Monday, February 3rd

Well it's Monday and Mike headed back to work.   We are all still in a brain fog even though we seem to be getting our sleeping times back to normal.   Emmy slept a little better Saturday night and was up from 2-5 so 2 hours shorter than the night before.   Last night she slept straight through the night and hopefully that will continue but we know that it's highly unlikely that it will.   

Eli is still really sick running a fever, congested, and coughing.   I took him to the doctor today but he said that it was not the flu but only an upper respiratory virus.   Ella and Emmy have a low grade fever today so we are praying that they quickly get over any germs they may have.   I am still really congested but much more functional than I have been.   

Emmy is still adjusting well to the family and to the house.   I thought it would be a while before she would be comfortable wandering around the house and exploring but Saturday she would toddle around looking into rooms and trying to open a few doors.   She enjoys all of the toys around but enjoys the attention of her brothers and sister more.  She also likes to get a reaction from her Daddy.  She likes to see what kind of face or noise he will make if she throws or drops a toy.  She laughs the most if she throws something or if she dumps something out and her siblings say "ahhhh!"   

Landon, Ella, and Eli are great with Emmy playing with her but also allowing her space to do her own thing.  Emmy calls for Ella very often and on Sunday while Ella was at church Emmy continued to call for Ella to play with her.   I couldn't have asked them to do any better or be any more understanding than they have been.   

We are really ready to all feel better and at least make it out of the house for some fresh air.   We hope each of you are doing well!   Thanks for all of the yummy food and sweet emails!
