The Plague

Germs invaded the Rogers' residence in September. Last weekend I took all 3 kids--and myself--to see "Dr. Kevin". Lucy, while still lovely in mood, was sporting a nice ear infection; Owen suffers from chronic allergic yuck; Mom suffers from insanity... or at least sinus infections and bronchitis. Mitchell walked out of the appointment with sympathy illness. ;)

I continue to suffer from the lifelong plague of sleeplessness. So here I am, after midnight, posting because these sweet kids of mine bring me happy thoughts. I can only hope they might bring me happy dreams at some point.

These are some cute pix from September.

Mitchell has been taking swimming lessons and seems to be doing quite well, as long as he swims under water. Apparently he is much more of a thrasher with his head above the drink. His highlight of the class is getting to wear his goggles.

He still loves Kindergarten. He was very excited about an ice cream party that his class earned today. He did lose the other top front tooth last week, so now he has a gaping hole in his smile.




Owen is making nice progress with Preschool. There have been many mornings that he is carried down the hallway at school from my room to his, and he just cries and cries. That hasn't happened as much this week.... and today he had a super fabulous day on all counts--he used the potty at school, he was sharing well, and no tears! YAY!







Lucy--wow--almost a year old already. It's so hard to believe. We'll have a small party for her Saturday. I am sure she'll give us a good show with the cake. She is an excellent eater. She walks along things right now, transfers between objects, and she can stand up without holding on to anything.... she is thinking about those first solo steps, but isn't so sure just yet. She is starting to copy sounds. She says "mmmmmm" for moo, copying her brothers as we drive past Ray's farm on our way home.
