Sick & Freezing

What a crazy month is has been! Sick kids, freezing cold weather and a lot of missed preschool. We are ready for March.

Poor Carli got the worst of it. She was sick twice with the flu. Despite sleeping on the couch almost every night for a week straight she milked every minute of the attention.

We all loved looking at the snow, but were too sick to enjoy much of it. It didn't help that underneath all that snow was a thick sheet of ice. We were home bound for a week. Thankfully Chad was home to run to the store if needed and take us out for "donuts" in the mall parking lot! Nate was in heaven!!

It's A Girl!

We are thrilled to announce that we are expecting a baby girl the beginning of May!

I couldn't be more excited, but I think Carli may have us all beat! She was beyond ecstatic when the ultrasound tech told us it was a girl. "I was right! I was right! I just knew it! I'm so excited!" Chad and I had little tears of joy already knowing that we would be having a girl.

Baby Reese!

The Pledge of Allegiance

Kyle of course, thinks he is just as big as the rest of them! So cute.

Thanks Ms. Janette! Carli and Nate LOVE preschool!!

Really?

I'm not sure where we got this girl!!

We're Off to See the Wizard!!

Carli and Nate have been on a huge Wizard of Oz kick! They have watched the movie a million times, know all the words to all the songs and sing them all day long. So...it was only fitting we made them costumes for Halloween.

My mom helped make Carlis Dorthy costume, and I found Nate and Kyle a Tin Man and Lion costumes on craigslist. Im not sure why, but Kyle was terrified of his Lion costume and wouldnt have ANYTHING to do with it. Carli and Nate; lived in theirs for the whole week! :)

We had a great week celebrating and dressing up. (The best part (for mom) was, "selling" our candy to the dentist and getting to spend their dollars at the dollar store!!)

We stayed a few nights at my parents while they were out of town this past week. One night, Kyle decided he was not going to go to bed, and needed to have a little stay up. It had been a rough day with no naps, plenty of falls, and a possible ear infection. We let him "milk it" with a heat pad. I think he felt much better after that! :)
