The last two months have been busy ones. Busy is such a generic way to describe them really. We had a wonderful, magical Christmas. For starters, we had a blizzard on Christmas Eve, rare indeed in our state. I am sure the kids think this is what every Christmas for now on will be like, waking up to a foot of snow on Christmas morning. The kids are at the best age for Christmas time. Their anticipation and excitement leading up to Christmas was so fun to watch. They were happy and grateful about each and every gift! We had a wonderful time together and with family.
After Christmas it has seemed like the bubonic plague has hit our house. Someone has been sick almost incessantly. Rounds of antibiotics, runny noses, ear infections, coughs, colds, flu. We've had it all and we've had one frigid winter storm after another. Last Saturday Jack had a sledding injury with his Mimi that led to a trip to the ER, but thankfully without anything wrong, but a big bump on the head. Needless to say, we are dreaming about springtime! Above are a few photo highlights.
My baby is three. She is three going on four. Her name means "light" and what a light she has been in our lives. It has been so fun watching her grow and seeing her personality. I love how she likes to hop over cracks in the sidewalk and the little voices she uses to talk to her stuffed animals. She makes almost everything cute. When she first started to talk she put an "eee" sound on the end of most of her words. Sadly she has grown out of a lot of that, but "turtle" is still "turty". "Be careful" is still "be corsy". And shoulders are still "sholdees". She had a really special Princess party with her little friends and cousins and she loved every minute of it. She's a ham! We love her. Can't believe how fast she is growing up.
