Up to our knees in...

You can fill in the blank. The dreaded stomach flu hit the entire Lippens household minus one (not sure how Jeff avoided it). Wow. Yuck. Is it over yet? God I hope so.

Tyler got it first - scared the heck out of me when he barfed all over me - I never even saw it coming! He was so pitiful - we just laid on the floor in the basement (did I mention our AC was out and it was 85 degrees?) and jumped up every time he moved. Next was Haley. By then we had learned a little and we were better about making it to the sink (although she shook her head no every time we ran toward the sink...I think she thought we were going to put her in it, bless her heart). Then there was Elli...and by then we were pros...if you can become a pro at dealing with a barfing toddler! They were all so pitiful...it just plain sucks seeing them so sick. After a day of barfing came a day of well, you know. And to top it off, by that time I had the bug and Jeff was left to deal with the cleanup on his own. He really does deserve Father of the Year for what he endured!

Since then, we have been staying busy playing and growing! I think our babies are officially not babies anymore! Here are a few photos - you can see for yourself!
