I know...there is a HUGE gap in the blog pictures...like about 2 weeks. Lannie probably passed 10 milestones that went undocumented in that time...We have been hit super hard with sickness and taking a picture to document the longest 2 weeks of my life was, well, not a priority.  Preston had double pneumonia and double ear infections, Nessa had respiratory infection and double ear infections, and Lannie had respiratory infection and is STILL fighting off an ear infection. We are on our 3rd round of antibiotics and a roceffin shot today (Tuesday).  We are keeping our fingers crossed that this works.  We have had to cancel 2 trips and lots of fun times because of this bummer sickness.  We CAN NOT WAIT for spring!! Only 11 more days! Whoot-whoot! Although, as I look out my window tonight, it is currently snowing...ugh! Well, this is Iowa, and so tomorrow it could be 65 and sunny...I'll keep my fingers crossed on that too!! :) So, my deepest apologies to my grandparents and our parents...since I'm pretty sure they are the only remaining blog followers left!!
