Our last couple of weeks...

Two weeks ago we had our first dealing with Pink Eye.  I really thought AR's sinuses were just backed up but by the afternoon there was no denying she needed to go to the doctor.  The pictures below are of her the morning after starting eye drops and an antibiotic.  Seriously, she looks 75% better than the evening before, when she looked as if she'd been in a fight and both eyes were red and puffy.  Overall, she was a great sport during it... with exception for the eye drops - let's just say we could have easily used a third person to help with that part!
Cooking cupcakes!
 

Having a snack and watching a bit of tv... oh and waiting on Mimi to come pick her up for the evening!
 Mimi was nice enough to take our contagious child the next evening so we could go to the Josh Turner concert with our friends Elizabeth and Rod.  Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from the evening.

Some evenings we all end up on the floor playing with AR in her room and have a great time.  Can't wait for this little boy to join all the fun.  Here are some pictures of one of those evenings from the other week:
AR discovered how to get under her crib.
 

Listening to her heart.
 

It's amazing what a little girl can get her daddy to do for her!
Ready to go to work with daddy in her hard hat!
 


AR walks into the room and says "bye, bye... Mimi's house".  This was the evening after she'd returned and she was ready to go again!
 A few more pics:
Pushing around a pile of clean clothes she found by the dryer.  Also, trying on one of her new dresses which is a size 3T!  I have been buying both 2Ts and 3Ts at consignment sales this year b/c I don't think she'll make it past August in 2T.
The other day I found her lining her blocks up like so for the first time.
All ready to go to a wedding.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!  She loves her new shirt from Lovey and her "new to us" 3T jeans.
 

Kissing baby brother

Trying to kiss her own belly
A little bath time fun... this little sneak got a bath out of mama and then another out of daddy yesterday while I ran errands!

I guess next up will be Easter... and trust me, you'll want to see her in her beautiful dress!

Hello March

Hey!  I made it back quicker than expected this time!!  First are a few pictures from last week and then some pictures from Mimi and Papa's house this past weekend.  Enjoy!

We have started reading the Storybook Bible with AR in the evenings before bedtime.  She has really taken to this bible and reads it multiple times a day.  So far, knock on wood, she's been really gentle on the pages which has been a recent struggle of ours here lately.
Now this is what I get when I tell her to do something she doesn't want to do... on the floor usually.  Hello twos!

We had to share what we call the "ultimate diaper wedgie".  How this doesn't bother her is beyond me?!
Daddy time!

 This past weekend we were able to go to Mimi and Papa's house for their church's 20th anniversary.  William was in 3rd grade when they started the church and it was neat for him to see some old faces and for me to meet some of the people I've heard about!  AR also enjoyed her time with cousins!

Sitting with Grandmama as Grayson opened some birthday presents.

Celebrating Grayson's 4th birthday!
Cousin bath time is always loaded with fun!

Attempting to take my first belly picture of the pregnancy... sad I know!

27 wks and 6 days...  he was measuring big last appointment by at least a week.
Grayson wanted his own picture... how he's done a 180 on the picture taking!

AR loves Grayson!

AR is some of Grayson's cowboy outfit

I'm the sheriff around here!

 Hope March is treating you well so far!
