After nearly 3 weeks, Will is finally feeling a bit more like himself. It all started the Friday before Christmas with a low fever and the sniffles. By the time the smoke had finally cleared, Will had been in the E.R. once, the doctor’s office 4 times, and got 2 shots?!?! How about that for a Happy Holiday! Seriously though, the poor guy had the croup, the flu twice, and middle-ear infections in both ears that took a while to respond to antibiotics – he wasn’t eating well, wasn’t sleeping well, and it was quite an interesting test for new parents. But… sunnier days are shining (we hope) as he helped his mom do some vacuuming and played a little with his toy piano over the weekend.

In other news, Jessica turned 30 on the 7th so she is finally a member of the 3 decade club. I took a couple of pictures of her that morning shortly after she awoke, but I have been threatened with bodily harm if they are published.
