Last week was Jeff's mom's birthday(yes that is 3 birthdays in a few weeks in our families!). We went out for dinner and then mom and dad came back to our house for birthday cake and a game of Ticket to Ride! I am so thankful to such an incredible mother-in-law. Thank you for always being so loving and supportive to our family. We all love you so much:)
Little drummer boy!
Serious concentration...
Megan lost her first tooth this week! It has been wiggly for a few weeks now, but a few days before she lost it, it got REALLY wiggly. She lost the tooth at school and brought it home in a little plastic bag. She was so excited for the tooth fairy to come. Apparently, the thing to do these days is to leave a glass of water by your bed and when the tooth fairy comes, she drops her fairy dust into the water and that is the color of your fairy! Megs fairy was blue...she loved it!
I still can't believe we have a daughter old enough to be loosing teeth. I still remember her getting those first tiny teeth at 8 months old!
Before...(just the night before she lost the tooth!)
After...(I know the pic is blurry, but you can see the tooth missing)
The girls were invited to a friends birthday party last Saturday! Our family was invited to come to the party early and have lunch with them. We had a great time visiting and when the birthday party started all the kids and the dads took the kids toboganning(sp??). My friend and I stayed at her house with our 2 little boys, who were napping! The girls loved sledding down the hill. Jeff was so tired(and so were the girls) when they came back home. Jeff said it was a really good work out for him:)
I took Gabby in to the walk-in clinic on Monday. She has been complaining for a few days that her ears hurt. She is not one to complain...she's one tough girl! She was waking up several times in the night, which is very unlike her, so I knew something was up. The doctor said she had lots of wax and he couldn't see into her ear well, but the one ear looked red. So he put her on antibiotics and she has been great since then. Although, she does not like the antibiotics!! It's banana flavored liquid and she spat it out a couple of times. I think she's used to it now.
We had some friends over for a playdate the other day! Abi and Marty are 5 months apart. They had fun playing together!
Megan had her school Christmas concert last night!! It was SO cute. They had one concert in the afternoon and one in the evening. We went to the evening one, so Jeff could come too. She wanted to have her hair curled for the concert. This is a picture of first thing in the morning and by the time the concert started in the afternoon, most of her curls were gone:(
We just found out this week that Megan's kindergarten teacher will be leaving:( She has been selected for a teacher exchange program, so she will be going to Australia to teacher for an entire year. She is leaving at the end of December. And the teacher from Australia will be coming here to teach our kids for the rest of the year. I thought Megan would be really sad about her teacher leaving, but she seems ok about it. I guess we'll see in the New Year when she gets the new teacher. I'm a little sad because her teacher is so great and Megan has learned so much for her. I just have to trust the new teacher will be just as great!!
We don't have a Christmas party for Jeff's work this year. Instead, his boss gave him a gift certificate to a restaurant! It is a little strange not having any Christmas work parties to go too. But, it's nice because now we can go for dinner any time...such a treat!
And...I'm SO excited because our dear friends are having their baby girl on Monday morning!! They have 2 little boys and are expecting a girl. I am so excited to hold a newborn baby again. I guess I have to live vicariously through my friends with new babies!! Hopefully in my next post, I'll have some pictures to share.
I think that's all I can remember right now!! Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend...
