January...

...has been nice and relaxing so far.  Lots of down time at home playing with new toys and enjoying our fireplace!  Some forced relaxing around the house too...poor Will has had croup and stomach bug this month.  I had stomach bug over the weekend and he is still battling it :-(  But gotta appreciate the silver lining of sick kiddos - extra cuddle time!  So appreciate that since he is now on the go!  Just this weekend he's started cruising along the coffee table and has been pushing his walker push toys for a week or so now.   Lauren is still loving playing with all her baby dolls and is so in her imaginary world of being their Mommy!  All her "kids" as she calls them have a grandmother, Ms. Cherry who lives close to Eilis and Terry.  Ms. Cherry often comes to look after the babies when Lauren is at school.  Sometimes she will ask me to put them down for a nap when they get fussy while she's at school, and has busted me when she finds them still in the same place she left them.  Oh and she's not raising all her kids alone!  She has a husband named Leeby!  He works a lot and she doesn't know what she does there, but she and Leeby take turns changing the babies' poopy diapers.  She and Leeby also like to fix furniture together and they "just put all the babies in the playroom" when they do that.  As you can imagine, she keeps us giggling!
