GR Children's Museum

Penguin Play is at the GR Chrildren's Museum right now, and while we didn't get much time playing with the penguin set up, we had fun everywhere else. Simon got to crawl through a mirror tunnel, play with balls, and try out musical instuments.

We finally put some locks on all of our kitchen cupboards to keep Simon OUT! He helped Grandpa and Daddy install them : )

Simon has a rough life : )

Simon woke up this morning and promptly fell asleep by me in bed. Then he got to help mommy and grandma "sew". And he got to cuddle up in the down comforter and watch a little morning cartoons : ) Rough, isn't it?

Baby #2 update

Well, it looks like Baby G #2 will arrive at dawn on February 2. We have a c-section scheduled for 7:30am. We will also have an amniocentesis test which is scheduled for February 1, to check and make sure her lungs are ready for delivery. WOW only 8 more weeks!

SICK!

Well, our family overall hardly ever gets sick but what a week we have had. Simon ended up in Prime Care on Tuesday afternoon with a temperature of 104.4f and a double ear infection. On Wednesday I had a fever, sore throat, an ear ache, and pain. And then James acquired the lovely sore throat this weekend. WHAT FUN, WHAT FUN! Please pray that we all feel better this week : )
