Back on Track

I have been going through blog withdrawals! We had probably the most insane/busy/tiring week in our lives this past week. Where to begin? Let's start with the children, shall we? :-)
Caitlin finished up her Kids Inc. basketball session this past Sunday. Her team only won 2 games, but they improved a ton over the entire course of practices and games. She loved playing and looks forward to signing up again in the spring. She also wants to try softball, so I'm sure that's next. Caitlin also had a major project due this past Friday--a report on foxes that had to include a setup of a fox and his natural habitat inside a cardboard box. Thankfully Daddy found what she needed in time!
Caroline pulled a real doozy on Friday. She has been climbing up in the dining room chairs and stealing apples from the fruit bowl on the table. Fun trick. She did so in front of me, and I went ahead and let her sit in the chair and eat it while I talked to my brother on the phone. As I ended the conversation and turned to lay the phone down, she tried to get out of the chair. She slipped, fell, and hit her face on the corner of the chair---AND she bit completely through her chin (right underneath her bottom lip). I was horrified! Thank goodness Jill and Steve were home and could come help me out. Needless to say, we didn't take her anywhere---but, she has a dental appointment already this week, so I'll mention it to them when I take her in. :) All teeth are still intact, so no worries. Caroline is now climbing EVERYTHING. I can't use the pack-n-play anymore because she figured out how to get out! Sheesh!
Christian has been the only easygoing one lately. Nothing to report for him---just that he is as healthy as a horse, which is a huge answer to prayer!
As for Momma and Daddy---I was down for the count with the flu from Tuesday evening through Thursday evening. I have now fully recovered and am back in the swing of things. John fought flu-like symptoms on Thursday evening, but with a lot of powerful prayer, he was perfectly fine by Friday morning. Yeah! Now if we can get through Valentine's and the rest of this month, we'll be good! I hope you all have a wonderful week!
