Jen took Willow to her cardiology appointment today and the doctor found nothing wrong with her heart. It seems that the blue tinge on her lips and fingers may be caused by her being cold. Contributing factors are her fair skin and low blood pressure (she takes after her mother in that regard, not me). We're going to keep a close eye on her anyway, of course, but it's good that there's no immediate danger of any sort.

Nate seems to be coming down with strep throat now. Lexy puked in the sink earlier. The kids rampaged through an entire box of 24 popsicles in about as many hours, leaving little sticky patches all over. Most of our supply of parmesan cheese ended up on the train table, not to be confused with the laundry soap sprinkled on the floor and in Willow's hair. Routine maintainance is never routine around here. There's always some new sort of mess. Willow cussed earlier too. My fault. I was reacting to the laundry soap incident.
