Playing Catch Up

There's been a lot going on lately.
Mainly everyone has been taking turns with being sick. I am hoping that baby will not get sick. She just got shots the other day and poor thing has not wanted to be put down at all. She likes to be snuggled but whimpers while she sleeps. Myles went with me to her doctor appointment to be my extra set of hands. We were some sight...........He and I had teary eyes when she got her shots and started to howl. I love that he has such a tender heart when it comes to his little sister.
By the way, our little Meg is now 11 pounds and has grown 2 1/2 inches since she was born.

We had several days of snow. Everyone was super excited to have snow, but after three days of it they were wanting it to melt so we could actually go somewhere. They had fun playing in it though. I do love how it looks at night..............the lights reflecting off of it. And I love how quiet it is outside when the snow is falling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ben and Stacey came for a visit. It was fun having Ben as my chauffer. The suburban, I know, can handle the snow, but I can't. I've not had much experience driving in it. I know I just need to be more brave and adventurous. Anway, it was super fun to have Stacey and Ben here. They got to meet Meg and hold her and cuddle her.

 

 Elsa has been asking to hold Meg like the rest of us. I've let her do this in small spurts, and she has to stay in one spot. We laugh because Meg is practically half Elsa's size.

Last but not least, I am posting my favorite Valentine's present that I recieved from Chris this year.
I loved the flowers and treats, but I absolutely love these shoes that he got me. I don't get new shoes very often. In fact it has been 4 years since I bought my last pair of church shoes (except for the cheap slip on shoes while I was pregnant). I couldn't believe they had these in my size :)

Okay this is really the last.............

Myles wanted to make dessert one night. He asked for bananas and chocolate chips from the store and made chocolate dipped bananas.

 And now I think I am officially caught up!

Just a few pictures

Aeva worked with Chris on making this mask/helmet. It's from the superhero character, Nova.
They had fun making it.

Remember the last post? Elsa got her glasses.

 

 Well after a day of having them they disappeared. For the next four days we tore the house apart looking for them. We looked high and low.............everywhere we could think of. I had given up by Saturday morning. I was beginning to think we had a little gremlin that likes to make things disappear because I have a pair of glasses that have been missing for a year, and my wedding ring has gone missing as well :(  Saturday night I happened to get some clothes out of one of my drawers, and there they were. We aren't exactly sure how the glasses got there..............as they were buried at the bottom, but we sure are glad they were found.

Rhaevyn decided she wanted to make a cheesecake. We borrowed a spring pan and voila...........

it turned out pretty scrumptious for her first try.

And I can't do a post without a picture or two of little Miss Meg.
She'll be two months old next week. Unbelievable! It never ceases to amaze me how fast time goes. I'm never quite prepared for it.

 

We love how she is holding her hands. Sometimes she has them folded. It makes us giggle.
