What's Up?

We're coming out on the other side of the FLU around here.  

Not fun.  

Grace had it back in November and then Brian got it shortly after we returned from our cruise.  

I took a couple of pictures of the weapons we used to fight the flu . . . 

Assortment of juices (and Jon)

I also made up some home-made elderberry syrup.

Yummy!  (or not - depending on who you ask)

I was actually pleased with it and it tasted better than the one my friend sells at the health food store.  I made a batch without the honey for Gracie.  

We went to a wedding shower. 

She wouldn't smile. 

Maybe because Alyssa ate all of her goldfish crackers.

I got a new crock pot. 

What I made was not a huge hit. 

I'm not giving up.  

Never give up!  Never surrender!

I'll let ya know how it goes. 

We went to the park one day not too long ago. 

Faith and Gracie.  Grace was looking down the hill at the boys.

Scrabble Cheez-Its are pretty cool.

Grace took a nap one day.

She smiles!!

Our almost 40 year old water heater started dripping last weekend so we decided to put it out of our it's misery.

We headed to Home Depot (gasp!)

And Grace helped us pick out a new one.  

On Tuesday she slept while we picked up some pizza. 

And on Wednesday our friend came over 

Chevy meeting in the driveway

And installed our new water heater.  

(Yes, in the attic . . . )

Yay!  

Grace gets Peter.  

And that's what's up around here for the last several weeks.  

Stay tuned for more exciting things to come!
