It’s been three weeks, and Blake’s already got a respectable collection of faces that he likes to flaunt.

My family came to town and shoehorned into our house for a week of crazy fun. Poor Kate was still healing up when she was struck with a stomach bug and spent the better part of two weeks confined to our room.

The girls helped keep the house in order while Kate was down and they did a great job of managing the meals. Dad fixed the damaged wall in the dining room and gave it a fresh coat of paint. Caleb helped me get further on my lightbox project… and we scoped out the future craft room for Kate. Next time hopefully the basement will be finished so that Caleb and Emily don’t have to sleep with the spiders.
