On the mend and off to Austin

We are finally on the mend around here. After a week of eye drops in both eyes three times a day for two screaming kids, I am relieved to say that pink eye has passed. Zach takes his last dose of medication for his ear infection tomorrow. Chad went to the doctor yesterday and is finally getting his voice back. Rebecca has been a bit fussy but did not contract anything. I have a barking cough and a little congestion left. In the end, it all passed quickly. Thank you Jesus!!

So here are some updated pictures of our little Rebecca. I took this photo just this morning. She is definitely a little Smith!!



Here she is on tummy time smiling for Daddy.



And this is how you handle three kids who all want Mommy.



And just to make the morning exciting, Hannah stuck a YoGo up her nose. If you unfamiliar with the snack, it's about the size of a green pea. What possessed her to do such a thing is beyond me. I thought I was going to have to take her to the ER, but it finally started to dissolve and she was able to blow it into a tissue. Never a dull moment around here.

Chad is staying busy busy busy. He got through to the SBOE this morning and he will be testifying before the school board in Austin next Wednesday regarding the evolution and public schools issue. You can read more about it at

Hope everyone is staying warm. It was 18 degrees this morning. Brrrrr!!
