It's been a sicky sick week for the Figuera clan. We've triumphed over both head colds and a nasty stomach flu bug in the past seven days! Vera's daycare has been almost empty all week with kids home sick and her class had no babies at all on Thursday!

But, I am proud to report- we seem to be rounding the bend, and will no doubt be up and able soon enough.

Vera and I had a quiet, restful Sunday focused mostly on cleaning and sorting through my closet.

Here's how that goes: I sort papers and whatnot, putting things in different boxes and files and then Vera follows directly behind me, unloading every item from every box and every file and sometimes switching them around a bit.

You'd think that it would be more difficult, and perhaps a wee bit frustrating to attempt a project like this with her, but somehow she made the whole task more enjoyable. She was so serious and so determined to do her own sorting..that she was just fun to watch. We worked at it for hours (we have a big closet)..and even came back and did some more before bedtime (thus the footy pajama pics). I'm sure I would have given up much earlier without her by my side. Plus it was just fun to see her holding odd things from the past, like Mike's college ID or one of our wedding invitations.

Here are a couple pictures of her at work. Just for the record, every single thing on the floor had been in a box at some point, and was then flung there by the Little Organizer.

Sending everyone hopes for a happy healthy week!

Love, Jesse
