Anyone tired?

I think Maddie might be a little worn out from her illness and hospital visit. I asked her today if she wanted to take a nap and she just stood at the top of the stairs silent and wouldn't give me an answer. So, I just left her there and went downstairs expecting her to follow or at least speak up. But, I guess she was just exhausted and I found her like this. I didn't want to disturb her, so I let her go and she slept there for 3 hours! She still has an awful cold and somewhat of a cough, although it is much better than it was the night we took her to the hospital. Poor baby!

As far as the other cute baby, who was showing off her adorable rolls on a very warm Saturday......



She is growing fast and.....

is becoming pretty talented! She's already a multi-tasker, grabbing her feet and chewing on a ring all at the same time! She spent about half an hour happily doing this :)


This week is going to be pretty tiring for us. Besides the colds, Brandon is taking the Professional Engineering exam on Friday, which is a huge deal. It's like taking the SATs, except even bigger. And it will basically make him an official professional once he passes. He has been taking a class for the exam since September and been studying like crazy the past few weeks. So, he will be gone every night this week studying. We also have lots of house stuff going on with loans and inspections and we are trying to start some packing. I enjoy packing, but right now it just feels endless and like the house is a wreck. I spent all day today packing and feel like I have nothing to show for it! Anyways, I'm looking forward to end of this week! Pray that everyone gets healthy and Brandon does well on his test!

Thanks guys! Kat, that would be wonderful! Abby does take a bottle and is fine being away from me for a few hours. I feel like all day I would pack a few things and then go into the next room and the girls would have the room destroyed. It's so frustrating! So an afternoon of peace would be great. Just let me know what day works for you. I think any afternoon but Fridays are good.
