Day 73: Intrepid Exiles


Today has been another quiet day. Exile #3 has been much improved and improving. She still had a significant fever this morning and missed her swimming lesson, but has been OK for most of the day.

Exile #2 decided today that she needs to have her bag packed for the hospital. So I suppose we are starting to take the imminent arrival seriously. If the baby's arrival does not follow the same pattern as the others, we could be seriously caught out.

At least we're not expecting any more snow, and what is left is melting quickly now.

A few happy moments from today:
  • The girls copying my magic tricks with a heat sensitive stamp on my pay-check. Touch it and it disappears, wave it in the air and it comes back!
  • Saturday breakfast - while the girls were eating fruit-bread watching TV I managed to build a train track completely encircling them without them noticing.
  • Sitting on the front porch watching the rain fall.
  • Exile #4 utterly delighted to be making the first footprints in the snow in our front garden.
  • Exile #3 climbing over the 'mountain' (diminished but still daunting) unaided.
  • Sitting around our kitchen table singing an answering machine message to Grandpa - Happy Birthday Dad!
I just checked the forecast - snow expected tonight. I think they're just messing with us.
