Lots of Stuff

We have lots of things to catch you up on. Our Internet was acting goofy, so we got behind. Here goes our long update...

Croup
Saturday night Jack started barking like a seal. Mom wasn't comfortable with the noise, so we headed to the doctor first thing Monday morning. It turns out Jack has the croup. It's viral, so we're waiting it out. Jack's feeling a bit under the weather, but he's still just as cute as a seal! :-)

Ladybugs
Dad came home yesterday for lunch accompanied by a ladybug. First I took a turn with the little bug...

...and then Jack took a turn. We suspected Jack wasn't a fan of bugs, but yesterday the suspicion was confirmed. Jack does NOT like bugs. (Over on the movie blog you can hear and see Jack's feelings. And, let me tell you, he's got lots of feelings regarding bugs!)

Postcards
Grandma Carolyn is on a short-term missions trip to France. Yesterday we found some postcards in our mailbox. They came all the way from Amsterdam. Apparently Grandma Carolyn had a layover in Holland and was thinking of us.

We taped the postcards to the empty wall in our room. Finally we have a few decorations on the wall!

Bread and Jam
This book is one of our favorite books. Mom thinks Mrs. Z. out in California sent it to us a while back, but she could be mistaken.

Anyway, yesterday for snack we had bread and jam while Mom read us the book. It was very fun to eat bread and jam while reading a book about bread and jam!

Closing
Last, but not least, we officially closed on our old house this morning. Due to some last minute changes, we had no babysitter. Jack and I tagged along for the fun. We're fine about the whole thing, but Mom is feeling a little bit sad. She knows it was time to move on, but she really did love that house! The people who bought our house seemed very nice and promised to take good care of it. Mom's trying to remember there is probably something just as perfect out there waiting for us. We'd better start looking!
