{p,h,f,r} searching for calm during the storm

Most of you know that it's been a difficult week at the Barkalow's.  Rosie is sick.  We continue with the breathing treatments and antibiotics in hopes that she'll be herself again soon.  It's been 7 days since she's had anything to drink and I'm fighting the overwhelming sadness that she will likely not nurse again.  Just like that.

Of course, with three precious children, there are beautiful moments.

Who says you can't have a breakfast picnic?

Zadie was so happy when we found 2 four leaf clovers in our yard.  Especially since Andy had never found one :)

Sweet bunny

Why do they love to take the cushions off the couch?

Rosie did lose a little weight in the hospital, and she feels so small to me, but as you can see, she's got plenty to spare.

Andy has been so sweet and agreeable through it all.  He is loving baseball practice; he can't wait until the season begins.

Say a prayer for our Rosie.  It breaks my heart each time she cries.    It's a sound I've  rarely heard before this week.
