he had a little bit of "crust" around his nose (I know this is disgusting). Then, when I got Natalie out of bed, she too had this and sneezed a little this morning as well. When Nolan got up, he told me his nose was running, and Matt has mentioned that his throat is feeling a little sore! Yikes!!! This may be a dismal weekend for the Cook family. Natalie and Nolan both feel a little warm to me, but I'm sure this is just the beginning.


Yesterday evening, we went and looked at the house for sale in our neighborhood. If this house would have been for sale 7 months ago, we would have definitely put a bid on it. It reminds me so much of our old house. It had a full walkout basement that was as large as at our old house. Even the bedrooms were similar...one blue, one purple! It's only about 8 houses from the park, which would be so convenient. Of course when we walked in, Nolan immediately asked where the washer and dryer were!!! I think Matt and I have decided to continue to look at houses while we are up here, but still hopeful that in about 2 years (Matt's timeline) or 1 year (my overly optimistic timeline) we can move back home. There's really no point in buying a house here if we ideally want to move back...3 kids are a lot of work without having to pack up and settle into another house.
