Sick, but happy!

Hannah woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever. When she gets sick, she doesn't sleep well at night and sometimes becomes almost high-strung. I climbed into bed with her at 3 AM and buried my head under the pillow as she read books, played dolls, and ran back and forth from her closet to her bed with treasures. She finally passed out after about an hour and slept until 7:30. She then spent all day lying around, napping, and alternating between being cold and sweating.

Despite all this, she is usually extremely pleasant when she is sick. This evening I snapped a few pictures of her and Delaney reading poetry on the couch. Check out Hannah's short hair!

Having a sister is so much fun!

Doing the "FLAP"!

I walked into the living room to find JoJo and Hannah doing the FLAP! with the Wiggles on TV. Thus the flapping arms and jumping around. Who needs ballet when we have the Wiggles?

Cousins!

When Missy was in town this past weekend we all got together for dinner at my parents' house. The kids had so much fun playing together and being silly. Here are some pics.

This is Delaney and Sarah, my sister's daughter. Sarah is four months older than Delaney.

This is JoJo, Missy's son. He turned 3 in June.
This is JoJo, Delaney, Julia, Sarah, and Tyler. Julia and Tyler are my brother's kids. Hannah is M.I.A. in this picture.

Missy and Me... Getting closer!

Here we are again, two months later. My hair is darker, but otherwise, not much has changed! (except our weight!)

Crayola Time

This Tuesday Hannah's class took a trip to Easton, PA, to visit the Crayola Crayon factory. I was able to go and check out the place too. In addition to learning how crayons and markers are made, the kids had fun making various crafts (using Crayola products, of course) and touring the facility.

This was Hannah's favorite activity--painting with hot colored wax.
