Illness Update

Thank you to all for your prayers for Miss . . . she is doing better, but is still in a wretched mood because of her lingering cough. Miss does not handle being sick very well. She finds it all very frustrating, and exclaims every few hours that she is still not better, and may not ever be any better.

Master, on the other hand, is now in the midst of the worst of the sickness, with a terrible cough. He is having trouble sleeping, and sounds *so* very pathetic.

The littles were doing well enough yesterday to take part in a very short trip to the St. Paul winter carnival with Daddy. Here they are, bundled up and ready to go:


They saw ice sculptures and visited the "Hotdish Tent," and returned home before the deep freeze began to set in around here. We're hoping that a few days of rest at home will return the little ones to normal, and that Mr. and I can continue to avoid the ick.
