Wow. It's been much too long & I now have months worth of catching up to do. Here's to hopin! I'll start off with the most recent events & see where we get. Here's the condensed rundown:

6 months. expanded dining options.

3 heart-wrenching weeks. 2 sick kids. 3+ viruses including RSV. 2 infections of the ear & throat varieties. 6 doctor/RSV clinic visits. 3 prescriptions. 2 average hours of sleep per night. 0 new houses finished. 1 mom sick. 1 dad sick. 0 pleasant reasons for leaving the house. 7,402 prayers said. 0 lbs 'baby' weight lost due to stress/ exhaustion/ emotion eating. 2,379 tears shed when baby smiled at mom for the first time in days. 1 ridiculously grateful, blessed, humbled, relieved, happy mom. I think we're on the mend. Knock on wood.
