Well, Monday morning finds me blogging from the couch, where I am listening to Round 2 of Kate's Signing Time DVD and hoping that it will keep her entertained a bit longer so that I won't have to exert the energy to get up and find something else for her to do. We've been leveled by a disgusting stomach bug ... I got sick yesterday after church, and this morning Dan, who was supposed to be leaving for a business trip today, woke up with the same non-airplane-friendly symptoms. So he's canceled the trip and gone back to bed, and we're all laying low and praying that Kate doesn't get this. Since I'm doing slightly better than Dan at this point, but I am still glued to the couch, I figured I would post some photos so the grandparents don't disown me.

Lately Kate loves to sit at the dining room table and eat with us, which is fun, but she sometimes insists on sitting in the adult-sized chairs and using the adult-sized flatware. Because she's a big girl, you know, and booster chairs are for babies.

I'm not sure how efficient it is to try to eat raisins with a knife.

Like I said, I don't think she's getting much nutrition, but as you can see, she's quite proud of herself.
