* Illness has been lingering in the Bronsten household, especially for our little Ruby. =( Besides her ear infection, she has had a couple of feverish/ flu-like days about 2 weeks apart and another round of antibiotics for a sinus infection. I am cautiously optimistic that we are free and clear of illness for the time being.
*In between illnesses WW3 sibling edition was waged. Joseph and Ruby have been at each others throats, tormenting each other, and causing havoc. Not easy for mom to blog when her children are having a knock down drag out fight! Why can't we all just get along?! Or at least steer clear of each other? But I am starting to see signs that a peace treaty is in the works as they are starting to play together a little more often. They are currently playing "parade" as I type. =)
*Joseph has started t-ball. I will do a seperate blog about that soon, but just FYI: his team is called the Dodgers (he wanted it to be the "Race Cars", but lost the vote). It has been a whirlwind of glove-buying, practice-going, team-mom sign uping......yes, you read right I signed up to be a team mom (one of two), did you have any doubt I would jump in with both feet? Here's a first glimpse at our little slugger at his first practice....the outfield is a bit slow for his taste, can you tell?
Dan and I celebrated on the 13th with dinner and a movie. Here we are, enjoying our evening.
On the 14th we had a family Valentine's celebration. Heart shaped food abounded. Heart pancakes, heart cookies, and heart pizza.
*The following weekend, President's Day, since Joe had some time off of school, we headed up to Grandma Bronstens for a visit. We had a great time and did so many fun things with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Emily, and cousin Addy. But I think I will do a seperate post just about that trip, so be looking for it!
