This Week

Olivia and Jack had their 5 year and 18 mo. check ups, respectively. Both are doing well! Olivia did have strep throat early in the week, which was verified at her appointment. She was home for a few days, but really not acting sick at all! On one of her "sick days" we went to Goodwill to look for boots for Jack which we found, in addition to some toys for him for Christmas! Yes, shopping for Christmas presents at Goodwill. It was great - and on Thursdays kids' items are 1/2 off!

I've been really tired and run down, I think from all of the craziness of the past few weeks; photo sessions (5 in about 2 weeks) and editing, the trip to SC, and regular "mom to 3 kids" kind of things. However, I am grateful for my bed, my tv, and my magazines, which I look forward to at the end of the day!

Dave hurt his knee playing bball a week or so ago, so he is recuperating. Slowly. :)

I saw Sonia twice this week (so nice to have a friend who has children the same age and is at home, too!) Today she brought Chinese for lunch and we just had the little boys, so it was a great break and nice visit!

Dave's parents visited us last weekend, which was nice. On Friday nite, we celebrated Olivias' bday. On Saturday we took the girls to ice-skating lessons (their 1st), went out to lunch and relaxed on Sat. nite. On Sun. they went to church with the girls while I stayed home with the tasmanian devil. They left on Sunday afternoon and I hope that they had a good time, too!

This weekend should be relaxing, no photo sessions, no trips, nothing planned except skating on Sat. morning. I'm looking forward to it!
