47 weeks (Oct 22nd-Oct 28th)

Big Sis helping with the weekly sign.

 

 

Happy 47th week!

 

Avery, Ella and Izzy at dance class in their Halloween costumes.

 

Cutest Little Mermaid ever! When in costume you can only call Ariel.

 

 The class.

 

I went as Cleopatra to the Halloween Party. It was fun having black hair for a change.

Addie is growing leaps and bounds. She is moving like crazy. Pulling up on all the furniture and cruising around with no limits. It’s funny how she and Izzy have been following the same schedule of development.  Addie is a little needier. She wants to be held all the time or you need to sit right there and play with her. Even though I don’t get anything done, I need to treasure these moments because soon enough she won’t want me around.

She is still sick. The cough just won’t go away. Mark took her to the doctor on Thursday and they put her on an antibiotic. She doesn’t like it and spits it right back at me. Then to make matters worse she got the bug going around school. She vomited twice on Saturday and followed it up with diarrhea. The poor girl just can’t get ahead. No wonder she wants to be held all the time. She never feels good. I think it’s time to get her to another specialist. We’ve been to ENT and allergy. What next?

Izzy is her cute witty self. She is doing well at swim lessons. When she swims to the wall she goes real slow and just under the surface, but she makes it to the wall all smiles. She also made it down the slide by herself again this week. Of course she thought she needed candy because she did it all by herself. That girl and candy are going to be a problem. She wants it for breakfast!

Izzy and I have definitely started having our battles. On Tuesday she didn’t want to go to bed so I lifted her up on her bed and she fell forward and hit her head on the wall. Instantly she was angry and said, “You are mean, GET OUT! I quietly ducked out and thought to myself, “I don’t think that will be the last time I hear that.

On Saturday, Mark and I got to have some fun time. Unfortunately it wasn’t together. He went down to the Husker game and had a great time. Especially with the W. I went to the neighbor’s Halloween party. Thanks to Gamma and PopPop we were able to do that. I had a riot at the Halloween Party and went as Cleopatra. It was fun to have black hair for a night.

Izzy has a thing about going to Heaven. The other night I was talking about my friend Ashley that lives in Australia and how she wasn’t here and Izzy asked me if she was in Heaven. Then Friday night when my parents were here she told them they had old hands and they were going to Heaven. We laughed about it and told her thanks for letting us know that’s where they were going. Kids think and say the funniest things.

Well, I’ll keep you updated on the girls soon. Hope everyone is doing well.
