What We've Been Up To

We've spent the last two weeks very sick with pink eye and the flu. Spending so much time at home, however, has afforded some of us a little extra time for creativity. Pictured below:

Grace-Found herself an adhesive alternative to band aides.

Christmas

Admittedly, the frequency with which I post pictures is entirely inadequate. I like to tell myself it is because I'd rather spend time doing more important things, such as reading to my kids. Shamefully, here are the two pictures we took at Christmas.

The first is a chair that James and I re-upholstered. It was my mom's when she was little. The second is a picture of Marie and Tessa in their indian wigs. Marie is Pocahontus, Tess is Princess Tiger Lily. Grace's bare chest is part of her costume.

Why Allie Hasn't Posted in a While

Reason #1

Grand Valley Marathon, May 8th. Anyone who wants to do the 5K, 10K, full or half marathon can let me know and I'll e-mail you the training schedule.

Reason #2

Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet, February 3. Military theme. It's going to be intense. Anyone know where I can get a tank for the church parking lot? (You only think I'm kidding.)
