Happy Valentine's Day!

I think I am getting better! Yesterday I was able to spend the morning on a friend's couch (thank you!) instead of my own. I also was able to sit up for a while when another friend stopped by our house in the afternoon (thank you too!). This morning I braved Target for Valentine's Day cards, etc. and actually survived. I wasn't feeling great by the end of it, but I didn't have to leave early either. I'm sick of writing about this, so I just want to update and say I'm moving in the right direction. Thank you all for the meals, Sonic, visits, couches, calls, emails and messages. I wish it didn't take something like this to remind me of how blessed I am. Nevertheless, I am very grateful for such a wonderful community of friends and family around me. I am so lucky.

Here are some cute pictures of the kids: Nate is so ready for bed.

Abbie was sick and actually let me straighten her hair. She's adorable.

Wow.
