Things are going okay here, unfortunently David caught Killy’s horrible cold from last week so now he feels rotten. I actually succeeded in making him take the day off so far! That rarely happens. So, he’s been upstairs in bed and I’ve been down on the couch with the kiddos all day. [...]

Just a quick update: Ellie is doing great, Killy is almost over his cold, but I’m not feeling well… We had a lovely week-long visit with Mom and Dad and it was sad to see them go, as always. But, we’re going to VA for Christmas in less than a month, so we’ll [...]
