We're all sick...

Yep. All but John (lucky stinker!). It was confirmed today what I have suspected - the boys all have strep throat. Pretty sure I am the one that started it and still have it but its "unconfirmed".

So here we all are, starting to go stir-crazy! John 'gets' to escape to work every day, but we'll be confined to the house till we aren't contagious anymore...

Christians mouth... Nasty!

Jakobs mouth and "whoa" tonsils... YIKES!

Even the Dr and nurse today were surprised at the size of his tonsils! I imagine he'll be getting them out before too long.

I couldn't get a pic to show you of Isaac's throat. Not that you are terribly interested anyway!

Here's to a healthy Christmas!

~Jakob~

Every time I find

The time to remind

That I would be nothing

I would be bluffing

If I said I don't care

About that long hair

And about that grin

Right above his chin

But I don't own

That accident prone

Funny little man

He made me who I am

I love him with all my heart

It would hurt to be apart

Even though he farts

And his smart-alek remarks

I love his eyes

I wouldn't plan his demise

He was born to stand out

Not dawdle in the crowd

He is not a copy

He is an only

The one, the only

Jakob

(This was written by Christian. After a particularly rough day of fighting and generally not getting along, I gave them the 'what-for' and told them to go write as many good things as they could think of about each other. Chris came to me with this beautiful and eloquent poem a little while later. It was so heart-felt and sincere. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.)
