Absolutely Beautiful!

March 17, 2012

The weather here today was outrageous. It got up in the 70's today and was sunny all day! We are definitely being spoiled this March. Ashlie and I headed up to Port Austin for a little picnic and a change of scenery from the same ol' school playground. The girls had a blast! Norah loved going down the slide by herself. I will post a video of her in a couple of days. She is such a big girl. She must have wore herself out though, because she was fast asleep in her carseat well before we got home. Then, proceeded to take a three hour nap!! Gotta love the fresh air!

BABY UPDATE: We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and everything looks (and sounds) great. We got to hear the heartbeat. It was at 153 and beating strong. I just went back and watched my heartbeat video from Norah and ............at 15 weeks her heartbeat was also 153! Hhhhmmmmm..........

Had to stop and get a Strawberry Banana Smoothie for the road trip!

The weather has been beautiful here the last couple of days. Norah has had so much fun outside getting some fresh air and soakin' up the sun.

Crawling into her slide!

She figured out very quickly how to get herself down the slide.

Going for a little ride!!

Already?

Norah has a new trick in the bathtub. She has been working on this for a good couple of weeks, but just got the hang of it tonight! :) She was so proud of herself.

 

Well, here it is.....

March 1, 2012

the official announcement that we are expecting our second bambino!!!!!!!!!! We are almost through our first trimester already and feel so blessed to have another child on the way. I have felt great these first 11 weeks, but extremely, extremely, extremely tired! :) Thank goodness I have such a wonderful hubby who has been taking care of Norah and I while I have been ...... let's say, a little LESS than energetic. But, no morning sickness or anything, so that is a bonus. We are looking forward to Norah being a big sister. She has really been into her baby dolls lately and when you ask her where the baby is she points to my belly!!! She is gonna make a great big sister.

Funday Friday

February 27, 2012
We FINALLY had a snowday this past Friday. It was so nice spending an unexpected day at home with Norah. We painted and then when Drew got home from work we headed outside to make a snowman. With a little hot chocolate afterwards and a cozy cuddle on the couch, it was a wonderful day at home!

"Hmm....what is on this stamp?"

Saying hello to our snowman on the deck.

Mmmmmm.......hot chocolate!

Well, I don't know why I did it, but I broke down and bought Norah a Leapster Explorer. We are able to download learning videos, e-books, and games (which she is still a little young for) for her to watch and eventually play. She loves those videos on youtube so much I thought she would enjoy this. I think I was right!

We're Here.......

We have been so busy lately. Between work, physical therapy appointments for Norah's feet, meetings after school, and just simply spending time together I haven't found a lot of time to update the blog. We are still here though and here are just a few things little Norah has been up to!!!

Pearls.......

And her purse....and she is ready for a shopping trip!

Peek!!!!!!

Love that little pony tail!

Norah is absolutely obsessed with these little videos on youtube.  I read this blog and their little girl loved these videos, so I thought I would look them up for Norah.  They are so simple, yet she is so intrigued.  She gets very mad when it is time to put the video away.  It does not go over very well.  The videos are called An Alphabet Train, The Fruit Train, The Shape Train, The Color Train.  Parents, enjoy!



This is how she reacts to the videos!



Lovin' her frozen blueberries!

I am making a video of all the exciting things that she has been doing lately too.  Watch for that soon!
