Gracie has her 1st tooth!

So yesterday morning I discovered that Gracie had gotten a tooth overnight. She had been running a little fever on Saturday and was very clingy to me so I figured that she was getting sick. But in the morning her fever was gone. When I put her in her carseat to come back to WDM I discovered her tooth. So here we begin the journey of teething.

happy new year!

The girls are still growing...and Emma is still talking!! Somedays I am amazed at what she says. Yesterday we started working on recognizing letters. We are started with only A, B and C. Emma will start pre-school in August and I want her to be ready to go. She has counting to 13 down pat and she knows most of the abc's when we say them with her.

We bought a house...that's our biggest news! We close on Feb. 12th and are so excited. It's a two story house with a basement. We are ready to FINALLY be all settled in a house and ready to make it a home for the girls, Zack and myself.

Other than that, the girls still stay home with me and Zack goes to work. I do go into work for about 7 hours a week which has been nice to get out of the house for a little while.

just a few xmas pictures

just an update

Gracie had her 4 month well baby check up yesterday morning and everything seems to be going great. First and foremost...no heart murmur this time around so that's good. Gracie is in the 90% for her height being 25 1/2 inches long and she is in the 65% for her weight being 14 pounds. She is doing great with everything and is still in bed at the moment and it's almost 8am.

Emma couldn't be more excited about Christmas. She wants a bike, helmet and an airplane so I guess you'll just have to wait to see pictures to see if Santa brings her what she wants.

Hope everyone has a good and safe holiday. Zack will have 11 days off of work and I will actually be going into work for a few hours here and there since we won't need a babysitter.

-4 degrees and -27 windchill...the trip to Walmart

Zack needed to get his oil changed so he bundled emma all up and took her with him because she wanted to go. It was just a little cold outside...hence the title of this blog.

~the $9.99 Gingerbread House~

The weather has been freezing, so yesterday I decided to go to Costco to get a few things including a gingerbread house kit. Emma was so excited and did a pretty good job.

Xmas pictures of the girls

We had Aunt Julie take some pictures of the girls this past weekend and they turned out just amazing.... here are a few for right now. More to come later!
