#1 We are a diaper free family. Zoe Uses the potty now. She plays on the swing again(this is where most of her potty accidents happened)
#2 We celebrated Scotts birthday and only had creativity to work with for a gift. It was fun and he loved it.
#3 We realized just how messy the house can get when we are all home for a week and it takes team work to keep house. I can do it all but I shouldn't have too, we aren't that sick.
#4 We also realized what appliances are broken and how much we use them and are grateful for them.
Our A/c caused water damage and froze over causing headaches and a smell in the house from burning the ice off. Water heater we thought was leaking and paid for someone to look at it and realized it was water from the A/C that is directly above the water heater. The dishwasher runs 3 times a day and my dishes aren't coming clean.
Yikes!
#5 Family is a wonderful thing and we all love each other very much, but we sure can spend time pulling hair and hitting and yelling and screaming because we love each other. I would be so excited when Scott got home and my lap and my ears could get a break. So much fighting, tattle tales, crying, crankiness and I always had to comfort somebody.
#6 We realized just how much our real friends and family love us and how so many people can be rude and hateful when your are sick.
We received phone calls or e-mails everyday from lovely friends and Family. Linda took me to the movies. Joshlynn received flowers and KC had a great buddy all week long that would play relaxing activities with him to keep him down.
Friends and Family Rock!
We did have some people not too happy with the younger ones at church on Sunday, but they were never sick and if you have ever had chicken pox you don't know you have it until you are in the 2nd week of having it. Joshlynn was around people for 2 weeks before we knew she had it. Life doesn't stop and you never know what the person standing in line next to has. All my kids were vaccinated for it and we still got it. I kept everyone home for 10 days that was long enough let us have our life back people.
We are doing great and as of right now this moment everyone is doing well and we are watching tv waiting for everyone to wake up for Scripture Reading and Family prayer. We are excited to get started on our summer activities. Thanks to all for the love and support and willingness to give us a break and get out of the house.
We Love You!

Good job Zoe. I'm glad everyone's feeling better. Happy Birthday Scott!!
Give yourself a nice pat on the back mom! You survived! I am sorry to see that you are sick again - hang in there!
Some people have no clue - it sounds to me that you were very cautious, especially once you knew chicken pox's were amuck!
I hope that your get well soon and that your summer will be a great one, minus a little bump in the road (okay, lots of bumps :-)
