Flying High

This little ray of Sunshine lights up my days!! She is so adorable!!

Eden is always so happy with a smile on her face, especially when she is on a couple of feet up in the air!!

Mid-Winter Break

For our mid-winter break we went to the Pacific Science Center (I forgot the camera. :( What was I thinking?!! They had so much fun!! They loved it and can't wait to go back!

The following day we went in search of tide pools. We went to Edmond's Beach, and having never looked for tide pools in February we FROZE!! 55 degrees in Bothell, is not 55 degrees on the ocean. I knew it would be chilly, but not that cold. After that trip I thought we needed to invest in some rain boots!! Just so we could try again with long pants on!
Eden cried the whole time.

We never saw any pools...maybe next time. The view was gorgeous though!! I love the ocean, and to see those beautiful mountains as a back drop was breathtaking!!

Something I remember as a kid was seeing all of the drift wood that lines the beaches. There was a fort someone had built that the kids had fun exploring!!

Happy Day of spreading LoVE

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Our day started early with Eden waking up at 4:30 a.m. with an asthma attack. While I got stuff ready Alan gave her a breathing treatment. I took her to urgent care and they gave her 3 more breathing treatments within 2 hours to get her stable. Her poor little heart was pounding away. They also took some X-rays and found that she had pneumonia. A little after noon we left and picked up Miriam from church and went home to go to bed, only to have Miriam not want to sleep. I was so tired.

Hannah got this beautiful rose from her activity days teacher.

The kids and I had planned a special dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu with mashed potatoes, rolls, asparagus, and a salad. All served on fine China!! I was surprised that nothing got burned and it all turned out. I wasn't functioning on all cylinders and just wanted to go crawl into bed.

And for dessert we had parfaits. They had chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo's and cool whip!! They were delicious!! The kids had never had a parfait before, so they were so excited to try one!! Looks delicious, huh?Eden couldn't even wait until she had a spoon!!

Alan, of course (who else would give me flowers), gave me these beautiful tulips with a lovely card.

I love you, my little friends! I love you, Alan!

first SIGNS of spring

SPRING IS HERE!!

In Feburary???

SUCKER!!!!

Miriam had her first heart shaped sucker and LOVED it!! She gobbled the whole thing! At first she didn't know what to do with it. I just put her in her high chair and put it in her hand. She swung it around for a while and then finally got it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up and you could tell she was really enjoying this moment!!

Just a little bit sleepy

Miram missed her nap today.....can you tell??
