A week of 1st's!

What a week! The kids had a GREAT time in Florida and have lots of pictures (and stories). However on the trip home they picked up some kind of sickness!! Samuel came home with a cough, Abby started on Thursday with a fever and had it until Saturday night. I started with fever/cough on Saturday and Isabelle started on Sunday. Brian came down with it Sunday night and fortunately Claire has stayed strong! Today (wed) we are starting to come out of everything, so we will be back to posting pictures in a week or so!

Claire has survived her first family illness (so far!), she has had her first days of crying herself to sleep, she has given us her first smile--though hard earned because she is not happy about us putting her down for any reason! Hopefully we will be able to capture some of these firsts on camera for you to enjoy. Until then, cover your mouths, wash your hands, and by all means DON'T TOUCH THE BABY.
