Teething... or tongue-ing??

Ella is teething again. Her last 4 remaining teeth are about to make their appearance. She was so miserable all weekend. But for some reason, this made her feel better (at least for a few minutes!)

This is why there is more water on my bathroom floor than there is in the tub...














They may make a mess, but how could you ever get upset at these sweet faces???

The Hair Debate - Revisited

Some friends at work today were looking through the blog and giving me a hard time about Ella's hair today, saying that purposely try and make Ella's hair look crazy in pictures and that I don't ever brush it.

I took this picture tonight to show Ella's hair in all it's glory

And to refresh everyone's memory, this is what Ella looked like at 4 months. The girl was just blessed with crazy hair

New Look

With the holidays coming, I thought I should spice up the blog a bit!

Do you like the new look??

Ben vs. the Kitchen Floor

We were having an uneventful Tuesday evening. The kids had an early dinner of chicken nuggets and fries. No one was vomiting. No one was having diarrhea. Ella went to bed early because she is still recovering from The Sickness. Ben and I were watching "Kiki's Delivery Service". He had a granola bar for a snack and decided he needed some water. So we headed into the kitchen.

That's when it happened. The Event that ended our Uneventful Evening.

While running out of the kitchen with his sippy cup of water, he tripped over his stethoscope.

And this occurred....

I will say, once the tears stopped, I had a hard time not laughing each time he told me that he hurt his wip.

Round 2

Question: What is the only thing worse than a vomiting 2 year old?

Answer: A vomiting 1 year old, with the added bonus of diarrhea


Today I was summoned home from work today because The Sickness stuck again.

The victim.... our little Ella


She is still so sweet even when she doesn't feel well!



















Update: We may be headed for Round 3 . Daddy came home from work not feeling well. The kids even had to help him take his shoes off.

Matt's Birthday!

Ben and Ella (and mommy!) would like to wish their Daddy a Happy 31st Birthday! They think he is the best daddy in the whole world (and its not just because he is so helpful when putting on boots and crowns!)

Ben (with the help of Grandma) made your favorite cake. We hope you love it!

WE LOVE YOU!!
