3springbeans: February 2012

Can't believe it's February already. The last few weeks we have been consumed with battling viruses in our house. Everyone here managed to catch a bad cold and relentless, exhausting cough at almost the same time. Little Amelia had us all quite frightened with a 6 day fever. She was diagnosed with pneumonia last Thursday and is finally being treated and recovering fast. Her charming personality has returned and life once again seems almost back to normal here for us all. Amelia is crawling all over the place these days and pulling up on everything. She now traveling along the furniture - soon a walking cutie! Maggie talked me in to getting her hair cut short and is sporting a new cute shorter length. I love it. She is very excited about her fourth grade mission project. We just booked a night at the mission and will enjoy a whole day there walking the grounds (she's going to be SO surprised!) Sam is fabulous. He is really excited about reading right now and I really enjoying our reading time together in the evenings. He is so proud of himself and is gaining so much confidence. We are going to be signing the kids up for swim again this year and are considering signing them up for the swim team. We are really looking forward to our first summer with Amelia and our first dog, Cobie. I'm so happy they are here with us.
