Quick Takes #171: A couple thoughts and a couple of links

1. Everyone here has been passing a cold around which has made for a tough week but given that so many families have been dealing with flu this winter I feel bad complaining so I'll mention and minimize the grumbling.
2. For some reason my phone and computer aren't speaking so no new pictures but hopefully it will get fixed soon as I'm getting some sweet shoots of Lisbeth and her new 'do.  
3. Really appreciated this article and so, so agree that we are never going to make real inroads in removing barriers to nursing until we acknowledge the two choices are not equivolent.
4. Winter weather shout out to those of digging out for feet and feet of snow. Here we (and by we I mean the under 7 crowd) are dealing with the frustration of ending up just south of the storm time and again.
5. Elisabeth's school Saint Dorothy has made it into the finals of a video competition for the World Meeting of families. Please click over and vote ~ voting ends today.
6. In thanks you get this one off :)
7. Have a great weekend and please don't forget to head over to Kelly's for more 7QT's
