On the up and up

We've had a little over a week of illness at the Bongorno estate. I had a cold, Nora has a quick cold, Nora had the flu, I now have the flu, and Chris has a cold. Nora's better, though, which is all that really matters, right? And C and I seem to be improving. Chris has been wonderful, taking on more than his fair share of work while I lie on the couch and go to bed early (he even let me watch trashy tv last night while he did our taxes! What a guy!). Yet more proof that I married a wonderful wonderful person. Thank you, baby.

Sickness has not made Nora any less cute, although significantly more whiney. One of her most adorable recent moments (this was before she was sick) was when she grabbed an entire head of broccoli out of the crisper and dove right in...







The snow FINALLY melted and we attempted to walk around in the backyard, only to find it strewn with melted dog poop. I guess that's what happens when you don't walk your dog for a week, huh?




And, Grandma Linda came to visit and brought Nora's kitchen with her! Nora and G'ma built towers and then N and I cleaned up the kitchen.



Nora is learning new signs every day - too many to keep up with, but perhaps proud Daddy B will grace us with a post about his favorite new sign. Hint, it's sports related.

Until then, I hope none of you get what we have!
