We just got our pictures back that we had taken by a professional photographer (Sandra Coan) about a month ago. The pictures came out beautifully. I really love them. Grandparents – we got each of you a little wallet size book we will be sending to you shortly. I posted all the pictures on flicker: click here
Here are a few more of our favorites:

We have had a tough go round with Holden and his illnesses. His rash turned a bit worse, but no fevers and he was acting as happy as could be, however I was freaked out. He was sleeping better and his ears even cleared up a bit.
A week ago went to see the Ear, Nose, & Throat doctor to see about getting tubes. We decided to hold off a bit, then two days later he woke up in the middle of the night crying again. We thought it was the ears again so we decided to do the surgery. However Thursday we went back to the dr for yet another rash and the Dr. said it just looks like he has sensitive skin and it wasn’t anything to worry about. He also said that one of his ears is clear and the other has fluid but no infection. Now what? He said lots of times if you can make it until April (end of cold season) you won’t have problems for awhile. Anyway the surgery is still scheduled, but may not happen.
In other news, I just got a new laptop, so now I don’t have to go into the basement to use the computer (which never happened). Hopefully now I will be able to blog more often. Of course the kids are going to have to watch out, because I am currently sitting her typing and just saw Holden fall backwards off a toy. Not to worry though, Colin went over to console him with a “It’s OK” and then a tackle.
It has been pretty nice here recently – in the mid 50s and no rain. We definitely have to start working on the patio because the boys always want to go out there and right now it is a mess.
Tidbits:
Colin just leaned in the door and said “Don’t worry mom, I am being patient.” I replied “Patient for what?” Colin “For my hair to grow.”
Holden just stacked two blocks up and then used a third to knock them down. Right now he is very into putting things in containers, seeing what fits where, etc. He gets really mad that he can’t fit into the storage hatch of his retro rocket.
