Are you kidding?

Natalie has yet another ear infection. We took her to urgent care last night and it's back. Grandma Lee took the day off to be with Noods today so I didn't have to call in for a sub. So she's chillin' with grandma and trying to feel better.

YEAH Evelyn!

So last night was the first time we've babysat Evelyn without Emilia since Ev was about three months old. Emilia had a big night at Spanish Immersion Orientation and stunned everyone with her knowledge of Spanish. (Most kids knew Hola, she knew bufanda = scarf.) Anyway, Evelyn was a little shell-shocked when she got here and stood there staring at us for a solid 10 minutes. As soon as I started to read her books, she opened up. By the end of her time with us, she was her normal crazy self bouncing up and down on my fitness ball. She's so funny! I can't wait to spend more time with her this summer, she's FEARLESS! Natalie thought it was so funny that Ev was "chasing" her around the basement crawling. We love you Ev!

Giggling Girls

Natalie and Mom are enjoying a late breakfast and I'm hearing lots of giggles coming from the kitchen, so I'm sure someone's acting silly (probably Mom!).

Yesterday my two girls were trapped in the basement most of the day while a few professional craftsmen worked on tiling the bathroom -- wow, looks like we hired some quality professionals!

Sunday Fun

Well Natalie is napping right now. Mom is catching the soon-to-be-named Best Picture. Earlier today Natalie helped me out at Menards and maybe she will do some sanding in the bathroom too (OK, maybe not).

Natalie hopes you all have a fun time watching the Oscars tonight!

So Pretty!

I am not and never have been a girly girl. But Natalie is SO cute with hair clips! Her hair is getting long in front, so I thought it would be fun to put clips in her hair. I was right. She's adorable!

YEA!

Joey and I took Natalie to the doctor to see if the fifth round of antibiotics did the job on her ears. She's been in a great mood lately, but she also was last time before getting the news that it was so bad that it looked like her ear drum would burst. So I wasn't feeling too optimistic. But we got an all clear for the first time since the end of November! I almost cried I was so excited. Natalie's excited too and was too happy to sleep tonight! Great news just in time for her 14-month birthday! We love you little Noodle!

Natalie's having fun again

Natalie seems to be enjoying life again, giggling as much as possible and talking gibberish to whomever will listen.
