chicken sitting.
Some friends of ours traveled over Christmas, so David got to take care of their chickens: feeding and gathering eggs. The kids loved helping out and we all enjoyed those fresh, orange-yolk eggs.

our week.
It’s been gray and cold around here, and that coupled with a sick boy means we spent lots of time indoors this week. Judah has bronchitis and is on antibiotics and Motrin. As you can see, it didn’t keep him down too much … play and silliness still abounds in our house (Judah saw this pic I took and said, “Mommy, that’s my blank face”).
