Things are Looking Up...

Here is the link for that hair blog.....it has some really cute ideas:

So, I had a little turning point this weekend, and things seem to be getting a little better-yay! I can see a light at the end of the tunnel! I'm still super weak from it all, but my stomach seems to be accepting food a little easier now, so that's nice. I try so hard to focus on the positive, but then a really bad day will hit, and it gets pretty discouraging.

I am scheduled for my ultrasound on April 7, so we'll get to find out if we'll be getting a brother or a sister soon! I'll be thrilled either way. The hard part will be the name....Scott and I have a hard enough time agreeing as it is, and I'm sure the girls will be more opinionated this time. We'll see! Annalyn was a full week old before she had a name....weird, huh? But they wouldn't let us leave the hospital with the other two until they had names, so that was a good incentive. Oh well, we still have a while before we have to worry about that!

St. Patrick's Day

Anna's Shamrock

Aimee's Shamrock

We thought we'd be a little festive for St. Patrick's Day and try a new hairstyle. I ran across a really cute blog with some fun ways to do hair, so the girls were my guinea pigs. We put "shamrocks" in their hair with a green ribbon. It was our first time trying it, and I think it turned out pretty cute....I'm sure we'll get better the more we practice. That is the extent of our celebration so far.

Oh, I forgot to mention the sneaky Leprechaun who comes every year and messes with our milk. Grammie did a double-take when she opened the fridge this morning! (I forgot to warn her. :)) Now we have a full gallon of GREEN milk to use for our cereal the next few days.....those darn Leprechauns!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Catching Up

I didn't have a chance to blog about New Year's or Nathan's birthday before I got sick, but I ran across the pictures on my camera, and I had to post them.

We had such a fun New Year's with our friends down the street. They have girls Anna's and Aimee's ages, and we love them!!! We played games and ate snacks for hours. We called it "good" at about 10:30 p.m. (hey, New Year's had already come in two U.S. time zones.) After they left we turned on the T.V. and tried to stay awake to see the ball drop. I fell asleep by the fire (I was exhausted...little did I know the reason...) and woke up just before midnight to see this:

Nathan outlasted everyone, and still had energy to spare for the Wii Fit. He put us to shame!

Just a few days later, we got to celebrate his 4th birthday. He also had his first day of Sunbeams...a big day in any kid's life! We sure love this little guy. He couldn't be any more fun!
