We pray for Izzy

Our good friends, the Costleys, are facing one of the worst trials possible. Their daughter, Isadore (aka Izzy) was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. They are still trying to diagnose the type and the stage that she is in. She is only 3 years old. We love her, and are praying for them all. They have three daughters, Izzy is the second oldest. They have a blog set up for her with updates: www.izzycostley.blogspot.com.

Fun Feb-Mar 2007

Click on this photo link below to see the full web album:


Our recent family history...a couple weeks ago we had two of our friends' daughters over to stay for a few days. David had so much fun with them, it was a blast. (Photo of him with his friends watching a movie included.)

On Saturday, David woke up with a high fever and we were able to get into the pediatrician to confirm an ear infection. He was extremely mellow and lethargic all day--which for David is very rare, but the next night his fever broke and it seemed like he was making up doubly for all the fun he missed the day before. (Photo of him looking pathetic included.)

A few weeks ago we were in the car and because it was so cold, David could see his breath. As the interior started to warm up, we heard him say, "There is no more wind in my mouth!"

Today he snuggled in bed between Jonathan and me. I said, "David, I love you." He replied, "I love you." Then Jonathan said, "David, I love you." David replied, "And, I love toys."

David has finally started interacting with Spencer a lot more lately. He loves to play Peek-A-Boo with him. (Photo of Mid- Peek-A-Boo moment included.)

Last time I checked, Spencer couldn't yet speak, but he is very vocal. He babbles consonants and when he is upset his noise seems to be more of a yell than a cry. He only cries when he is really very upset. He is a fairly mild-tempered fellow.

He absolutely loves to hear David laugh, and even if he can't see David, if he hears him laughing it makes Spencer start to giggle.

Spencer has a very expressive face and so many facial expressions. His hair has grown quite wild and sticks up off of his head. He also has a chapped chin. (Photos included.)

Jonathan only has two classes in this last term of his MBA program, and we are about to begin to pack in earnest--one of these days. I (Audrey) have just finally finished my 9 identical quilt squares for the "Michigan Quilt" group project that I am part of . (Photo of a finished square included.) After multiple stab wounds, I can say that I have blistered and bled for this quilt, and it better be beautiful! I will probably never volunteer for a quilting project again.

So much space, SPACE, SPACE, SPACE!

Valentine's Day 2007

This morning we trekked out to deliver Valentines to our friends. Here are some photos of the journey...
In other news, we are all well except for Jonathan--he has a bad cold, but feels that he is on the mend. This is the last busy week of his business school career. The second half of this semester he has only two classes, so we will have plenty of time to pack!

As for the near future, look back at our blog in a few days to see if we decided to purchase something...BIG!
