I am glad to know that we only have one more week of January left. Of course, we still need to get through February, but then things tend to get better after that. January hasn't been too bad except that we have all been sick for the past couple weeks. It seems like we have had a few different bugs come through the house. (thankfully not any of them to do with the stomach) The boys are finally getting over their bad coughs so we are getting better sleep. Nate never really got any of the bugs. I guess that is the benefit of going to work everyday. I'm still fighting a nasty cough and stuffy nose, but I think the worst of it is over. I can't complain because we were so blessed to be healthy all through the holiday season. I guess we needed to take our turn with sickness. Anyways, enough about our boring lives. Here are some pictures of what we have been up to while confined to our house. We decided one night to break out our craft bin that the boys cousins, Soren and Ezra, gave them for Christmas. We all created birds out of various things from the bin. The boys had a ton a fun. Thank you Anna and family for the great gift.
This is as much of me as you are going to see for a few more months. :)
Another thing that was accomplished this month is that Gavin finally earned his Harry Potter Slytherin Robe. I think we bought it back in November and the challenge was for Gavin to read 7 books to earn it. (don't ask me why 7, that was Nate's decision) Anyways, he finally read his 7th book today and earned his new robe. Now we just have to figure out what will motivate Gavin to keep reading! :)

I am so glad you guys have enjoyed the craft bin, and glad to hear you are all begining to feel better. I am getting a little uncomfortable and can't believe it is kicking in with 3 months left to go! Hope your growing tummy isn't causing too much discomfort. Tell Gavin and Liam "hi" from Soren and Ezra.
not fair--i want to see pictures of your belly! (i need to know i'm not the only one growing at an amazing rate...)
I'm ready for some warmth too...and I bet you're a cute pregnant lady! Post some pics!!!
When I first read this, I thought that Gavin earned his robe by reading the 7 Harry Potter books and thought - wow he is amazing!! ( I am sure he really is amazing). What a cool motivator to keep the reading going. Whatever it takes. I must say, he is the cutest member of Syltherin there ever was. I hope you are feeling better. February is tomorrow!
Your hand bears an amazing resemblance to another hand I've seen in pictures from when we were growing up! Like Mother Like Daughter!
