Sleeping Boys

So, this pneumonia has really thrown me for a loop. I didn't realize how sick I would feel. Thank goodness for Faye, who has been taking Merlyn and Berkleigh whenever possible so I can try to rest. Yesterday the girls went to our friends Loren and Merrell's house for a couple hours. They have two girls, one who's going into first grade and one who's six weeks younger than Berkleigh. This morning they are staying with Aunt Val until Faye picks them up. It's times like these when it's especially nice to be near such a supportive family network. My parents are also helping, even from far away, since it's actually good timing to have Carter and Myles gone this week. It's
made life a little quieter for me and it's made things easier on Bryan, who has taken on everything related to the house and kids. Last Friday I took pictures of the boys while they were sleeping because I knew I'd miss them this week. They are having a lot of fun at my parents', although Carter has occasional bouts of homesickness. Myles is such an easy-going, laid laid back kind of kid that he'd stay the whole summer without a moment's thought.
I'm going to take the rest of my tea and lay down now. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel up to another post.

I'm glad that you are getting a chance to rest, Carrie. Make sure you don't over do it! I hope you're better in time to swim in the 60 degree ocean!

I am pleasantly surprised to see that you are continuing to post! I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you (as always!) and hoping so much that you are feeling better soon. The "sleeping boys" pics are adorable!
Love,
Phigg!
