Yo Ho, and a Bottle of...Cider

The Jacks family had been stricken by the plague. Yes, we've gotten the horrible, awful cold that's going around. Yesterday I lived off of Thera-Flu, and I don't know if kids are supposed to have it or not, but Ethan took a couple sips of it, and he actually liked it. So for lunch today, Brian got the idea to give him some hot (okay, warm, he's not even two) apple cider to see if it would soothe his throat. He loved it! Now, my kids are drinkers. They love water and milk, and they drink a lot of it, but they're not the type to take their cups from the table. But once lunch was over, Ethan would not part with his cider. He took it with him to drink on the walk to Alyssa's school, and he kept trying to drink it when it was gone. We gave him another cup of it for dinner, because he didn't have much of an appetite, and he wanted to take the leftovers to bed with him. I wouldn't be surprised if all of Forest Grove heard the wails coming from our house when I took the cup away from him. That kids loves his cider.

Sorry to hear that you all have the creeping crude. Not a fun way to spend your time. Apple Cider is good so I don't blame Ethan for not wanting to put it down. Yet another thing that I like about fall. Hope you all feel better soon.

We got sick too! Ariana had her first cold and she was miserable! Reuben gave her a blessing and the next day we came to Utah and now she's doing a lot better!
