No clever title comes to mind...

Here I am! I haven't gone missing, I've just been a tad busy. Ethan had a fever on Friday, so I had to go pick him up from school and stay home with him. Saturday we had group family pictures with my in-laws. It went surprisingly well, and the pictures should be nice. Then Saturday night Audrey spent the night at our house for the first time, and she and Abby had a grand time. They played dress up most of the time, and at one point Abby sported her Snow White dress, a straw hat, purple gloved and flip flops, while Audrey wore a pink princess dress and literally every piece of play jewelry Abby owns--which, thanks to my Mom, is a LOT. If Audrey's mom approves, I may post pictures later--they are priceless.

Sunday morning, Audrey's parents Chad and Marla had a conference to go to, so they dropped their other daughter Avery, who is Ethan's age, at our house around 8. Matt and I had to get all 4 kids dressed and to church, then home, fed lunch and down for naps. Piece of cake! I could totally be the mother of 4--for 2 days, anyway. Then my head would probably explode from all the gray hairs coming out of it so fast. The kids were great, though, so it ended up really being fun. Yesterday afternoon and evening was spent mostly in recovery.

Today Ethan is covered in spots, but the doctor's office tells us it's a common reaction to the shots he received last week. Abby was grumpy this morning because she wanted to stay home and be Snow White and eat Valentine's candy all day, but a mother can only tolerate so much.
