pre-valentine

It's interesting, about the only time I can work up motivation to blog lately is when I'm preparing to see my husband again. We are leaving in just a couple of days to see him, and I can't wait. Well, I can, but things are dragging on as I do our laundry and wait patiently. Or not so patiently. I've always been a romantic, and have thoroughly enjoyed having myself a Valentine the past 6 years. But this year, my kids will be my Valentines, and that will be all right. Which reminds me, I still have about 20 more valentines to help Joel with for his class party tomorrow.

Speaking of my Joel, we had a parent teacher conference call today. And one of the stories just made me chuckle: Joel went over to the "dramatic play" area and picked up a baby doll. This doll just happened to be an African-American doll, and after looking her over, Joel declared her "chocolate". He then shut the doll's eyes and rocked her, saying "shh shh" and laid her in a crib. What a sweet boy, it almost makes up for all the times he pummels little Charlotte flat to the floor.


Aunt Kelcie bought Joel this outfit, which he affectionately calls "Ma Kwee!"

Having fun with mama's phone. Just imagine the fun we had when we were all home sick-- bunch of sad, pathetic looking faces! 

Absolutely adorable. Her hair is starting to show a little curl, and I just love it.

Poor baby ended up with a double ear infection, a virus, and roseola. The rash got worse looking than this before it got better, but she's finally healthy and happy again (after two antibiotics and THREE dr. visits, sheesh!)
