Winter Blues

Ok, let's face it.  I have a BAD case of winter blues.  In the past 6 weeks our house has hosted the stomach flu, a cold, another cold, 8 days of influenza, and now an ear infection.  At 3 a.m. this morning I cried in vain, "when will it ever end?!"  Do you feel sorry for me yet?  You should.

BUT, there are many bright spots.  Camilla is talking up a storm.  She has her first word, "Pippi".  Lucky dog.  She also attempts several animals sounds like moo, barking, and meow.  She waves anytime we put on our coats or if anyone says "goodbye!".  Camilla claps for exciting moments and gives high fives.  She has recently discovered dancing which involves stomping her feet really fast and spinning.  It's great.

What do you do to combat the winter blues?  Earlier this fall Ryan and I saw this ultraviolet light called a "happy lamp" at Costco.  I knew I was going to regret walking away from that one!  At least we still have Camilla to cheer us up.
