\"Big<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I had heard it rumbling<\/b> on the tracks for several days, but on Sunday morning WHAM!  It his me like a freight train.  Yes, I was pretty sick.  I still have whatever-it-is, so I’m working on getting over that.  Hannah is starting to get better, though she still has a cough.  Nathanael had a bit of a fever tonight, so we’re just not sure about him.  We shall see what tomorrow holds.<\/p>\n

But in spite of it all, we’ve had some fun.  Last night Hannah and I made some big round crayons.  Today I got thinking, we need a BIG piece of paper to match the BIG crayons.  So, we covered the kitchen floor and had a major colouring session (for you Americans, that’s kind of like a coloring session, except more…well, Canadian!).<\/p>\n

I realized there weren’t too many recent photos of the kids online, so I pulled out the camera and tried to get a few.  Go and visit our album to see some recent shots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The young ones of the family have some big activities coming up, so hopefully they’ll be feeling better soon.  But other than being a little sick, they’re doing well.  Nathanael is learning new words and songs, and exploring the world as always.  Hannah is learning to read and write, and is quite excited about that.<\/p>\n

Shari enjoyed a bit of time off yesterday and today, working on some scrapbooking<\/a>.  And me?  Well, I’m caught under an avalanche of paperwork right now, so I’d better get on it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there’s a little overdue family update.  Nathanael seems to be doing a little better at the moment.  He’s playing in the living room and he’s – hey!  Nathanael – GET OUT OF THERE!  Gotta run…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
