Enough with the sickness

It seems this week has been a whirlwind. Both Kelsey and I were sick with the flu last weekend. Due to the snowstorm we got last weekend, we had off from school both Monday and Tuesday, so I was able to stay home with Kelsey while she recovered. Even though I was so sad she was sick, the timing couldn't have been better because I got extra time to help get her back to her old self. Kelsey returned to daycare on Wednesday, but by Friday daycare was closed because our daycare provider also got the flu! Thankfully, Stacey and Matt were willing to take Kelsey for the day to help us out. To top it off, Matt came home sick from school on Friday because he had gotten the flu, too. Between kids in my class getting it, my family, and daycare, I am hoping we are nearing the end of it! An exciting part of Friday was that the chair that Aunt Stacey and Uncle Matt ordered for Kelsey came in the mail, and Kelsey already loves sitting in it
By Saturday, Matt was feeling much better. It seems to be a 24 hour deal, so at least it was short-lived for us. Thankfully, Mattey and I were still able to keep our Valentine's date. Grandpa and Grandma Skala graciously watched Kelsey so we could attend a baseball fundraiser. We enjoyed a delicious meal, followed by listening to a band for the remainder of the evening. It was nice to get out and spend some time together.
I am finally able to put pigtails in Kelsey's hair! My mom always called them keetkas because that is the Polish way of saying them. Kelsey sits really well when I put them in, but she does not like taking them out because the ponytail holders pull her hair a little. I will have to keep practicing so it doesn't hurt her.

Today was a pretty typical Sunday for us. We went to church and breakfast and then came home so Matt could do master's work while Kelsey and I played. Kelsey even got a playdate for awhile. Our friend's dropped off their daughter Ava and the girls had a blast playing together.

So even though it was a short work week, it still seemed like it was very full and busy.
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you were able to spend your day with those you love. I feel so incredibly blessed to have Matt and Kelsey in my life. They are everything to me and they are truly my valentines everyday:)
