Winter in Wisconsin

So we are just continuing to move along in life here in Wisconsin. The kids have been fighting off every illness known to man it seems like these days. Lucas has had the stomach flu for the second time this past week. Emma has been spending a lot of time with her nebulizer machine. Her asthma symptoms have been flaring up here and there causing sleepless nights and crazy kid days. Even with being sick, both kids are loving life and just keep on going.

Lucas is now crawling on hands and knees and is abandoning the army crawl. He also is getting used to putting himself to sleep at night, not really wanting to rock as much. He loves feeding himself real food more than he loves baby food.

Emma came home from school last week talking about baptism. She told us where it happened and all about the water and the Word. It's been so neat to listen to her as she continues to grow not only in her academics, but also in her faith. She frequently tells people about how Jesus is in her heart and He loves her and everyone else. She talks about all the things that God has made. The faith of a child is truly amazing!

Tim and I have been very busy with school, open houses, grades being due, and going to basketball games. Tim's been working hard on his graduate program application and hopes to get it done soon so that he can get that application in the mail.

Enjoy a few pictures that Tim's been taking of the kids. He had been saving his Christmas money for years to buy his new camera. He loves it and it takes really great pics!

Here's Emma doing her "Duck Mask." This happens every morning and night right now!

Aren't I cute!
