The Plague...

has infested our house in the form of strep throat! Woo hoo! First me, then Jonah, then Sadie, then Michael. Hopefully Violet is still too young to get it. It probably didn't help that we were all cooped up together last week due to the ice storm.

Here are some new pictures...

Our neighbor's tree fell over into our driveway. Michael had to chop part of it off in order for us to get out. Poor tree. The good news is that once the ice melted, the tree perked right back up.









This was Violet's first encounter with snow. I didn't have any snow boots for her so I covered her shoes with plastic baggies secured with painter's tape and put socks on her hands. She was very confused but had fun anyway!












More pictures from the ice storm...It was very beautiful but so destructive. Luckily, we didn't lose power.




















Here's another cute picture of Little V. She has become obsessed with purses and bracelets lately. She carries a purse everywhere. She even sleeps with it sometimes. She piles all kinds of things on her wrists besides purses...watches, bracelets, cookie cutters, underwear, shirts...whatever she can find. It's hilarious. She is such a girly girl.













Also, she's really come out of her shell. She use to hate everyone except our immediate family. Now she will walk up to anyone, reach for them, wrap her arms around them and give them a pat. She's now walking everywhere too. She even runs occasionally. She's come a long way!
