Not much free time

I haven't had much time to post lately. It's been a little crazy at our house. Brent had ACL surgery on April the 3rd. I didn't realize how much help he was until I didn't have him. His mom came in for a few days and really helped out. She drove in with her mom, Libby, our newest little bundle's namesake. We had a great time getting to visit with both of them. Libby is now getting on more of a normal schedule, but I thought I may have to give up nursing last week--she wanted to eat all day long, and with an active 2 year old and a husband that couldn't do too much I was starting to lose it. She does sleep great at night(6 hour stretch!), and now is doing much better in the day. About this time Frances came down with viral pharyngitis. We have been trying to keep the girls apart, but Frances loves Libby so this has been a little challenging. We are on day 4 and this is supposed to last about 5 days, so we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was able to get out and go to church Wed night before Frances was sick and go to Bunco which was so nice-Frances went to the cowboy store with Mary Mac and Chet and had the best time--she loves the little horse purse Mary Mac got for her and really wants to go ride horses out at their farm soon. They said she sat on the saddle and and was saying Howdy to everyone that walked in--she's so shy! When we went to the doctor Friday (she started running fever thurs night) she asked the dr. if she could see her stethoscope and hear her heartbeat--thanks to Dr. Gina on Sesame Street for teaching her these things. I do have to say that she is one of the sweetest little sick girls-She wants to help all the time--She asks Brent what she can do to make his knee feel better and both of us that she loves us so much--This morning we heard her saying in her room "It's time for the monsters to go away-I feel better" This is what she calls the huge swollen tonsils in her mouth. We hope and pray they do soon! In the meantime, Libby is smiling now--you can see this in the first pic under easter--It just melts our hearts!! One last thing, Jeff and Jenny moved this week--I love their house--It's right next to where Frances goes to school, so we will be dropping by often--especially to view movies on their big screen projector! We love them, and we are so happy for them to be so close!
