Life of the Rainers

Lately

These past 9 days have been exhausting. Jess got the stomach flu last Thursday early morning and is still recovering. Then Canon got the stomach flu early Sunday morning. I was the lucky one that was holding Canon when he threw up. I was literally covered from head to toe - no joke. When he was finished I looked at him and said I was so sorry and then said, "I don't know what to do. Where do I even start". Whew. I can not tell you how many loads of laundry I have done - sheets, towels, blankets, pillow cases, clothes, ect. I also can not tell you how many clorox wipes I have gone through either. If any one knows me really well they know that I am terrified of getting the stomach flu. I HATE IT!!! So far I haven't gotten it and I pray many times a day that I would be spared after I of course pray for Jess and Canon to feel better. ;)

There have been several beautiful days here in TN. Canon and I have been getting out for walks each day the weather has been nice. It has been wonderful! Too bad it's about to get cold again.

This week we have been finalizing Will's tombstone. I am ready for it to get done, but then again it seems too final. All three of us went to visit Will's gravesite on Wednesday. This was the first time we had taken Canon out there. Jess and I put flowers on his grave. The cemetery we chose is so peaceful. It is kind of out in the country and is located in the back of an old church. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in the area. I am so thankful we chose that cemetery.

I also had my first awkward moment where someone asked about our baby. I felt more badly for her than I did myself.

Hope you all are having a restful weekend!
