January 1 - 15th started out with good luck when we made sure to eat a spoonful of Black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. We found an incredible New Orleans style restaurant and finished up our nearly 2.5 weeks with the five of us all together at the lake over New Year's and headed back home when PaPa Lance and Karen came in town to visit for the weekend! We loved our lazy holiday weeks and then got to continue our three year tradition of Little Chef's Academy with The Perkins and Madrids. Carter and I got out, alone, for a "date night" just before our house got slammed with the flu. Four out of five us fell victim to it or an equally miserable long-lasting high-fever and cough viral bug for Delaney. Carter was the only healthy man left standing! Many days this month, the kids would go outdoors for 6-8 hours at a time to play with neighbor kids only returning to use the bathroom and to get snacks and water! It is so amazing and I absolutely love that kids want to be outside playing 24/7.
