Sleepy heads!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Kirksville. It was great to see family and friends, and nice for Levi to get a break from studying for a few days. We were thankful that we were able to travel on Tuesday, as very cold weather and snow hit our travel areas (including Kirksville) on Wednesday. We celebrated Thanksgiving at David and Deann's house and of course enjoyed a huge dinner, and some of us took short naps afterward! :) Looks like Deann caught Levi and I just resting our eyelids for a few seconds as she took our picture! It was wonderful to sit by the fireplace and watch the snow coming down outside...very cozy!

Friday we enjoyed meeting the Couch family for lunch and visiting. They are our friends from KC who were visiting family in Green City (only 20 min from Kirksville) for the holiday. It was wonderful to see them!

Saturday my parents came up for the day to spend time with us too. We enjoyed the day together and then we all watched the Missouri Tiger's win on Saturday night to take the number 1 ranking in the nation!!! It was pretty exciting to watch the game, especially with Levi around! ;)

The only unfortunate thing about the whole trip was that all three of the boys became sick Friday night, which made for long nights and a mishap in the car on the way back Sunday. Marcus and Carson had sore throats, fevers, and were not sleeping well...while Cole had a stomach issue...did I mention a mishap in the car??? Yucky...well anyway you get the idea. Needless to say we were happy to get home Sunday evening and are still dealing with sickness so pray for us if you think of us. I don't think we've had all three boys sick at the same time so far. Hopefully it will pass quickly and we can get back to normal sleeping patterns and everyone back in their own beds, etc.
