cold inside and outside

This weeks well check doctor visit- Bennett was 100% (head, height and weight). Darla was 10% weight - well you get the idea. Basically we have a solid guy and a dainty gal. With the temperatures being cold outside and us battling our colds inside, we've been keeping to ourselves a bit these days. I feel so bad for Bennett with his congestion. It makes me so grateful that we are usually a healthy bunch. I've also re-realized how wonderful of a baby Bennett truly is.
Darla is very involved with Beauty and the Beast these days. Almost every time she watches it she'll say something like, "I love Beast," or "He is so handsome". She walks around the house singing, "No, ones big like Gaston. No, ones, la la la la". Darla has also taken on the job of saying the prayer at dinner, at family prayers, etc. Erik will say, "Jenny, will you say it tonight?" All in the same breath Darla will say, "Darla say it! Dear Heavenly Father....".
Well we have heard back from Minnesota and OF COURSE Erik got accepted for the PhD program here. We are still waiting to hear back from the other three schools he applied to (Berkley, North Carolina, and Washington). So we will see. He is amazing. I'm SO grateful for a husband who is willing to put in the time and effort to make our lives so brilliant. What a wonderful life.
