I'd be remiss if I didn't note that the last two months or so have been a little rough for our little family. Jack came down with his first ear infection in late October that went away in a few days, but came back a week later...and then stuck around for a month! After 4 medications, we finally kicked its butt, but not without a trip to the ENT to discuss tubes. Shortly after that was Thanksgiving, and the weekend after the holiday, Jack, Kate, and Mommy all had a vomiting episode. All seemed well until the end of that same week Kate had issues coming out the other way (I know, ew!) that wiped her out. The girl's been sick only once in her life, so it was hard for her to take, but she sure tried to be a trooper through it all. Just as we were happy to get our happy girl back this past weekend, Jack woke up with a fever. We're watching for the ear tug but nothing yet.

Whew. So, my point is this - it seems we have very few pictures from the last few months. It certainly explains my lack of posting. And below I was able to find some happy faces that make me smile, despite the rough patch.
