Ahhh Choo

We all have been ahhh chooing a lot this past week (sneezing).  Andrew and Lily like to play a game where we all say ahh choo really loud and pretend to sneeze.

Bobby has been battling a sinus infection since Christmas.  This was his first time to get one and it has been rough on him.  Andrew had a cold and ear infection and then Lily and I cought a mild form of the cold earlier this week.  Thankfully Bobby was off to help around the house, and now we are all back to normal.

I have loved all of the snuggles that came from the colds.  Andrew would lay on the couch and snuggle while watching Elmo movies.  Lily let me and Bobby rock her to sleep, I love hold a sleeping baby.  Plus every one slept later in the morning and took good long afternoon naps.  So Bobby and I were able to get plenty of rest and get better too.

 Rocking my baby.
 Andrew loves to be in the garage, Bobby sets up a little work area for him and lets him practice hammering real nails with real tools and other cool man stuff.  I have noticed that Andrew will drag a chair any where to jump in and help.  This morning he helped me make his eggs for breakfast.
 I love how Bobby enjoys Andrew tagging along with him and teaching him.  Bobby is already collecting tools for Andrew when he gets older and talks about when Andrew will get his own little corner of the garage to keep his tools in.  One of Bobby’s favorite presents to receive as a child was a red craftsman toolbox that he got when he was around 8 years old.  He still uses and the tools that were in it.
My men hard at work, while Lily and I rested.  Bobby was using his new sharpening stones to sharpen a chisel that he has had since he was 8 years old.  Andrew is hard at work practicing his eye hand coordination and fine motor skills :) or just hanging out with dad.
