Aunt Ree and Uncle Adam

My sister and brother-in-law did end up making it up to visit.  They ended up driving up Friday morning instead of Thursday night.  It was really nice to have them come and visit as this was the first time they have gotten to meet Elizabeth. There is still more family she has to meet, as [...]

It’s just a bad dream, right?

I AM going to wake up tomorrow to chirping birds and blooming tulips, right?  RIGHT!
When I left at 11:00 this morning for Elizabeth’s Dr. appointment there was barely any snow on the ground.  This picture was taken at 1:00.  Within 30 minutes, 2 inches of snow had fallen; 4 inches had fallen in just one [...]

Am I ever going to learn?

Every night when Elizabeth goes to bed, I put the toilet paper back on it’s dispenser.
Every morning I forget to take it back off.
EVERY morning this then happens.

And it happens faster than I can actually blink my eyes.
 
We have made HUGE progress on the sippy cup.  Elizabeth now actually swallows after she takes a drink. [...]

Little Miss Mohawk

I am still running on empty here as far as the sleep tank is concerned.  But tonight I am already armed and ready with a pillow and blanket in Elizabeth’s room.  Last night I brought her into our bed several times as I could no longer keep my eyes open and I about dropped her [...]

Happy Birthday Daddy!

 

Oh, and Elizabeth’s tests came back from the University this morning… and she is ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY HEALTHY!!!!!  She does have to now take medicine for nine months as protocol to being exposed to TB, but has no active TB.

Going it alone today.

Today was my first day at home with Elizabeth as Erik went back to work.  We missed him today very much.
My parents left today and it was great to get to see Elizabeth having fun and playing with them all weekend.
 
I have been a little tired today as we have really been battling the ’sleep’ [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

 
Happy Valentine’s Day!  The heart above was colored by Elizabeth.
 
My parents got into town last night to see Elizabeth again.  She got to stay up a little later last night to play with them after they arrived.  This wasn’t hard because she had gotten a long afternoon nap yesterday… due to the traumatic four hour [...]

Do NOT help me Mama!

My legs may not touch the ground, but I can do this MYSELF!
