Some photos

Here are a couple of photos showing that Elizabeth is indeed growing up.

The last week or so has been more than a little busy with winter illness befalling both Elizabeth and myself.

One thing I did learn last week was that Elizabeth has an amazing ability to motor on regardless of a fever. She had a high fever and NEVER stopped for a minute. At one point her fever reached 104.8 and SHE WAS STILL PLAYING. With a temperature of 102 I think she could compete in the Olympics.

It was a little disconcerting, I must say, to take her temperature and have it read 102 degrees and then see her running up and down the stairs and demanding to go out and ride her bike. The doctor said that there are kids who can just tolerate high fevers. Seems really odd to me. I know how exhausted I feel even with a temperature of 101.

Oh and she has definitely been expanding her vocabulary while teaching us to watch what we say. Yesterday I was cleaning out the refrigerator and had everything out on the counter. Elizabeth look at the pile of stuff and exclaimed, "Oh my God!". Marty quickly commented, "she didn't get that from me." Well, if that is the worst she repeats, we'll be lucky.
