Merry Christmas to ME!!

I just bought my first point and shoot camera! I have been saving for awhile and not been able to get it. Every time I have gotten within $5.00 I have used the money for something else that the family needed and this time I was able to get it!!!!

is the season over yet?

So this last week I have been all over the place with the terrible two's and the sick child.
Matthew has been REALLY pushing my last nerve with his two's. Tuesday, while I was trying to get ready for work, he undressed himself down to his pull-up, not once, not twice, but three times! I finally said I gotta go threw his clothes in the diaper bag and took him to the daycare as it. Then yesterday as I was trying to get him dressed he ran out the front door with no shirt on and booked it down the driveway. I am so done with the twos.
Ally has been sick for awhile. Since about mid September, with intestinal pain and problems. Now it has compounded with what the doctor says is a "virus". Ally's birthday was Monday and we had to cancel her birthday party because she was sick with a fever from the "virus". Now we are looking at having postponing Christmas because we are pretty sure she has the flu. I am sitting on the couch while she is FINALLY sleeping soundly and relaxed, thank you Tylenol Flu for kids!

Ho, ho, ho

Birthday GIrl!

I can't believe that my baby girl is eight years old! Today is Ally's birthday and I am sitting here remembering what that day was like and where I was. I was surrounded by the one's I love, my kindred spirits and nurses. I can't remember what my life was like with out her.
The last couple of months she hasn't felt good due to intestinal problems and now she has a virus and is sick, poor baby. We had to cancel Ally's birthday party and her Wii party. I think she is okay, she seems to just be happy with mom and dad being home with her. I still can't believe that she is eight!

Long time...

It has really been a while, hasn't it? Well a lot has happened but nothing too big. Matt is potty training and almost there! Thank goodness. Ally is in Girl Scouts again and getting busy, I applied to Linfield for my bachelor degree and John is really looking into getting his training certificate.

Tonight I got Ally's patches sewn on, a good thing for me (so I don't loose them), and got my purse cleaned out. It's amazing the little things that make me happy. I spent the day with my best friend Sarah. We went up to the Girl Scout Store and picked up some patches for the girls and a girl in Ally's troop.
