this cold hit amelia pretty hard, as it has me & adeline. UGH. wes seems to be improving (it appears that he gave it to us), so we have about 2 more days of minor illness & then hopefully we will all feel better by christmas. wes & i split shifts last night with amelia...i took from 11 until 4 am & he took from then until morning...sleeping in the nursery rocking chair, hmmm, not so comfortable at times (i think my neck will look normal by tomorrow from sleeping in an odd sideways position in a ball for about an hour). then he let me sleep in our bed until 11 am! crazy! i haven't slept in that late, oh, maybe since before having kids?! but i was up with amelia about every hour, sometimes more...suctioning out her nose & such, as was wes from 5:30 until 8 am. but he says he's feeling great, so...

with this knowledge we are now very glad we didn't visit my parents & infect them with our cold...so dad, we are sorry to not be able to be with you right now, but trust me, you don't want this in addition to your surgery!

we had the intention of videotaping the girls yesterday & today...but, shucks darn it, we are out of video! how is that possible on the day we need it?? so i went back in the archives & found some stuff to play around with. this one that you will see is of addy. i will make one of amelia soon, we just need to get some more video of her (besides the stuff of her being "played with" my her sister). i'm having a grand time figuring this video stuff out, so i'm doodling with all the effects & such, seeing what happens. so bare with me.
