"Life is hard, but life is simple. Get on the path and never, ever give up. You never give up. You just keep on going. You don't quit, and you will make it.
There is only one way to happiness and fulfillment. Jesus Christ is the Way. Every other way, any other way, whatever other way is foolisheness."
-Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

Do you... YATZEE??

The funniest thing happened this week. Ruby has been home sick with RSV and for several days was totally listless. One of those days I was trying desperately to get her to eat and she kept pointing up at the wall and groaning. I kind of ignored it at first but then she became more and more persistent about the wall. So I asked her what she wanted and turned around to try and figure it out. Then it hit me. We have a lovely selection of games displayed on a shelf on the wall. So I began pointing trying to figure out which one she liked. Lo and behold, Yahtzee was the game of choice. When I pointed to it, she grinned and tried to laugh. I saw a smile that I hadn't seen in four days. We played Yahtzee together. And then she ate and drank for me. Needless to say we have been play A LOT of it this week.

Moral of the story: If your child gets RSV, pull out the Yahtzee.

I am so sad that Ruby has been so sick. But I love the moral of the story and that yahtzee has helped her to feel better. What can we do for you? WE love you Ruby!! Get better soon.
