Well, the boys are sick again!!!!! I am convinced that they get sick from the church nursery. Every time we get healthy and then go to church they get sick!!! We had our pictures yesterday at church for the new pictorial and the boys were in miserable moods. They would not smile for anything. I felt so sorry for the poor photographer who did everything to try and get a little bit of a reaction out of them - but nothing! We did get one picture that wasn't too bad. This is what we looked like when we got home from pictures (this is their easter outfits):

I think that the Shaw household is finally healthy!!!!! Last week Jacob and I had the flu, which was awful. I have not been that sick in a really, really long time. Thankfully Rob and Josh did not get it, but Josh did get an ear infection that I think is gone. Jacob threw up in his crib overnight and we never heard him, so he slept in it all night long. I felt like such a horrible mother the next morning. At least he doesn't really understand yet and he still loves me just as much.
The last two days have been so nice here. We spent both days at the park!!! It was so nice to get out of the house for a little. I can't wait for summer, although going to the park is going to be a little harder this year. Last year, Josh was just learning to walk and Jacob didn't start walking until September. This year they both run in opposite directions! Here are some recent pics of my little guys...

A friend sent me this link. It was such a motivation for me.

I have two sick little boys today, so we had to stay home from church. We had a fun morning though in between all of the wiping running noses. We stayed in our pajamas all morning and made pretend soup and fed it to all of their stuffed animals. They had such a good time - it was so fun to watch them. Here are some pictures of our morning (although I didn't take any of them feeding the animals):

I went to Bible study on Tuesday night this week and it was really convicting to me. We are going through the book "Respectable Sins" and basically they are the sins that we as Christians seem to overlook or not really pay that much attention to on a daily basis. This week we talked about selfishness and boy do I struggle with this. I really became aware this week that I focus so much on my own needs in my marriage. I expect Rob to come home from working all day and forget about his needs, plans, etc and focus on helping me. Since the boys have been here, I really do not pay attention to him enough and I completely put their needs above his. I am focusing on really showing Rob how much I appreciate him and my goal for right now is to not complain about him helping me more, but to thank him for what he does do - which is a lot! He works a lot of hours each week to provide for us and then he watches the boys on his days off so that I can go into work. He also does plenty around the house that I don't ever thank him for.
Anyway, that is what I am working on.
One bit of exciting news is that I got a laptop from BBC to use since the one I was using has died! This is such an answer to prayer because without it, I wouldn't be able to do half of my work from home and I would have to go into the office in order to get my hours in, which is just not possible while taking take of the boys.
Well - this is two entries in one week! I'm off to a good start.
