Snapshots of the Three

This is what I saw in the rearview mirror on the way home last week. Jon was upset, but its the hand-holding in the very back that caught my attention.

Maddie and I visited my friend the other day and she came home with twelve new hairbows. Every single one in her hair and she was so excited about it.

The kids are getting to be really good at helping with certain chores. Maddie and Jon fight over who gets to put the clean silverware away (they both love it! -- now), and Ben likes stacking the clean plates. All three love taking things to the trash and putting their cups in or out of the fridge.

Sadly, we are back to breathing treatments. So far this week all three little ones have needed them at one point or another. This is poor little Ben. Although he's been pretty quiet and lethargic, Ben was quite the chatterbox carrying on and on after a breathing treatment around midnight last night. (Thanks for getting up, Allen!)

Not to be missing Will in the action, but he is at school most of the time. And when he is home, he is just WAY TOO COOL to let me take a picture of him without a ridiculous pose or intentionally distorted facial expression. If you look in the photo of Jon, you can see Will at the table coloring.
