The sun is a shinin'

Look what we can do!

Today we had a special visitor at the daycare. Mirabelle is a small horse, about 14 and a half hands high. The 2 year old class is studying the farm this month, so Mirabelle's owner was kind enough to bring her in to share with the center. Addison and Payton loved her from afar, but weren't too sure of her up close. I, on the other hand, fell in love.

Happy Birthday!

On January 25th my girls turned 1. On February 14th Remi turned 2, and then on April 10th Nick turned 1. So today we had a small birthday party to celebrate all the major milestones. We had more smash cake, presents, and lots of fun.

Since Addi is all better ...

Hey, I'm just sayin'.

Catching up.

I haven't had much to blog about lately. No sicknesses, nothing major going on, just me and the girls.
We've had a week of beautiful weather, a tease of spring. This weekend it's supposed to be back down in the 50's. Bah. Addison will be so upset. The girl loves to be outside. She will stand at the window and bang screaming to be let out. Taking her to the car for anything is now a chore. Once she realizes it's not play time ... it becomes fight night.
Payton is just happy being herself.
Life is good.

A few warm days!

I'm so excited. Spring has finally sprung! Yesterday we hit a high of 60, and today almost 70! It was like magic. All the neighbors were out and about and people were walking everywhere. Yesterday we went to visit my niece and nephew at my in-laws and today we went for a wagon ride to the 'park'. It was great, until I noticed both the girls had gotten a minor sunburn. I feel horrible. What a great mom I am eh?

At the in-laws:






A little background on the 'park'. Our community playground consists of an ark, and a swingset with 2 swings on it. Rockin'.

Storage boxes and celulitis.

So Addison has cellulitis, which can be very serious. From Wikipedia: "Cellulitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue underlying the skin, that can be caused by a bacterial infection. Cellulitis can be caused by normal skin flora or by exogenous bacteria, and often occurs where the skin has previously been broken: cracks in the skin, cuts, blisters, burns, insect bites, surgical wounds, or sites of intravenous catheter insertion. The mainstay of therapy remains treatment with appropriate antibiotics. Skin on the face or lower legs is most commonly affected by this infection, though cellulitis can occur on any part of the body. Cellulitis may be superficial — affecting only the surface of the skin — but cellulitis may also affect the tissues underlying the skin and can spread to the lymph nodes and bloodstream."


The poor little soul. Hasn't stopped her from being her rotten little self though.

 

 

My poor baby!!!

Addison woke up looking like this ... (don't mind the green,crusty nose).





So we're off to the doctor today. I'll keep everyone posted as to what's going on. Please pray it's nothing serious.
