Spring is in the air. So are the germs.

We are sick. We are tired. We have three kids all running fevers. We have been to the doctor 5 times in the last 3 weeks. ICK! Praying for good health to return soon.

Happenings around here other than trips to the doctor:
We decided to register the boys at a new school in the fall. FL offers Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten. Necessary? Hardly. But while we've thought about homeschool, we decided to give this a try in the fall. Why? We have the opportunity to send Connor to a private, Christian, top-rated school for FREE because VPK is state subsidized. It's 4 mornings a week and Keegan can go to the same school for preschool a couple days a week. Since I am driving Connor there any how, why not? For a while I stressed out thinking I had to have a long-term plan and we were committing to sending them out to school always. Then I settled down and realized that we can just take it one year at a time.

Latest news of the week:
Alan just wrapped up his T-1 training on Monday. He passed his check ride and came home with flowers for me and bottle of champagne. He's such an awesome hubby! So he isn't working until 11 or midnight every night (plus weekends) anymore. Hooray! Until he starts ACSC next week. Boo. There's always something pushing the pace around here. It makes me think of God's command to "Be still." That is SO hard!

Until my next post, here are some recent pictures of the kids playing at home:

The boys having breakfast.
Connor made Zoë comfy with his blanket and pillow so she could watch them play trains.
We are very serious about our Thomas trains.
Choo, choo!
Zoë got in on the Thomas train action. She has her own "girl" trains.

Hope you guys feel better soon! Zoe looks so much like the boys in the eating train picture. Glad Alan's done with one thing at least!
