Inside Cat vs. a Dad

Rob has pretty bad allergies. The kids really love pets and pine for a dog or a cat. Audrey told me the other day "Mom, I really want an inside cat instead of a Dad".

Happy St. Patty's Day!

 


Here we are having our "Shamrock Shakes" - I can always find an excuse for ice cream!

Too tired for time out

 


Poor Audrey was having a really hard day. I didn't really leave her in time out that long! She must have reached her wits end! Thought it was funny!

I absolutely LOVE Valentines day! What a great time to tell those you love how much you care. Rob and I made breakfast in bed for the girls and they LOVED it! Audrey woke up all sleepy-eyed and asked if it was her birthday. How cute. Lily kept giggling over the food she got to eat in her bed. Rob and I were able to go out and celebrate with an all you can eat pizza buffet - does it get any better than that?

Christmas 2008

Our Christmas was wonderful. We had a great time celebrating at home with the usual matching pajamas and hot chocolate on Christmas Eve. We stayed up late doing all the things we shouldn't have procrastinated, got up early to the kids' amazement of all the gifts and tied it all up at Grandma and Grandpa Bastian's with a wonderful meal and good times.

THANK YOU to our secret Christmas Elves! We were so surprised and wish we could thank you in person for your thoughtfulness and generousity. The girls loved their gift and use it all the time. THANK YOU!

NOV -2008 Audrey's unfortunate incident

Ah, the benefits of being a little sister....first the buzz cut in July, now this. Ginny pushed Audrey off the bunk bed and lo and behold...the broken leg. Audrey survived this well and took it all in stride. She got the cast off the beginning of this year and is back to normal! Hopefully there aren't too many emotional scars lingering...

Still here

Hey everyone-

I know it's been forever since I posted. I keep putting it off because I'm so far behind! Anyway, I thought I'd better just start so I actually keep this updated! Here's a Reader's Digest of our life:

I'm about 33 weeks along and am expecting a little girl coming this April (so they say...). I am still feeling good and getting huge. The girls are so excited to have another little girl and always talk about all the babies we'll have and having to have a bigger house to fit them all in. I think it's pretty cute.

Lily is saying a ton of words and even putting a few together. I will post some pics of her and how much she's grown.

Audrey's hair is really growing. I think it actually looks pretty stylish!

Ginny's been sick this last week with a fever and stuffy nose, but has been such a trooper. She seems to be doing a little better.

So, that's the quick update on what's happening right now. Hopefully I'll be able to fill in the last 4 months of our lives soon!
