I think we are definitely on the uphill from our chicken pox scare. Brayden was totally clear, aside from a few red marks left on his skin and Kennedy is drying up very fast. Neither went past the pimply phase which is fantastic! I can only attribute the escape from 10 days of misery to the well baby vaccinations... sounds good to me! Thanks to everyone who has been checking in on us! We will be around soon!!

Chicken POP Update....
Well, we first found the spots Thursday night after bath time. Kennedy had them all over and Brayden just had a few. Friday we were still in the little pimple stage, just more of them. So far this morning we are still there. Kennedy definitely has a bigger breakout than Brayden but no one is in the full blister stage as of yet....yeah! I am praying we just dry out and miss out on the crying, itching, etc.....hmmmm. I will upload pics later today (just for you Cindy!) More on the Chicken POP Chronicles to come..... Here is to a "pop" free day at your house!

40 Tips for an Exceptional New Year
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you must.
3. Buy a TiVo (DVR), tape your late night shows and get more sleep.
4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, "My purpose is to___________ today."
5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
6. Watch more movies, play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.
7. Make time to practice meditation and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat fewer foods that are not manufactured in plants.

13. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
27. Forgive everyone for everything.
28. What other people think of you is none of your business.
29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
32. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

A dragon, a princess and a lot of rain...
After being water logged in the house all day we had exhausted our normal activities and had to bust out the princess castle tent. Knowing my children have a flair for drama, costumes were a must and the "mini fairytale" that followed...well just watch. There are 3 videos but I will only make you watch one...
Never fear...in videos 2 and 3 the princess slays the dragon herself (once with her wand- wackt to the face, and once with a sword- kind of...) And everyone lived happily ever after!
