Quick Update

WOW.  Nearly a month since I last blogged.  In that time, we did our annual battle with the flu.  Shelby ran what can only be described as a "freakishly high fever," then Kaitlyn got it, then I had an extremely mild touch of it, then Benjamin had an even milder touch of it, but somehow, the remainder of came through unscathed.  I have no idea how Emma did not get it.

Stacy had her spring break from college.  No beaches for her this year.  She still had to work, of course, because the colleges and the other schools cannot get together on a schedule.  The kids' spring break is next week.  Anyway, back to Stacy.  She came home from work last Monday (at a decent time, actually), walked in, put on her PJ's, sat on the couch, and read a book.  That was her excitement.  I can't wait until she gets old and settles down some.

Emma can and will say anything now.  You can even understand 60-70% of it.  She now loves to talk on the phone.  I think her favorite people to talk to must be her Uncle Steve and Aunt Renee.  She has been going to GCS and hanging out with the 3 y/o's some lately.  She loves going to school, mostly because Lori will let her do anything she wants (haha).

On a sad note, our next door neighbor, Mr. Dick Carter, passed away Saturday.  The kids never really got to know him, as he has been pretty sick since we moved here, but oh, how they know and love Mrs. Becky.  There is no telling how many flowers Kaitlyn and Shelby have carried her over the years.

Shelby tried to skip school today, but is obviously feeling fine.  Emma and I are now off to take her there, whether she likes it or not!

Be back soon (maybe).
