After a brief hiatus

It’s been a tough few months in the Marker house, but I think (hope) that we are beginning to see a little light.  Since January the kids have been sick 4-5 times.  We’ve had a virus that caused high fevers, strep throat, pink-eye, a stomach virus and horrible colds that caused Evie some horrible nose bleeds.  It’s been rough!  Now that spring is here, I’m hoping we can have a healthy few months.  Heck – I’d settle for a healthy few days at this point!

Despite the illnesses, we have tried to do some fun stuff over the past few months.  We celebrated Valentine’s Day.  We celebrated Pops and Avi’s birthdays at the end of February.  We had a visit from Aunt Julie.  We’ve had indoor picnics and done arts-and-crafts.  We’ve built a snowman and played at the park (in the same week no less – Thanks Ohio!)  We’ve taken walks around the neighborhood and attempted to fly kites.  We went to Easter Family Fun Day at Evie’s school and we celebrated Evie’s 4^th birthday.  Now that I think about it, it really hasn’t been so terrible.  I forgot about the good times we had amidst all the sickness.  I’m glad I took some pictures of it all!
