The last couple of weeks have been crazy, but somewhat uneventful. Kyle has been sick for 2 full weeks. He can't seem to shake it. The entire family is ready for him to start feeling better. Maya also got sick. It started with a cough and fever, and then she got an ear infection. I took her to the Dr. as soon as she started complaining so we avoided a Sophia-sized infection. She is doing much better now. Last Wed. I was able to be a parent volunteer on a field trip with Maya. We went to the Capitol Theater and saw a dance all about circles. It was a lot of fun and the kids really liked it. I am glad I was able to go and spend some extra time with Maya. Between the pregnancy and Ellie I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with Maya lately, so we enjoyed being together. We also made cookies this week with all the girls and they got to frost them. Ellie didn't frost her cookies, she just ate the frosting. We have also been busy getting ready to move the 2 big girls downstairs to make way for the baby. They want seperate rooms, so we have had to make some improvements on one of the rooms. We are hoping to have their rooms ready this weekend so we can get the baby's room ready.

The girls in the dresses Kyle's mom made them for Christmas. It was really hard to get a decent picture of all of them, but this is the best one.

On another note, today in church Ellie was full of energy. There was a special musical number and as soon as the piano started, Ellie popped off her seat and started dancing. This is an example of how she is all the time, a moving ball of energy.
