the Harvie Family: January 2013

Tuesday, January 29, 2013

Where to begin. We celebrated Christmas up in Bellingham which was great. Mckenna was a little under the weather but still had her spunk and sparkle. Looking back at the pictures, I can see her snotty nose and red eyes... poor baby. The real trouble hit on Christmas Eve when Roderick came down with a fever... that lasted... and lasted... and lasted. 5 days later, we found out that Roderick had the RSV Virus which turned into Phenomena. It was terrible. To make things even worse, Harv got really sick. And to make things even more worse, Roderick was sick for so long that we were not able to go to Leavenworth with the family for New Years. Heartbreaking, I know. Roderick getting sick was very upsetting to me. I am not sure I'm over it. It really made me realize how lucky we are to have healthy children. I know many parents spend lots of time at the Doctors office and we are fortunate enough to steer clear most of the time. It also made me realize that I have to get my anxiety in check. Yeah, its been a rough month to say the least. I am SO thankful for my friends and family who helped me get back to "normal," whatever that is.

RSV Virus brought to you by??? Sissy Bear.

Santa may have been low on electronics but not the Aunties and Uncles!

Roderick thought he was pretty cool getting an ipod touch (aka: Sam's old iPhone 3)

Grandpa Jack's gift to the family made Grandma Laura very happy

Don't tell PETA but this girl loves her furs

Candy, Mckenna's favorite part of Christmas

Despite being sick, Roderick was able to open presents. We missed brunch with our friendly neighbors but as the day went on, Roderick seemed to feel better. We went on with the festivities... probably not the best idea. Darn it.
