Soup for the Weary
We are still adjusting to Chris's new job, but we try to get in the
swing of things with a good comfort food dinner. Chicken soup is the
centerpiece of tonight's dinner, complimented nicely by an abundance
of potato croquettes.

We have officially reached that most wonderful time of year—flu season. The baby came down with the flu Friday night. Neither adult got much sleep this weekend. But as bad as it was for us, it was worse for the baby, who did not sleep much and was miserable the whole weekend. Even last night, she was in terrible pain from leg cramps.
She's doing better today and so is the rest of the family. There was even some finger painting.
