Sick Siblings

 He just makes you feel bad for him with that pooch!

 Makayla assures us she's not going to be cranky (after much conversation on whimpering and whining at 5:00am.) even though she knows she's sick. Surprisingly she's doing well. We'll see how she does after nap time;)

Three in one blow! Perhaps this means we'll be done with it faster. It's been a very early, interesting morning. Thankful it doesn't seem to be the messy kind of sick! Poor kiddos! Kevin is taking it in stride. His fever is the highest, but he's being "tough" about it. He is getting too big! May this be short-lived!

A Pair of Pants

Hooray! It worked! I tore apart a pair of jeans that would have only fit me in my dreams and turned them into a pair for Kevin. I was doubtful of it being a success, but they fit him!

Childhood Chronicles

Seth has been reading through the Chronicles of Narnia with the children when he is able to in the evenings. They enjoy the time with Papa, as well as the adventures of C. S. Lewis. It has been an engaging series for them and they have already made it to the last book!

Plants and Papers

 This is my Fuscia plant from last summer. It's amazingly still alive and makes me very happy with its cascading leaves and bright bulbous blossoms. A cheery scene from our day - school on the table, dinner on the stove, Brennanish scatterings all over the floor, and pink flowers. Nice!

Kevin is becoming quite the artist these days. He is always pulling out scrap paper and crayons, markers, and pencils. It is neat to see what he comes up with.

Sunshine and Snow

They are enjoying the slightly warmer temperatures to be able to play in the snow.

Smiles & Smirks

 Such a girly pose!

 A happy smirk

 Makayla likes to wind up her musical horse and put Natalie to sleep with it. So precious!

Smiles are easier to come by now!

Valentine Vestiges

My oldest love, much to his delight, helped me make valentine cookies during nap time.
