Good riddance to February

So glad this month is almost over. The whole family has been taking turns getting sick. Last Sunday, Maren woke up with an awful wheezing which turned out to be croup. After a trip to the ER in the middle of the night, a doc's visit and several nights and days of fever, coughing, congestion and tears we think she is almost over the worst of it. Poor thing. We are so grateful she is feeling better. We've watched Toy Story, Monsters Inc., all our Baby Einsteins, and every Jack's Big Music Show, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Blue's Clues on On Demand. (We are currently working our way through Thomas.)


On a lighter note, a wanted to advertise my bro-in-law's new blog. I look forward to it every day.

Little House

Happy Valentines Day! Today at church, I was out wandering the halls with Maren (as usual) when we happened upon an empty classroom containing this cardboard house. I have no idea how or why it was there, but Maren took full advantage. She spent a minute appraising the little fort as you can see from the middle picture, but her little domestic diva quickly surfaced and she settled right in. She almost forgot how much she hates church. (I have been taking photos of the primary children for a bulletin board, so I just happened to have my camera.)
