Spangler Family Communication Center

Well, here are some of our pictures from the fabulous New Year's bash. We had such a good time! And it's a good thing too, since we needed a good memory to get us through last week.

For any doubters- Mike really can dance!

The group shot is us dancing to "We are Family." Ally is hiding behind Jess in the picture.








Well, we got home from Phx, Addie still having some trouble with her ears, and found out that a mean stomach virus had swept through the neighborhood while we were away. Aparantly it wasn't gone yet, because Addie got it, then Niki. There was diarhea, vomitting, fevers, and general unhappiness. Addie stopped eating, but would nurse, then Niki got dehydrated and couldn't nurse her anymore. Whew!

But God was good, Niki didn't get sick until Friday afternoon just before Greg got home, and he managed to avoid the bug all together and took really good care of us. We are over it now- Niki feels healthy, Addie still has a cold but seems to be OK. I'm sure she's lost more weight because of it all, but what can you do? I think she is destined to shrink instead of grow!

Also, Niki got her root canal this morning. Again, God was so good and worked everything out so that Greg could be home to take care of Addie today. The procedure went well and what a relief to be done with it!!!! I (Niki) am not even in pain now (8 hours later)!

Good luck Brad & Sarah with the house- sounds exciting! Jessie- how are you adjusting? When does Mark arrive in Afghanistan? Julie- Addie misses your turtles and your hallway. We sure miss you all. We will try to post more pictures later!
