Eight Weeks

It's been a low-key week as we all recover from various illnesses over the holidays. We're happy to report that everyone is back to 100%, finally, and (knock on wood) we hope to stay healthy for the rest of the winter.

Holiday time meant having Daddy home for an extra-long weekend, so we spent lots of quality family time together. Here are some pictures of the kids having fun around the house:

Alex asks, "I'm related to her?!"

Today is Kira's eight week birthday! She's delighting us with lots of smiles and even some laughs...she clearly enjoys watching her big sister and brother entertain her. Mommy and Daddy wish she'd sleep a little m0re (and eat a little less frequently) but as far as eight week old newborns go, she's still a relatively easy baby.
So while it's been a quiet week here, it's been one filled with laughs, happiness and, most importantly, health!
