The sickness has started in the house, despite my best efforts and attempts to homeopathic things as much as possible. E, despite few accidents, is no longer in pull-ups and diapers ALL the time. She hasn't had one single overnight accident yet - and I'm so proud of her. Even when she got sick at night, she did as best as she could! The girl was home a couple days with some bug. Matt got something too so the two of them watched Frozen together. Matt was a little appalled at the storyline, forcing a girl to become a shut-in and all - but E is in love with Anna and Elsa. Just as E was good enough to go back to daycare, Ains was not. I stayed home with the crankiest baby in the whole wide world. We did take her and Grady both in as they both seemed off - G had a bit of an ear infection and a couple days later, Ains earned herself some antibodies as well due to no improvement. Meanwhile, Matt's abs are in the best shape of the past 5 years because he is coughing marathon viking coughs all the time and all through the night.
We celebrated Great Grandma Dar's 85th birthday with her. E and G were pretty excited about playing with her cousins and sharing cake with Grandma - Ains just crawled all over the place. 85 seems hard to believe - somedays 36 seems incredibly old but the changes that Grandma has seen over her lifetime, even over the past 35 years or past decade - she's lived well with a true love of her life, 5 children, 13 grandkids, and 14 great-grandkids.
We also had Wes and Kristi over for extended play of games and dinner. Eleanor adores Peyton and I get a kick out of watching their 3 play with E & G. For the age differences, they do really well. We even played Exploding Kittens together a bit, Michael won every game! I was impressed! I enjoy Wes and Kristi for their candor, sense of humor, unknowing advice they give and their love of my children. They are so different from each other and I appreciate how they honor and respect that within their marriage. I like whenever we can get together.
We also kicked off butchering season. The kids and I stayed home while Matt went out to the farm and butchered a cow with Dad. He boned up on some videos ahead of time but was pumped about breaking the beef down and will be processing jerky for some time.

ALR: oh, it's so rich.
EER says with a bit of a whine: I want a drink of milk!
MJR: That's what mom means when she says it's rich.
EER: I know but I love it!
