no news is good news

All has been going pretty well with both kiddies. Marie started Swim class a couple weeks ago at “the rec center”:http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/rec/wcrec.htm and we’re both having fun. Brian is starting to “talk” more, and is eating cheerios by the fistful. Everyone’s pretty much over their colds, and we’re settling in to a good routine.

Getting better

The poor kiddies have had nasty colds all week. We kept them doped up on cough medicine and decongestants, but it kept going and going so Pete took them to the doctor on his birthday. They got some more medicine and they are finally feeling better. Marie still napped through lunch today, but she is coughing and whining a lot less. Brian was laughing when I was playing with him after dinner and I realized it had been a while – he must be feeling better too.

Sleep? Who needs sleep?

Tuesday night, Marie and Brian were both feeling badly, they are fighting off a bit of a cold. Sometime around 3am, Marie came into our room and got into our bed. (This is normally less effort than bringing her back to her room.) Then, around 3:30, she pushed me off my pillow. So, it was time to go back to her room. Returned her, she cried, woke up Brian. Brian cried, then was calmed by Mom. Then Marie got up again. Then back to bed, then cried, then woke up Brian, etc… The process repeated until about 6am. Ouch.

Hotlanta

So, we got back from Atlanta on Wednesday. We had a great time! Marie went to her first organ/choral concert, we went to centennial olympic park, and went to the Atlanta Children’s museum among other things. Things are a little hectic right now, because dad’s office is having a party on Tuesday, and mom is having surgery on Wednesday. We’ll get some more updates and pictures up here soon!!
