AFP - 1.8!

This will be a short update. Leah has been up since 5:15 AM when we left for Iowa City and has been coughing almost every spare moment all day. In fact, she often cannot go a full minute without coughing. She is rather miserable and tired, which translates into CRABBY. Chloe's nose is dripping as much as Leah is coughing. Normally this all would just be annoying, but this weekend is Dance Marathon in Iowa City and we are leaving for it tomorrow afternoon, so it would be nice to be healthy for this since the girls will have a late night.

Despite the fact that Leah doesn't feel so good, she had a great checkup, and still managed to shop and eat at the Olive Garden. We are thankful we can relax and breathe for about two more months before our next Iowa City trip.

Funny story: the other day Leah and I were reading a book about Baby Duck going to school. The grandfather in the story was so kind and helpful to Baby Duck and seemed to always have a solution for Baby Duck's problems. After we were done with the book we were reading about the author, who based the character of the grandfather after her own grandfather. Leah looked at me and asked, "you mean her grandpa was a duck?"

Thanks for checking in on us and all your prayers!
