We're back!

I have felt so out of the loop for the last 2 weeks, we were switching our service provider and to make a long story short it took 3 weeks to hook up our new service after we had already cancelled our old service. I won't whine too much about it because it was a good reminder that there is a world out there beyond blogging and email, I can't believe how much knitting I got done. And my laundry is totally caught up (yes, I am bragging about that!) But I missed keeping up with all you out there in blogland and am so glad to be able to email again. We have been crazy busy of course, after one week of school Jake came home with strep which he promptly gave to Evie. They both got on antibiotics quickly and healed physically, but oh my goodness... the whining, the Whining! It has been non-stop for more than a week. Why is it so much harder to heal emotionally from illness? I'm thinking it is my turn to take to my bed for a few days, but then the laundry would be out of control again and I'm pretty sure my family would be reduced to sucking on bullion cubes for food... I guess I'll just have to suck it up and try for more patience.

I just thought this was a great picture that Jake took of Evie doing her best impression of a lounge singer. I love that they play together so well, she is still having a hard time adjusting to the fact that Jake is gone in the morning. Every 5 minutes it's, "Jake at scool? Wif his teachur? Ohhhh.... he be home soon."
