Poor 'baby' is sick

Well, Laura turns 2 weeks old on Sunday. It hard to believe. Auntie Kim came to visit this past week for 4 days and was a tremendous help, as I have a cold. To remedy the imbalance of photos of Laura v. Claire, we had a friend (Michelle) and professional photographer come over today to photograph Laura. She spent 3.5 hours shooting photos which was amazing. We'll get to see the photos in about 2 weeks. (The picture on the right is of Claire giving Baby Laura a kiss on the head - one of Claire's favorite things to do).

So, as I noted above, I have a cold. This year is the first year I started using that purell stuff, on a regular basis, to clean my hands often. And as luck would have it, this is the first year in 3 years, that I have been sick. The hardest part about being sick is not how crappy you feel, but how little sympathy you now get from your spouse (the mother of a newborn and a 2 year old :) ). Ok, the hardest part is not being able to hold and play with your kids.

There are new photos posted here.

Lastly, if you have a moment, please think about and pray for the people of Chile. I have emailed many friends there (some who live near the epicenter) and have not heard from anyone yet.
