REALLY expensive shoes...

james got his casts off!!!  and i have two miserable babies.  one doesn't like his new braces... finally fell asleep and is now whimpering in his bed, in his sleep.  it's so sad!!!





\




 








the other has a fever of 102.8 and got to watch a full length disney film in its entirety today!  we watched nemo and snuggled!
 










here's james after getting his casts off.  man, did his legs stink!  i washed them well when we got home....








but he doesn't really like his legs or feet touched right now...  








sweet little buddy this morning!!!  what a happy guy!!!













nora got up super early this morning, while i was out running, so she got to play and read with daddy while he got ready for work!  




















this is from the other night...  they got to snuggle and read!


















sweet baby james....








nora likes to have james snuggled in her crib!  











reading the other morning...  so cute




















nora, seconds before falling off the bike and hitting her head!!  thankfully she's fine!  note the red lips... first popsicle!



















our very cute friends... spencer and nolan.  they love to play with nora!! 













and hold james!!!












nora also loves to hold her brother...!!!!








so, i love shoes.  lots of them (although all i wear at the moment are reef sandals- and i only vary color...).  i have one, very special pair of manolos.  but even those, i didn't pay for.  i love to find deals on shoes.  i love the nordy rack shoe section...  i hate paying full price!  i even struggled this morning with an $8.99 pair of shoes i bought for nora at target (although they were SO cute!!).

james got his casts off today.  he is now in the brace.  it's shoes attached to a bar (which happens to be an awesome purple...  not sure why purple??).  insurance pays for the bar, but not the shoes.  they will only pay for the shoes if the patient is diabetic.  who's ever heard of a 7 week old diabetic???  and why only then??  anyway, the shoes are $95 a pop...  and let's be honest... kids grow out of shoes FAST!  so, he gets new $95 shoes every time he grows!  

lots of pics... but that's what i get for not posting in a few days...

nora.... the other day, we were on ichat with my mom.  my mom asked her to read a story.  nora looked at my mom and said "please?"... as in "you have to say please when you ask me to do something".  as soon as my mom said please, nora got a book and read it.  today, we were in the car, and i turned on nora's music.  she hadn't asked for it, but turned to me and said "thank you".  i think she gets it!!!  what a sweet angel girl!!!

shell, you are such a trooper. i can't believe how you have not complained once (at least on your blog) about James's casts. he's such a lucky boy to have an easy-going mom like you! he is getting SO chubby, too! adorable!

also, i can't believe how nora holds him! i don't know if it's the difference between boys and girls or just temperaments or parenting styles or WHAT, but I CANNOT put Anders in the crib with Isaac--he would totally squish him! That child is ALL OVER his brother if I let him be! Nora really is an angel!

love you!
