Funky February

It seems like we spent most of February being sick. I was home from work, Mia ended up on at least 3 medications, and Finn had a nasty bug that just wouldn't go away. He went through cycles of being sick for 8-12 hours (fever, vomiting) and then would be fine for almost 24 hours. Just when we'd think he was on the mend, he'd have another "sick cycle." He was pretty miserable and so were we. Even our poor daycare provider had to take 3 days off. It seems like only Wes was able to fight off the germs. However, we were able to have a little fun in February. Grandpa and Grandma Pumpkin came to visit.

Finn loves playing music.

We met the DeHarts at the Urbana Indoor Aquatic Center for an afternoon of swimming. Apparently, you're not supposed to take pictures because I got reprimanded for snapping this one.

Ready for baseball season. Only a few weeks until spring training...

More music. He kept looking at the sheet like he was reading music.

Snowpocalypse 2K10

Also known as the Snowtorious B.I.G. Champaign Unit 4 shut down for two days based on the threat of the worst winter storm in recent history. We certainly did not get the 6-20 inches of snow that was predicted, but we did get freezing rain, sleet, and a few inches of snow. Springfield and Chicago got hit worse than us. Either way, we got to spend 2 days holed up at home with our kiddos. We had a great time and played with every toy in the house. We also...

played pool...

snuggled for naps...

drummed on pots with butter knives...

fed "Mia"...

and put her down for a nap...

made cookies...

and ate them.

Our new bedtime routine is to take baths and then snuggle in mommy and daddy's bed to read books. While Wes and I put some things away, Finn got started without us.
