We've Almost Made It


it's easy to say these last four days have been the longest ones EVER.  that might be a little dramatic, but only slightly.  thankfully the girl's fevers broke yesterday and mine was gone this morning. we survived this RSV thing. now, in a little less than 24 hours, dan's plane should touch the ground, he'll have a two hour commute back to columbia, and then he'll be home.  we've made it this far, weather, please don't get in the way!

the girls and i were pleasantly surprised to find a box with our mail this morning.  it was just what we needed.  aunt lindsay sent an early valentines day package to the girls and we sifted through it, pulling out a few things to help us get through today.  the rest will be taped back up and saved for V day itself.  one of the favorites was a pink cupcake shirt for sadie (notice our fort/tent in the background).  the girls love it.  sadie... will eventually. :)  



grace chose to eat her hearth shaped ring pop and madison wanted the little thingies you put in a bowl of water that turn into animal shaped sponges.  they couldn't get enough of either one and it kept them busy for quite awhile.  the picture above - cracks. me. up.  they really were happy, i promise.



i finally convinced the girls they didn't need a second bath today and they're very excited to try their new farm shaped sponges tomorrow.  thank you lindsay!! this was exactly what we needed to make it through today.

 

** and this just gives you an idea of what to do if you ever run out of kleenex.  dogs are good for something, right? ;)

Marie, It's been too long. Your girls are beautiful. Sorry about RSV. I have a 6 week old who has it, but it's not too bad and I was also sick on top of it :( love your doggie.
