After four days of two sick kids, we are all starting to feel better today! Millie's cold progressed to a bad runny nose and croupy cough and then she passed it to Blaise and me. His first cold, poor little guy. He's faring well though, and is in good spirits today despite a runny nose. I have only had the sore throat, so I'm not sure if that's all I'll get yet.
We ventured to the library today because Millie wanted to get some Curious George books. When we got there they were all checked out! Luckily, I found one misshelved, and she was very happy that we at least found one! Her love of books is genuine (which makes Andy and I so happy!) and immediately upon coming home from the library she ploped herself on the sofa, still in her jacket, and started reading all of the books we checked out. She is still a huge Finding Nemo and Cars fan, but we are slowly adding in other things again like, Curious George. She is also learning independent imaginative play, which I attribute to her going to preschool, where she doesn't have Mommy or Daddy to play with her. I certainly will miss her preschool when we leave Beaufort and have to start working on getting her into a preschool in Norfolk.
Speaking of leaving Beaufort, we found out this week that Ann (the woman that Andy is replacing here in SC) will be back in the U.S. on February 6th! She will take two weeks of leave and then will return to work. So, they have told Andy that he should be done here by latest, March 1st. This is great news because our apt. lease ends Feb. 25th and instead of extending it, we decided that the kids and I would go back to VA on the 25th. So even if Andy can't come home with us, he'll only be here by himself for a few days. My parents will be here visiting for the month of February and they will help me move back to VA on the 25th.
I had an appt. for Blaise to have some portraits taken on Wednesday, but had to cancel the appt. since we were all sick. I will try to reschedule it for next week. I want to get a 4 month picture of him since he can push himself up while lying on his tummy. I owe grandparents pictures of him, and a more recent shot of Millie, and will work on that when we get back home. Here is a pic of Blaise being read to by Andy. We are try to read to him as much as we did to Millie at a young age. His favorite is his truck book.
