I'm Back
Last week was one of the most challenging of my life. I had a stomach bug/flu thing and it lasted a whole week. I was in bed for 5 days. I ran a fever, had severe chills/shakes, nausea and overall felt crappy. Thankfully David put on his Daddy hat for the week and took really good care of the kids. Unfortunately, we had to cancel a vacation to Vegas. We were supposed to meet up with my parents and visit with my Mother in law who lives there. I was pretty bummed about our missed vacation, but what can you do? Lily and I are going to Indy in June, so I will see my family then. We are also talking about maybe meeting in Kansas City again sometime this summer, so that would be nice!
The kids have been very crafty lately. I love all their creations!! I finished one side of Lily's knitted summer top. More on that later...

The kids are alright
Wanted to put a couple of pictures of the kiddos. They are growing so quickly! We have quite a pattern to our lives that I forget to blog about it.
| This is Jack probably watching his favorite movie: Cars |
Jack is doing great! He is talking our ears off! He now uses complete and correct sentences. This makes life a lot easier now that we know what he wants. He is still my cuddly guy. He loves to sit on the couch with us, or be carried from time to time. He plays really well with his big sister and shares fairly well for a 2 year old - not what we don't hear "That's Mine!" at least a few times a day. :) He attends Mom's Morning Out once a week and does well. He yells "School Day!" on the mornings we go to school.
| This is Lily's camera smile! |
Lily is also doing great. She loves her 3 year old preschool class. She goes to school twice a week. Next year, she will be in the 4 year old preschool class and that meets 3 times a week. I recently went to her Parent/Teacher conference and she is doing well and is right on track. She is a very smart girl and has some good negotiation skills - however, she is still learning that what Mom and Dad says is the final answer. She is starting to pick out some words with reading. She knows all her letters and sounds. She knows her numbers up to around 12. She can count to at least 30 and does well counting to 100 with help from us. The outfit she is wearing in this picture is her all time favorite thing to wear. She wears this about 99% of the time. We have to peel it off of her to wash it. This is her Care Bear pajamas. She takes after me and likes to be comfortable around the house. I will have to invest in some soft pants for her in the near future.
This blog post totally sounds like a Christmas letter. Ha! But, I want to have these memories for when I'm an old woman. I'm already a forgetful person - I can only imagine what I will be like in my senior years.

New Knitting Project
I've been knitting and crocheting a bit more now that I don't have to study during all my free time. I made a crocheted scarf for Lily and now I'm working on a knitted child's top for summer time.
I've been practicing knitting continental style. I have the knitting part down, but the purling piece is a bit more difficult for me. I keep hearing this is a faster method. I guess with lots of practice it's faster. As of right now, my English - throw method is much faster!
