Playhouse fun



Could have been a really cute pic but my anxiety got the best of me watching Jackson try to hold Annabelle while sliding down the slide. Thanks to Daddy, they made it down safe and sound . . . about 100 times! These kiddos love to "do it again!"

Coming home

Coming home from Vegas was so nice. Mimi and Poppy took great care of the kiddos for us. They also decided gardening was a great task to do with the babies, especially Jackson. They planted lots of new flowers, got a new rug, and garden flag. Our yard really needed the TLC after a long winter so we are very grateful. Thank you so much Mimi and Poppy!

Playdates

Jackson had 3 playdates last weekend. Friday night, the Leach's came over for dinner. It has been a while since Jackson got to see Cy so they were excited. Saturday morning, Braxton came over. He is in Jackson's class at school and Braxton's daddy works with Russell. They had a long playdate and then all the boys went out for cheeseburgers. Sunday afternoon, we met the Leach's at the park. The weather was beautiful. We all lost track of time!

A rough 48 hours

Our sweet princess has had a rough two days. Monday morning, we went for her follow up with Dr. Scolero, the ear specialist who put her tubes in. Although Annabelle had no signs, it turns out she has an ear infection. We may need to get a second set of tubes. We go back for a follow up in 4 weeks. I am not too concerned at this point because the same thing happened to Jackson and he was okay and never needed the second set.

On Monday night, Jackson accidentally kicked her in the mouth and gave her a bloody busted lip. We were playing and tickling each other and he didn't mean to. Sweet Annabelle got over it so quickly.

Then came Tuesday. I got a call from daycare during lunch. Within 5 minutes, I was at the daycare (a major positive to working from home and being so close to school). She had fallen on her face while playing with a bouncy ball. Her nose was bleeding, she had a bruise across the bridge of her nose and it was swollen. Daddy and I took her to the doctor and she is okay. She let the doctor poke at her nose and she didn't even wimper. Dr. Couch was very impressed.

Here she is playing at Dr. Scolero's office.See the bruise on the bridge of her nose.

This morning before school. We are keeping a very close eye on this little girl so she was in the bathroom with us while we were getting ready.

She LOVES my make-up bag.

Our new ride

Last night, I picked up my new car. It is a 2012 Dodge Durango. We have been looking, deliberating and negotiating for weeks so it was really exciting. It has 3 row seating so we have plenty of room for toting the kids, their friends and all of their stuff. I'm so pumped!
