january catch-up.

It's been some time since my last post; it's been rough-going here in the Vogl household. The kids and I were very sick last week. It started with them throwing up in the middle of the night and following with diarrhea. I felt so bad for them and wished there was something I could do. Two days later, I got the same flu, except mine was much worse. Needless to say, I was camped out by the toilet for 12 hours and in bed for the next 24 hours. I haven't been that sick in a long time. I was so weak and tired. Thankfully, Matt never caught it and he stayed home to take care of us! Since then, the house has been fumigated and we are all healthy.

Matt is getting ready to go back to class next Monday. He had a nice winter break and is ready to hit the books hard this semester. Less than a year left! The countdown is on.

We are still fostering Jackson! It has been about 3 months since we got him and he's doing great. Last Friday, a family came over to have a 'meet and greet' with him and potentially adopt. It did not go well at all! He was super nervous, was barking at them, and tried to nip! I had no idea what to do because he never does that. It was as if he knew exactly what was going on and he didn't want to go anywhere. The family was pretty bummed because they thought he would be a great fit for their family, but they got a bad impression. Maybe next time will be more successful.

Within the past week, Ethnie and Emmett have been bonding in a new way. Ethnie has been reading Emmett books and he loves it. He gets a book and brings it up to her and says, "book, a book, a book." It's so cute and she feels pretty cool that she can read it to him. Ethnie has also been giving him more hugs. Things are going really well between them!
