Emma, in dress-up finery.

P366 #26

Liam required all 4 "stuffies" in his bed at bedtime last night. :) Normally he only sleeps with Night-Night Bear. :) I tried to snap the picture while he was holding all of them in his arms, but he dropped them as soon as I had the camera out (the stinker).

P366 #25

Cooking with the kids

P366 #24 Spaghetti for Lunch

P366 #23

At the library, visiting one of the K-9 Reading Buddies. I think his name is Perry, but honestly, I'm not sure. At any rate, Emma was thrilled that there were dogs in the library, and next week were going to bring a Bob Book so Emma can read it to the dogs (who have been trained to put their noses in the book opened in front of them, much to the kid's delight).

P366 #22 - Where is Liam?

Where is Liam?

Here I am!

All set up for a nap in the toybox.

But maybe now that Mom is in here with the camera, naptime is cancelled. (No way, Jose!)

 

 Drat.

P366 #20

Liam did some pretty awesome finger painting this week. Here he is, seen with the masterpiece in the background.

P366 #21

Emma and our friend, Felecia, hanging out Sunday evening. We love the Davis-Pederson family! I especially enjoyed stomping Joe at Apples to Apples (for once). :)

P366 #19 Giggles

P366 #18

At the Salvation Army volunteer appreciation dinner with my favorite folks (pictured, lol)

Did you know those bell ringers raised more than $30,000 just in our little town?

Did you know that money raised last year went to help over 13,000 families with basic necessities like food, clothing, housing and utility assistance? The monetary value of all that aid is valued at 1.5 million dollars.

Wow. Just, wow.
It's the everyday miracles that get me.

P366 #17 - Take Two

Okay, here it is, picture #17. It's of Emma's foot, which is honestly the only picture I took the other day. I owe y'all two pictures tomorrow, because today was a total bust.

I took this picture mainly to chart progress on healing. It helps me know when things are really worse or when I'm just overreacting. It looks even better now than yesterday.

My post yesterday was eaten by an app on my iPod, never to be seen again. In it, I mentioned that I regret not having taken Emma to the ER Sunday night. It has come open and bled many, many times and caused more of a headache than a few little stitches would have. Oh well. You know what they say about hindsight!

Anyhow, she is on the mend. No bleeding today, and we made it through a shower with no tears. What a good kid!

Giving Up

Gahh! Please forgive me, I cannot post p366 #17 tonight. I have it written in an app on my iPod, but it refuses to publish and I'm so tired, I have to give up. It's been a terrible day. I will post it tomorrow or die trying. Thanks for staying tuned! :)

P366 #16 - Couch Potatoes

'Fraid it's a case of mass vegetation on my living room furniture. We rented Dolphin Tale this evening, much to Emma's delight.

P366 #15 - Injured

Poor Emma. Wounded foot. She needs to stay off of it so the gash can heal, and she's living it up on the couch, getting food delivered, watching veggietales like it's going out of style.

She heard me talk about having seen a "chick flick" the other night, and she told me while resting on the couch that she wanted to watch a "chicken-pot" movie like I had, preferably, Dolphin Tale (does that count as a chick flick? I didn't care to argue it with her right then).

I had to stifle a good laugh, but told her I would go rent it tomorrow night.

Weekend Adventure

We stayed at a lovely cabin in the woods (about a 15 minute drive from my doorstep to theirs) last night for the fun of it, and this morning, this was the view I had from the balcony (okay, it was more of a sweet vacation home than a cabin).

Pictures just don't do it justice. :)

 

Beautiful, and with a good cup of coffee and some french toast, Perfect. With a capital P. ;)

P366 #14

Ducks! And maybe some geese too. :)

P366 #13 - Making Cookies

P366 #12

Liam took a trip to see the audiologist today. Bottom line? Hearing loss is not a factor concerning his expressive communication. Not that I didn't already know that. ;)

Here he is, checking out the book basket in the audiologist's waiting room.

P366 #11 - Fort Vannoy Farms: Dairy Edition

Emma and I went out to Fort Vannoy Farms today to hang out with those of the bovine persuasion. What an udderly delightful field trip!

Making friends with a Jersey

Cow kisses

Checking on the babies

She liked the calves the most. 

We're invited to come back another day to bottle feed some of the calves, and I think we will take them up on the offer soon.

Distracted (or P366 #10)

We were at the pharmacy picking up antibiotics for Liam who has strep and an ear infection (double whammy) when I thought to whip out my camera and take a picture of the kids. I had them all together, nicely smiling and ready for the daily picture taking, when the goofy guy next to me starts making funny faces at them.

 

Sigh. :)
