college friends

My good friend and college roommate Johnna, and her husband Kyle and son Davis, came to visit Saturday night. Davis is three weeks older than Annely Blake and is a man on the move!! We had the best time catching up with them and watching the kids play. Our other roommate, Samantha and her husband, Dean, came for dinner too.

Davis....... first dinner date?..........

the roomies from Penny Drive......

mmmmm, ice cream!

AB got her first taste of ice cream today. Despite the look on her face she really liked it! it's really cold :)

she wasn't too happy when I took it away, though.....

our little drama queen.......

More Hockey

Matt took Will to another hockey game last night and according to them they had a blast. Will's version was that it was "dangerous," and the "blimp went away and had to go night night."

On the way there..... Concerned about the blimp......

Fun with daddy.......

Posing with the mascot.....

On the way home and waaaay past bed-time.....

who says I'm sick?

Fever: still there

Diagnosis: just a virus.....fever lasts for 4-5 days

We escaped the throw-up bug with this one so we're all happy about that!

victim #2

Fever: 103

Vomiting: not yet, but I suspect it will be a long night :(

the invalid

Well, the stomach virus has officially hit our home. Why is it that every time Will throws up it's in the car and all over his car-seat? Yuck. Let's hope Annely Blake doesn't contract it. She looks pretty good here...

Please pray for us if you remember! Having sick kids is never any fun :(

long week-end

Matt had Monday off, which meant a long, relaxing week-end for all of us. The weather was beautiful, affording us plenty of opportunities for outside play..... the next-door neighbors came over and helped push....

and Annely Blake is now feeding herself the bottle (which spells f-r-e-e-d-o-m for me!!)

and we're working on the pincer grasp and self-feeding.....a work in progress as the gag reflex is still strong and she's a little pickier than Will was at this age. As I've said before.... it's hard following after the easiest baby that ever lived :)

when all else fails, bananas and cheerios seem to go down without any trouble :)

Will's Birthday Party with Friends

Will's actual birthday, (monday), was pretty uneventful. We had a few of his friends over that morning for play and cupcakes. The rest of the day went down-hill after that, though. He was rotten, I was rotten, it was not a pretty sight. I was glad when the day was over and he was in bed!

He's enjoying his cupcake as you can see here.... Lulie

I didn't forget about our second child~

wow...didn't take her long to figure this out after mastering the crawl!

Will's Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Will's 3rd today (his actual b-day is 2/11) with Poppy and KK, aunt May May and the rest of our family with a dinner made just for him. Hamburgers, fries, chocolate cake with tons of m&m's and ice cream. All of Will's favorites! We can't believe he's a big three year old now...... time really has flown by.

Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you!
