By the Numbers

Number of hours of sleep: 3

Number of Tessa's fever: 101.4

Number of dirty diapers changed : 1 (today so far. Not bad, but I wondered to myself--where is Jack getting sand to eat? You moms know what I mean! Sorry for the TMI.)

Number on clock when Tessa threw up in her bed last night: 3:34

Number of times last night's crying, puking, cleaning, changing, etc. woke up Jack : 0 (you DO realize Tessa and Jack share a room, right?)

Number of times Tessa mentioned her Princess Ballet Class she was going to go to today : 15 (give or take a few hundred)

Number of times I've stopped typing this post to zone out: .........oh, sorry--What was I saying?

Och, weel! Ye dinna ask for more!

It has been a long time since I have updated my blog. Don't feel bad about it though--I don't!


We have been busy and I got out of the habit. And this is an attempt to begin the roll of things again. So here is what you missed if you don't live in the green house:

• Jack turned 1!!!!!!
• Jack started walking!
• I got the pile of laundry under control!
• Tessa went ice skating for the first time!
• We have started cleaning out our garage.
• Jack went to his first day of Parents Day Out and did great!
• God answered my prayer that Jack would do OK at aforementioned PDO!
• Anthony and I bought Rock Band 2 and are ADDICTED! Seriously, we need help.
• Tessa begins her first ballet class next week!
• Tessa turns 4 in two weeks and will be having a Princess Party!
• Jack had his first chest x-ray because he had a 104 temp. It was NOT fun.
• I was alone in my house Wednesday for the first time in 18 months or so!!!

• Sorry. I was remembering how wonderful yesterday was.
• Jack has switched from bottles to sippy cups!
• My squeezebox quit working and I don't know why. This makes me sad.
• I recently made a big batch of P-Dubs Cinnamon Rolls. This makes me very happy!

And since I didn't post anything about Christmas, here is my favorite picture from that holiday:

Because you can lead a kid to Santa, but you can't make them like it.
