Oh! she missing a few more teeth too!

I am so bundled up I can't even lift my arm to wave...

Although the weather is getting much better, and I should be thankful for this, our family has had a pretty horrible month. Don't get me wrong there were some great times here and there, but in general it had been a very unhealthy month for us. It started with me catching the flu and a sinus infection to boot! After four days in bed I finally felt well enough to get up and what do you know here comes the flu knocking on Jeffs door. A week later we are both recovered and out and about in the nice weather with the kids, all of our windows open to be sure to get rid of every last sick germ in our house, when what do you know... Mom starts to feel sick again, what could it be this time??? My good friend STREP THROAT. Not a fun four days. Needless to say my house is beyond help and my laundry pile is a big as my house. There is no hope!! Poor Annabelle knows every fast food menu by heart and has had lots of time to connect with my friends as they come one by one each evening taking turns to hang with the kids while Dads at work and Mom is in bed. O.K. it's not a pity party, but I do feel sorry for me!

Brothers & Sisters

Right after bath time, just before bed time, Jack gazes lovingly into his big sisters eyes, and she gladly returns the gaze!

Jack can't get over how cute his big sister is, so he pinches he cheek, and tells her she is beautiful!

I hope they always love each other this much. I know it's only a couple of pictures, but they both sat like this till Annabelles arm was asleep from holding her 20 lb plus little "big" brother!

Right after this picture was taken Jack dove in and caught a hold of Annabelles nose, with his mouth. I think he is ready for his bed time bottle!! She said he bit it hard with his gums!

Oh what joy children bring us! You can't get much hapier than this. What a cute picture! Two clean children ready to go to bed and give Mommy the peace and quiet she deserves!

" One last look so I don't forget what you look like sissy, see you in my dreams, I love you, Sweet dreams. Love : Jack. xox "

Sunny Times Are Here...At Last

While Mommy pulled all her dead flowers from last year out(I was way to pregnant to deal with dead flowers last October) Annabelle entertained her little Bro on the swings. Believe it or not when Jeff bought the baby swing two years ago it was not for us! It was for our neighbors Grandchild. Who knew we would be the ones using it with our precious baby boy!

They had a blast. I have to say that both my children are great candidates for the biggest higest roller coasters at Great America because the higher they go the bigger their smiles are!

Jack was loving the great out doors. And also his first flight! Annabelle made me very nervous! She pushed him way too high, and to my dismay he just laughed harder!

Here comes April..

Baby Jack learned that he can hold his own bottle...with a little help! At almost 5 months it's a little early, but I'll take it! Considering he is in the 98th percentile for his weight you can imagine that he eats often!

He loves his bath tub time but hates everything about getting dried and dressed after! When I take all his clothes off he starts to get very excited arms and legs moving very fast all over the place, with a huge smile on his face. I think it's the sound of running water that lets him know it's bath time.

I think that I am sure he is teething! I'm not sure what would give it away!!?? But at least once if not twice a day this is what Jack looks like. HUMM... Let me think! HE IS FOR SURE TEETHING!!! I don't care if people say he is too young.

My Big Kindergartener started soccer practice for the Incarnation Chargers, with her very proud Dad as the Head Coach.We look forward to a great season. Oh! and a winning one too! Go Chargers!
