Hi Everyone,

Things here are going well. Everyone has been healthy this week. It's been so wonderful. Justin is over the intestinal virus and has been eating like crazy to make up for it. This morning he ate half a bowl of my kind of oatmeal and an egg. And he slept 10 hours straight last night for the first time in his life. I'm so excited. He slept from 8-6. It we hadn't been awake with Katelyn in the night it would have been awesome. We're holding out hope that eventually everyone will sleep all night long. I don't think my body will know how to function sleeping 6 hours straight. Justin likes to say "gong gong gong" over and over. He always says it in threes. It's interesting. He also loves the bottle now and kicks and gets really excited when he sees one. He is still nursing but only 3-4 times a day now. It's liberating. He takes 3 bottles a day as well.

The girls are happy. They both are great bike riders as they've been practicing in the basement. Katelyn picked it up quickly.

Hans has been busy fixing the radon problem in the basement, installing an in-home humidifier (which I LOVE), and buying power tools and wood to make us a TV stand and do crown moulding. I'm grateful he's so handy.

We have a busy week coming up with doing Katelyn's birthday party and Ashley gets to celebrate her half-birthday in pre-school this week. We are getting our treats ready and valentines for the party at her school. It's all very exciting. The girls love stuff like this.

Hope all is well there,

Michelle
