Flu Season is upon us once Again!

The posts have been few and far between as of late. The family is in that throws of a vicious circle with the flu bug that mutates every time it finds a new host even though everyone has had their flu shots.

The only good thing is, it isn't as harsh as it normally would be. It started off with Jack's sister Maddie, she's only a year old, puke every time she fed resulting in her being limited to only the recommended electrolytes drink to stabilize her. After four days of minimal sleep the symptoms are wearing off, but in the mean time the incubation period on Jack is in the works. Bedding is constantly being run through the washing machine after numerous early morning wake up calls and I fear that this is going to go on for a long time.

Summer cannot come quick enough, each winter sees the viruses getting stronger or is it that I am getting older and less resilient!

Jackson Hits it Big with Santa!

Christmas day arrives and Jackson is having a good sleep in or so we think. Normally he is up and running at about 6:30am so when 7:15am rolls around we are a little concerned as he normal hits our bed with plenty of noise. Little do we know that he is already up, standing at the top of the stairs looking down at the Christmas tree where his bike is situated.

There is no sound coming from him, he is totally awe struck as he looks at his new Haro bicycle. Needless to say all other presents are secondary and it is the case of when can I get out and ride it!
