We're still a family of 5. We keep waiting for Er to go into labor. It's kind of like Christmas Eve. You keep thinking that tomorrow Sydney will be born. Except on Christmas, you get a pay out. With baby Sydney, we repeat the whole process over again on a daily basis.

Everybody went through a day or two of sickness recently. Allegra has the worst of it and has been snotty for several days now. All she wants to do is cling to you and watch videos. Boy, she really knows how to twist my arm, eh? :-)

The boys first soccer game ended with an ambiguous score. I recall the score being 4-3, with their team winning. However, I reviewed the video and I only count 3 goals for and 3 against. hmmmm. The other parents don't know what to say. Oh well, team pictures are this weekend and practice was canceled yesterday and Monday, too, I believe.

Charlotte (the midwife) and her two kids arrived a week ago. All of the kids get along very well. Samuel, her oldest, loves video games and has been on my computer constantly. I guess this is what it was like with me while I was younger. And I suppose that this is what I have to look forward to with my own kids.
