Play group fun . . . . and consequences

Michelle and I took a baby sign language class with our kids and two other moms and their girls. It was so much fun to see each other and let our kids play regularly that we decided to keep getting together. Below are some pictures of the kiddos during our first group without our sign language teacher. We joke that Saul is the rooster keeping an eye on all of his hens.

All of this close interaction did, unfortunately, result in all four kids and many parents getting a nasty case of the flu (a few weeks ago, now). It seems that all the kids started vomiting the next evening within about an hour of each other. How weird. Such a sad 24 hours and lots of laundry. Then the parents got it starting on Friday. Fortunately, this didn't have the same impact on laundry, but did result in lots of sleeping.

Saul, Claire, and Natalie all standing while Miriam peaks around from the floor.

So kind of her to share her horse! Saul getting encouraged to have his first non-cousin girl kiss! Success! Natalie stands on her tiptoes to reach Saul.
