Fever times three

The first of December is this Friday and we are still not in our house. Closing has been extended over and over so we have no clue when we will finally move. We aren't up for the big move this week anyway. All three kids are super sick and Brian is staying home tomorrow to help take them to the doctor and to get a little rest for himself. This is a good thing considering the temp outside has dropped fifty degrees in less than an hour. We have gone from short-sleeved shirts outdoors to heavy winter coats in literally minutes. Gotta' love the great Midwest weather!
Quick updates on the kids - Isaac wrote "I love you Mama" on the little writing toy (will attach a picture tomorrow). He made a great "I". Isaac loves the letter "I". Sophia is talking better and more clearly each day. When asked who Tim and Monica's new baby was this past weekend (beautiful baby by the way!) she responded, "My cousin Ruby...he my friend." Of course, later she was convinced he was her brother. We're working on that. Tonight she told me that Isaac was her "boy sister". We're getting it sorted out. Brother. Sister. Cousin. Whatever. All Sophie cared about was holding that newborn baby. She's such a mama's helper. As for Jack he is WALKING! The best is that he reaches for Sophia and goes to her. She hugs him when he finally reaches her with his baby steps. I have to get it on tape. The kids are all at such cute ages. I wish it didn't go by so quickly. Jack was a newborn like Ruben just yesterday, wasn't he???? Now, he's walking?!?!?! When did I blink?

Aren't kids incredible. I love my job. I need to see a recent picture of your kiddos. How ya doing? Haven't talked to you recently. I'm just sitting here preparing for the 12 inches of snow we're apparently getting. Who knows. Talk to you later!

KARI!!!! I love snow...but we are only getting ice at this point in time. Its's still white and pretty - that's all I care about! We'll be indoors for awhile - two out of three kids have strep according to the doctor today. Sigh.

Hey---I need your new address. Can you please send it to me. Next time I venture to St. Louis I will be sure to let you know (which means I also need your phone number). To be perfectly honest, I don't venture out much. Since July I have been to St. Louis twice (each for only a day) and KC once. But occasionally I let loose and venture out. Talk to you later.
