we’ve been visited by the sickies again.  this time it’s ethan.  he’s got a sore/swollen throat thing going on & is not too thrilled about it.  he fell alseep on the floor a couple days ago – that is how we knew something was  up.  ethan hasn’t napped regularly since he was one!

i also got a new lens yesterday.  The 60mm 2.8G Macro.  ♥♥♥♥love♥♥♥♥  unfortunately, i played with it for a while yesterday, put my sd card in the computer’s card reader, had a static shock – and the card was ruined, pics gone!  i’ve always worried about that happening, so i usually use the usb cord.  but we got a new computer, adn i hadn’t hooked it up yet.  bummer!  here are a couple from the ones i got off the card earlier …. but the others were oh so cute.  ugh!

poor nor-nor.  look how dry her face is?  that is one thing i don’t love about colorado.  how dry it is.  but it’s probably the ONLY thing.  :)

i think the lens hood freaked charlotte out a bit – ha!  she’s used to a big lens in her face all day, but i think the hood pushed her over the top!

john is reenlisting tomorrow.  for six more years.  not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing.  it is what it is, though.  the navy has been good to us, just not looking forward to sea duty and deployments again.  it’s been so nice having him home the past 18mo.
