Praying for Recovery

I believe this has been the most difficult week for us in a very long time! We have all been hit with this horrible cold! We try to rest, but because of coughing or Corbin's energy level (despite being sick, he still has his energy) we don't get as much in as we really need! We spent the entire week inside our house...except a few trips to the Dr. and to rent some movies! We have our medications all over the counter in our kitchen! I can't believe how many we have and how long it seems to be taking them to work! Anywho...we should be better soon, Lord willing! Along with this cold Corbin has been teething. I don't know which one is the cause, but he really hasn't been eating much (and he is already in the 7%, he doesn't need to get lower).
This picture is hilarious! Corbin really needed a bath!!! He loved splashing around in the warmth of the bath water! Usually he comes out full energy. So, when he climbed out and snuggled into the towel looking just like a little baby, I made Joel run and get the camera! Of course, Corbin didn't like the idea of looking like a baby, so he spazed while the photo was being taken!
It has been so nice outside! Every day I open the curtains and wish I had the energy to go for a walk! The only thing we seem to be able to do outside is a quick round of bubbles! Corbin loves bubbles! In fact, the word "bubbles" sends him running right to the patio door! It's only a 10 minute trip outside....the perfect amount of fresh air to help us feel a bit better.
Quick funny story:
Corbin loves being outside! Even when he was really sick, he would still run to the patio door for the opportunity to get outside! One of the nights (it's a blur, don't remember which night) when Joel wasn't home, Corbin really wanted to go outside. I told him if he wanted to go outside he had to bring me his pants (took them off for his diaper change and ran away before I could get them back on him)...so what does he do, he brings me his pants and starts to put his leg in!!! It was so cute! Then I told him he needed to get a sweatshirt and he did...along with socks and shoes. You can't say no to that, can you??? I couldn't! So, despite our illnesses, we went outside for a little bit! Corbin even kept his hood up the entire time! Nothing usually stays on his head! I guess he needed the fresh air!!!
(We are all really looking forward to being better so we can enjoy the outdoors and not the computer screen!!!)
