Better now

I have a terrible time coming up with titles for these posts. I'm thinking about dropping the title feature, except that I really like the way the titles look so nice and concise in the "Previous Posts" section on the side column. I intially thought about giving this post the title "Running again", meaning that the girls are running around and playing again, but suddenly realized that such a title could have all sorts of other unintended and unpleasant connotations, especially in the context of recent illnesses. All this to say, we are much improved in terms of health. We hope to stay this way.

We don't have much else interesting to say (but here it is anyway): we have had three major invasions of ants three days in a row (but they eat the ant bait, and in a few hours, they disappear without us even smashing one of them); Mariah let go of the box she was standing up near and stood with no hands for a few seconds on Monday; tomorrow we're having a family picture taken, and with any providence, we'll get it back in time for Christmas; we had a little game shin-dig with some friends from church on Saturday night (the ants timed invasion #1 for when they were here); Ben managed to blow coffee and grounds all over the kitchen while our company was here on Saturday and he got it all cleaned up before I even saw it (I was upstairs putting the girls to bed). Doesn't that take the cake? I was impressed.
