I know blogs are soooo 10 years ago, but I still find this to be a good way to write and share some of what our family is up to. I like looking back on the pictures and stories and reminiscing, even if nobody else is reading this. I know somebody will read it eventually and appreciate my preservation of memories.
We had a rough February with a lot of sickness.
I can't even say which kid had the worst of it, because all four of the youngest were tortured on and off for a month.
Each time somebody would pull through five days of high fever or something, I would get excited and think, "we are through it!" And then a couple of days later, that person would be sick again--or maybe was never really better. For example, I had Andrew and Sean home from school one day. They were feeling better after a long stretch of sickness (but not well enough to be at school yet), so they helped me make brownies.
It was such a delight when Gavin was feeling well enough to give us a few smiles.
It is spring break next week, and we are all very excited about the warmer weather we have already had. Honestly, our winter this year was pretty wimpy. But spring is still spectacular and every year it comes bringing excitement and hope---and disappearing children.
Brooklyn found out that she knows how to unlock the front door and go on a walk all by herself. She also enjoys taking Gavin along if I happen to have him outside.
