the brood - February

sick sick sick.





These are the best words to describe this house and it's inhabitants at this very moment.


Well, the sickest right now is Elliott, though as he is slowly getting over whatver awfulness has kept him out of school this entire week, it is slowly attacking me. Sam has a runny nose, so really nothing different with him. Isaac is congested but otherwise ok. The only one really unphased at the moment is daddy. What a lucky bast... oh. Anyways.

Since I need to rest (aka drink warm honey lemon cider and watch Bones obssesively) , I'm going to give a quick run down of whats new.

Me. Not much of anything you would want to hear about.

Ian. Same ol same ol. (and still devilishly handsome)

Sam. Sam has been labeled the terror of the household. He makes everyday life feel like a scene from a high speed thriller movie. I can't leave him out of my sight. He is a curious and very intelligent child, and above all extremely stubborn. He has very selective hearing and an incredibly mischievious mind, and just about the sweetest smile you have ever seen that gets him out of most any kind of trouble he gets himself in to. Currently his favorite thing to do is help do dishes, and his least.. eat. For once. Who knew it was possible?





Elliott. The artist. Out of nowhere comes this wonderful drawing talent from a kid who complains about having to write his name on his homework. Soon I will be scanning in some of his trains that he has drawn with much precision. Seriously, it takes this kid up to an hour to draw one train. Sometimes I wish they would teach about trains in school, then maybe he would actually want to be there....





Isaac. 2 months old today. He's cute. Really really cute. And kissable. His brothers love him, and so far he seems to be prety keen on them. He smiles at everyone all the time, even when he's trying to cry. He discovers his voice more and more everyday. He loves babbling to the lion on his bouncer, which is nice, cuz I can leave him in it for a good amount of time and actually get things done around the house (like watch Bones). His clavicle is healed, so we now get to give him time on his tummy to stregthen his neck and such. So far he has worked alot on kicking his legs.. cuz he didnt get enough of exercising them while in utero......

So now... we just wait for Spring. And to feel better.
