yes, that is our tree, blooming with flowers!!! i took it just to make those in the - degrees jealous!! it's getting cold here, again!! it should be in the mid-60's all week!!! so, nora also got a cardboard house for Christmas, and i just set it up. she had so much fun in it today!!! although, sadie and i became hostages in it... she kept telling us "no, no" when we tried to leave. for awhile, i was able to sit on our patio furniture and do some reading. she would walk in and out, or peer out of the windows and say hi. then, she got her purse (every time she gets her purse, she has to say "bye"), and walk in and out!!!) thanks mom-mom!! and auntie stef, for making the drive to the store!!! in rush hour traffic!!!
this video was taken over Christmas. nora has learned to say her friend's names. here, she saw a picture of jeffrey and called him by name. jeffrey's mom was one of the girls i went away with this weekend. we get back, and chelsey and i brought our stuff back to the house, waiting for her husband to get here. the porch door was open, so i said hi to nora, and she walked outside. i walked around to the front door, so she could come see me, give me a hug, profess how much she missed me for 48+ hours. nope. she stood at the screen door, waving to chelsey and saying hi. then, when chelsey started walking to the front door, nora walked RIGHT PAST ME, and tried to give chelsey a hug!
when jeffrey and his daddy got here, we walked chelsey to the car. i told nora, "we are going to see jeffrey". she said "my jeff-jeff"? it was so cute. it's how she refers to him now... my jeff-jeff. we chatted about her weekend, and i asked if she saw her friends on saturday night (all the dads and kids hung out). when i started naming them, she got giddy and clapped so hard! so glad she likes her friends!!!
so, i wondered yesterday, who takes care of the mom when she's sick? or the kid when mom is sick? thankfully, my husband. i wasn't sure i wanted to live yesterday morning... i had the nasty 24-hour flu. i seem to be doing much better today, but only toast and applesauce so far!! we'll see how the day progresses! i kept meaning to blog, but it's been a busy week, and getting sick doesn't help. plus, i've picked up a little work, so i was diligently trying to get that done.
on monday, we did our usual walk around the lake, then the kids got out and played. nora had so much fun throwing rocks into the lake!! my weekend was fabulous, and i even managed to buy my double stroller for $200 less, thanks to craigslist, and being near LA already (that's where the stroller was), to go pick it up. but that's okay, because we went shopping, so i think i came out even...
i also have to confess... someone else made belly comments, and i didn't respond in a harsh, well you look fat, too, kind of way. i was much more loving and Christ-like! although, i am not exceptionally tall, and i have a short torso... so my kids stick out! i am not going to pop any day! i will be okay... my body can handle this... and i just had the flu, so i think i lost five pounds!!!!
alright... i'll let you go now! enjoy...
