Happy Middle of January!

It's so nice to see green

We didn't have any new recent photos, so I went back to the archives and grabbed a picture that made me think of warmer times. It also reminded me how much Emma has grown these last many months. We are only five or six weeks away from the batteries reporting to Spring Camp! How about that sports fans? Then Spring training starts the first of March, and we are off again. The Giants are no longer in last place.

Emma had a bit of a bug last weekend. It started Saturday when she felt a little out of sorts. She woke up at about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, and complained about her stomach. This is not at all like her. She may wake up once or twice, but she will go right back to sleep. It seems her stomach pains were tied to a case of the 24-hour quick trots (I will spare you most of the details). As Uncle Matt would say, "she had a case of the ruins." Denny and I tag-teamed our Sunday meetings, and Emma stayed close to the porcelain pony.

We got some of the correct liquids in her, and she responded splendidly. By Sunday night, she was well on her way to a full recovery. It may have had something to do with the Cowboys loosing, you never know. We were just glad she was feeling better. We took a trip to Hires tonight after FHE, and we all had a treat. Denny had a delightful day with her today, and Emma is luxuriating in the tub as I type.

It is nice to see the sun stays out a little bit longer now. The winter nights are getting shorter, and January is half done. It's the little things. OK then.

A good picture is always worth repeating. Thanks.

What? I'm only around for a few months out of the year and you complain about me? People in your church incessantly pray for me, so what do you expect. As Dr. Phil would say...get real.

Emma looks so young in that picture! I can't wait until it's warm enough to take these kids outside regularly again.

Thanks for the reminder of greener and warmer times! Our Em had the trots as well. I can really empathize with the fun! Bret is a Cowboys fan as well :) Emma is still cute!

It is nice to see green. I think you are right, Emma and Maylin do look alike. What province is she from?

Thank you for your ode to the middle of January-ness....although the picture of Denny and Emma almost makes matters worse it's so full of life, while we are stuck in......the middle of January!....with cold hands and feet and no blue sky, although "they" say it's going to be nice tomorrow (I feel like I sound like Garrison Keillor). Thanks for the great update!
Love,
Aunt Barbie
