Hooray for spring! I don't know about all of you, but January and February were a little overdrawn for us.... To end off the year Quincy was diagnosed with Mononucleosis (who knew a 5 year old could get "the kissing disease"? I don't know WHO she has been kissing, but....) :)

We were glad she didn't miss very much of school because of winter break. Finally getting a confirmed diagnosis was a little traumatic, including 2 separate blood draws because the wrong tests were ordered, but we made it, and hopefully quarantined ourselves well enough that we didn't spread it to others! January and February continued with the sickness.... coughs, colds, fevers, possibly RSV?, breathing treatments, heating pads, and lots of medication-- we are SO glad to finally have the sun come out and be able to get some fresh air!!

In addition to finally having everyone healthy, we are also happy to announce that Valynn is pregnant again. Lots of people are surprised that we are pregnant again so soon but we are now about 17 weeks along and so far everything is going well. We are scheduled for our 20 week ultrasound the last week of March and hope to be able to report all is well then, as well. We are all very excited and surprisingly our girls did a pretty good job keeping "our secret" quiet.

Quincy has lost 2 teeth and her top teeth are starting to get wiggly. Eleanor is writing her name, has become very reliable in making her bed to earn money to put in our LETS GO TO DISNEYLAND SAVINGS TIN. Benjamin has discovered how to climb out of his crib, is communicating fairly effectively and is not afraid to give you his opinion. He also wants to do everything himself and Brandon is almost positive he has OCD regarding hand washing.
