Mallory is in pre-kindergarten this year (the Bumblebee room), and Carson graduated from the Inchworm room and is now a big Caterpillar!

Update 11/11/09

November 11, 2009

First of all – Happy Veterans Day!
Secondly – the bug has been making the rounds in our house. Mallory was ill last week, and then Rick came home from the game Saturday with the pukies and then I had a version of it yesterday.
I feel a million times better this morning so hopefully we are all on our way to being well.
More to come tonight.
