we're still here, incase you are wondering. it's been a long two weeks, so not much time for blogging. the boys both had some funky virus that gave them a fever and congestion and basically made them miserable. we are finally fever free today! thank goodness, because we are leaving on thursday for kelley's island in lake erie. we are looking forward to time together with our family. P has been working six days a week for the past ten months, so this vacation time is loooong over due. we are excited for it and are really praying the kiddos will stay healthy.

not too many stories to share. sick kids are more whiney than cute, so it's been awhile since i had a funny story to share. here are two quick things, though. today, A was trying to do the sign language sign for play, which basically looks like a hang-loose sign. he said, is this how it goes, mommy? and i look over and he's flicking me off! since he's not a teenager yet, i'm assuming it was an innocent mistake.

and my favorite thing C is doing right now is learning all kinds of new words, including uh oh spaghetti o's. that's quite a mouthful for a 1 1/2 year old.
