Sniffly Salutations

Hopefully no one has forgotten about us. Between a prolonged bout of illness in the house and mother’s general laziness in helping me type, there hasn’t been an update in much too long.

As I noted, we were all ill with colds, coughs, and who knows what else. It got so bad that mother went on a cleaning frenzy, getting the carpets and ducts all professionally done in order to remove what she denoted as “allergens”. Personally, I think the cold made her a little crazy. Dad agrees. In any event, the house smells of Lysol now so I like to go the local park to escape.

Otherwise we have been back in daycare where Darwin and I each preside over a different room of our peers. I clearly rule the toddler room and Darwin is in charge of the babies. Mom and dad meanwhile are doing sufficiently in their studies and there is only six months until they achieve their first degree.

We have also been on a couple trips. One to Grande Prairie to visit my much loved extended family, and another to Bonnyville to visit my much loved Ripkens grandparents. Darwin isn’t yet used to long rides in the van, so I hold his hand to soothe him. Being a big sister is a large responsibility after all!
