Two weekends ago we had most of the 'Jonker' cousins together! It was a weekend of fun... and a lot of sick kids (and then adults)! My sister Jenn and her husband Trey and their 4 kids came in from Texas to celebrate some birthdays! My sister turned 36 and my niece Meagan turned 5! It was a weekend my kids had been looking forward to for a long time, but it didn't quite live up to expectations. The day they arrived my sister Jill's kids came down with the flu. Then the next day Jenn's kids woke up up with a different type of flu virus. We were surrounded. But, we couldn't totally miss out on being together... so we said a prayer, washed hands and hung out. As the illness spread I knew we were doomed. Our family stood strong, but finally fell. Poor Monreau was the victim. She caught the Loftin version of the flu and battled it for a week. Her little body was pretty exhausted. It wasn't an illness that totally took her out, but it's definitely worn her down (aka...very whining and needy!). Not such a fun week!
But, here's a few pictures of the fun we did have ... it sure is fun to have such great cousins. (You may notice a few sickly looking kidos!)
A fun morning at a local gymnastic place... then playing in the snow.... dinners together... fun times! It was great to celebrate with you Jenn and Meagan!
You have some great ones of Jacob!! It was SO fun to have them here for Meagan's birthday!
