Some of you have heard how we were shown at Ruby's 7 month doctor visit that she had gained 2 lbs. since her 5 month visit, but had barely grown 1/2 inch in length. Yep. She's fat. But she's growing now (and more active to boot). I was just informed by the editor that the head piece is not being retired. It's too sweet.
I wish the weather here could make up it's mind. We've had everything from negative 20 to 60 (all in one week). It seems that every week we've had some in the teens and some in the 50s. The girls are tired of being cooped up in the house and we are looking foreward to warmer and more active March (fingers crossed).
School for me has been rough this last month, but I continue to be amazed at what Statistics has to offer. I just have to step back occasionally and not get bogged down in the math to see what an amazing field I have the priviledge of studying. It really is beautiful stuff.
A few weeks ago Megan woke up and couldn't move her head and the back of her neck was swollen. We were very blessed to find a good chiropractor. She has most of her range of motion back now and is feeling much better. We look forward to having her back to normal (though the chiropractor thinks that the last time she was normal was probably when she was 15). The X-rays of her back were cool. I wish I had a copy of them to post so you could see her twisted spine. Though I'm afraid mine looks similar. Because of all this we have renewed our T'ai Chi practicing. I hope you enjoy the video of Anne and what she has been getting out of all this.
This past week I had a viral eye infection. It was terrible. My left eyelid started swelling up on Monday morning and by Tuesday morning it was swollen shut. Thankfully on Thursday morning the swelling was down a little and I could read again.
With the frustrations that come from trials like those of the last few weeks I have a greater appreciation for the bodies we have and look foreward to resurrection when we will have perfect bodies. I was thinking about the scripture in Ether where Christ tells the Brother of Jared that he gives men weakness so that we will be humble. I am thankful for the weak and imperfect body that I have that reminds me of my nothingness before God.

Super cute! The girls are getting so big! Why do they have to grow up so darn fast?
I'm glad we aren't as cold as you are, but am really looking forward to the heat and the sun.
Ruby is using the walker! This makes me very happy! They look so darling in their little tutu's and I loved hearing Anne's sweet voice in the video- we miss you guys- hopefully you are done being sick!!
Holy cow! I'm glad you guys are doing better now. Nothing makes me feel more thankful for good health than not having it for a while. I love the tutu's. Ruby looks so big!
Laurynn and Alayna are reading this post with me, and we all thoroughly enjoyed Anne's Tai Chi video. We agree with Bree--we miss you guys, but I'm glad for the video; it makes you seem closer since we get to hear and see our sweet little Anne.
Sorry about all the infections and neck problems. When it rains, it pours, I guess. Hopefully it will be smoother sailing for a while in that department.
Ruby is getting so big! I'm amazed at how different she and Anne are in their appearance--but they are both so sweet and cute.
Good luck with school and everything else. We send our love.
What a great video. She is definitely your kid! We love and miss you guys. I hope you all start feeling better soon!
