Chain of Events

-
  • One week ago today - body aches, fever, horrible headaches, nausea for Mamma Bear
  • Thurs all day and into Friday - complete misery for her.  But finally better on Sat. and never officially threw up
  • Sunday - Pappa Bear started getting same symptoms.  Lasted through Tuesday morning and better
  • Monday in the middle of the night - Joshua Bear throws up all night.  Unable to do any homework on Tuesday and miserable.
  • Tuesday morning - Jonathan Bear's cold turned more crupe like.  Cough sounded horrible with low grade fever.  Pretty bad running nose too.
  • Wed morning (today) - Joshua Bear is finally better, but missed school to make sure contagious symtoms are not spread.
  • Today after school - Caleb's teacher notifies us that Caleb feels like he might throw up around 3:30
  • By 4:00, Caleb Bear is officially sick
  • By 5:00 - Ashlyn Bear joins him and says that her stomach has never hurt so much before in her life
  • Around 6:00, Joshua Bear and Mamma Bear enjoy making dinner for one another - Cashew Chicken (I didn't know we would all be sick this morning when I picked the menu). 
  • Around 7:00, Jonathan Bear joins the other 2 in the bathroom and begins throwing up.
  • Around 7:15, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Joshua Bear start dinner.  We realize half way in that the chicken was not cooked all the way.
  • Around 7:30, Papa Bear joins the rest of the crew and begins forming a line at the two bathroom doors
  • 8:00, Joshua Bear joins the other 4, but believes it is the chicken and not the stomach flu he already had...we will wait and see.
  • Yes, it is only 8:30.  Yes, I have cleaned up way too much already and wished our 3rd bathroom was done.  I have setup a temporary bed for me tonight in between the two bathrooms where the rest will most likely sleep.  Wonder what I will report tomorrow...

Our 2024 Christmas Update

-

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

-
So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
