Update

Hey friends/family/Internet Crazies! Thank you all for your love and prayers lately! I thought I'd update you on how we're doing..
Jack is feeling better. His temperature has stayed around 99 which is good and bad. Good because 99 is not 102.9, bad because he still has a "fever" and is still contagious. So he's still at Nana's. Scott came home early from his trip to Minnesota because he is sick now as well. Poor guy. So he's at his mom's house too for now. Lizzy and I are hanging out. Unfortunately, I am starting to feel a little crappy and Lizzy and I have matching little coughs. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse than this--I have so many great things planned with Heritage Makers and I will be so sad if I have to miss a second of any of it! Just some amazing things are happening and I'm so excited to be part of it. If I miss any of it, it will affect my entire fall which is devastating! So please keep praying for us!
In other news, Miss Elisabeth is a HOOT these days! She's so interactive and just coos and laughs and talks (my grandma calls it "Dutch" but I've lived in Belgium...she's not fooling me!) and is just in general such a joy. That sounds so hokey, but it's true. She is just happy and fun and the way her face lights up when she sees someone she loves...wow. Who knew something so little could love so big? It's amazing. One of the funniest things about her these days is that she's wanting to be mobile--she loves hanging out on the floor where she squirms and rolls her way around to get where she wants to go. And since she's not feeling super great these days, she sleeps a bit more. It's not uncommon to come in the living room from another room in the house and find this:You can see where her blanket is and you can see where she is. So she squirmed her way around to get where she is in the picture and apparently it was so exhausting she just fell asleep! Poor kid.
