They fixed Jingles?!

These last few days have been pretty calm (and seriously, SERIOUSLY cold.  Like, -60 degree windchill cold.  Just crazy!) and with the calm came some sickness in our home.  Poor Landen has been kind of pathetic and puny - lying around and wanting nothing but cuddles, which I am not complaining about, however if you know my boy, that is not normal!  So, I've been skirting my laundry responsibilities (surprise, surprise!) to snuggle with him.  And I don't regret it in the least!  

See those rosy red cheeks?  Those are fevery, not feeling good cheeks!  It was all we could do to get him to smile for the camera!

Over Christmas vacation, we managed to lose (again!)  Braeden's lovey.  The first time was his baby blankey (which I still miss so much sometimes!) a year and a half ago or so.  This time, it was his red puppy, Jingles, and we still haven't found it.  He has been crying on and off since Christmas when he realizes again that it's missing.  Jon came to the rescue, though, and found another online and ordered it.  Braeden received his package in the mail the other day and this snuggle/kiss/cheering-fest ensued.  He was SO happy to have his puppy home!  He actually believes it was his old puppy and decided that someone found it and fixed the loose threads for him.  It was so sweet that we didn't correct him, so he still believes this!

 And last, but certainly not least, I've been following this sweet girls' story since the beginning.  Kate  is just a little older than Emerson, so it seems to hit home every time I read more of her story.  If you can, please pray for her.  www.prayforkate.com
