Learning to flow with the unexpected...

Today is National Eat a Peach Day... and in it's honor we are canning peaches.  Well at least I was.

I got a few batches done and was taking a break for lunch.  (Something about the kids needing to eat... )  Chloe was cranky most of the day and now we know why.  She decided to throw up the little of food she has had today, in the middle of lunch. 

So break from lunch, break from peaches, clean everything, including the kid {who seems to be doing fine now...}. 

I am just praying the rest of us don't get this little stomach bug (which has been going around... we just were hoping it was going to skip this house!) since Jacob has his Dr appointment at Children's Hospital tomorrow for his cough, followed by a trip to the zoo

So now we wait...  and finish canning peaches and making peach jam!  (Oh and can the apricots we have too!)  We just don't leave the house and hope that mommy's upset tummy is from cleaning up from Chloe's upset tummy.

And well, before we get back to jam and peaches, I think I take some time to cuddle my little girl, and let her know how much she is loved!  And instead of looking at it as an disruption, I look at it as a detour that gives me time to love on the kiddos! 

{And tomorrow I will share our new recipe for canning peaches! As well as give a farm update!}
