Other Stuff

And some other random stuff that is worth blogging about:
Philip's little sister had a new baby girl and I was able to pop in and see her for just 2 days when she was one week old. You will have to be lucky enough to be subscribed to her blog to see all the pics.
Ben is saying all sorts of words and animal sounds. He loves Amelia's baby and will hold it and pat it's back. It's very sweet until he then stands up and throws her like a ball. He also enjoys showing us how strong he is by finding heavy stuff to pick up and drop. Philip thinks he will be a weightlifter when he is older.
Amelia is getting much better at swimming and likes to swim on her back like Annie does in the movie Annie. Annie was my favorite movie growing up and I am proud to say it is hers right now too. She loves Miss Hannigan and it makes me laugh that she is always walking around the house quoting her until she says something like, "kill kill kill" or refers to Ben as a "little pig dropping" and then I question if she should be watching this movie. We watched some pretty racy musicals growing up.
Everyone has had a bout of the flu in the last 2 weeks EXCEPT for me. (knock on wood) Amelia is still battling it, so we are seeing the dr tomorrow. We also get her allergy tests redone. Cross your fingers.
Philip is in his last year of school!!!!! It is less than a year until he is done with school, finals and the bar. All of us cannot wait. He is the school paper legal counsel and has done really well in his classes. This semester he is taking a mock trial course, so we will see how his feelings about being a trial lawyer are after this.
