still learning

I braved the chilly weather and took both girls out today. We first started at a friends house to order birthday cupcakes for Alice. While there Alice banged her mouth on a dining room chair. She was bleeding like crazy!! Poor little girl. She was in so much pain.

Next we went to Home Depot and Chick-fil-A, no incidents here.

Then we went to Toys-R-Us to look at car seats and possibly a present for Alice. While there I could tell that Alice was in need of a diaper change. I took her back to the bathroom to find out that she not only needed her diaper changed but her shirt and pants! Of course this is the day that I choose to not bring an extra set of clothes, thankfully though she did have two shirts on the the outer layer was clean. I cleaned her up and ran around babies-r-us with a half naked baby looking for some cheap pants. I found some jeans that were on clearance, ran to the check out counter and hurriedly threw them on her.

The rest of the day was, thankfully, without incident.

Now both girls have had baths and are finishing up dinner. Whew, what a day!

John comes home tonight and I can tell that both little ladies are pretty happy about that. I am thinking a day at Bass Pro is needed and maybe some Cold Stone, for Alice's birthday of course ;)

Here are my little ladies eating their eggs and bacon on Saturday. (pics taken with Photo Booth so sorry for the quality, my camera is still broken)

rain rain go away!

Three weeks ago I started a tradition of packing up the girls and driving to the other end of Joplin and getting some doughnuts and chocolate milk.

Sadly it started to storm pretty badly and I don't want to get the girls out in this and possibly have then get sick.

I should probably get off the couch now and fix the girls some eggs and bacon, which I know are much healthier than doughnuts but it is our little splurge.

I am going to try to stay on top of this thing. I am hoping to be able to post every other day...fingers crossed.

Here is what has been happening:
September 2010: moved from Idaho back to our home in WC. This was what was needed for our little family.
January 2011: John started work at JDC of Wyandotte Co in KC. Virginia turned 3!
Feburay 2011: I noticed Virginia's breathing was becoming labored. It was getting worst daily. Made an appt for an ENT for May 20 something.
March 2011 ENT has a cancellation and is able to get V in on April 5th!!

My little baby is about to turn one on the 31st!!!

I started a local etsy team that has really grown. It is great to get to know all the local etsians out there.

My girls absolutely love each other. I love to see them running around and holding hands. Too cute!
