Audrey
She:
*loves school
*loves her Dad, brother, and most of the time, me
*asks for a baby sister constantly (no, this is not an announcement)
*loves all things pink, twirly, sparkly and anything to do with cosmetics
*is such a sweet little girl
*says the cutest things. The other day we were walking into Walmart and I said to her, "Audrey, I love grocery shopping with you". (And I really do. It is so much easier to do it with her than without her. She is such a big help with Joshua and she brings her little "list" and will check things off as we go along.) She said back to me, "Mom, I don't really love grocery shopping, but I do love being with you." Melted my heart. I wish I could freeze time forever at this stage.
*on Groundhog Day, I told her what day it was and she said, "Ahhh! Groundhog Day? Does that mean I get to go visit my groundhog?" She had a very confused look on her face, and then said, "My Grandpa?"
*loves to watch movies and listen to music. Her favorite movie right now is, "Fairytopia" and her favorite song is "Party At the USA", she means "Party In the USA". She loves Taylor Swith (Swift) and yes, Miley Cyrus.
*has an amazing memory. She will ask me if I remember something I will have to have her tell me all about it before I remember the specific memory she is talking about.
*is her Daddy's girl and my whole world.
Today
Joshua
He:
*doesn't like to sit still for very long (hence the fuzzy picture).
*loves balls, bikes, his boots, and Audrey's dressups
*loves his binki and must have two at all times. One in his mouth and one in his hand. He switches them every 15 seconds or so. Even in his sleep. I have watched it happen many times.
*isn't speaking quite yet. Audrey's school was giving free speech assessments and I took Joshua in to make sure everything was okay. Audrey didn't have school that day so she came with us. The speech therapist took one look (or should I say listen) to Audrey and said not to worry. Joshua is the little brother to a very talkative little girl, and not to worry one bit. And so I don't.
*we play charades a lot around here. He will point to something, or even better, act it out until I finally figure out what he wants and when I get it right he will say, "Uhhhhh huhhhhh." Darling.
*says, "Oh" (but it sounds like "hhhhoe") after I say things and it makes me laugh. "Joshua, it's time for bed." "Hhhhhhoe." or "Joshua, your mom loves you." "Hhhhhhoe."
*loves his football. He will run around the house throwing it and he calls it his "hu hi" (hut hike). He wants to wear his "hu hi" sweatshirt all the time (he is wearing it in this picture).
*loves Curious George. To let me know he wants to watch it he will squawk like a monkey until I say, "Do you want to watch the monkey show?" and then he says, "Uhhhhhh huhhhhhhh."
*loves the tub. He and Audrey will play forever in the tub. I just finished reading The Hunger Games and Catching Fire and while I read it they played in the tub for two hours one day while I read on the bathroom floor. Heavenly.
*is my sweet, sweet, boy and his daddy's pride and joy.
Today
I am 29 years, 7 months and 12 days.
I:
*am recovering from a horrible weekend when all four of us had the stomach flu. Not.fun.
*haven't left the house all day.
*am up to my eyeballs in laundry.
*miss my family. I wish I could be there for my Mom who has to have surgery on her leg and my sister who is about to have a baby.
*just got dinner delivered to me by sweet Megan (THANK YOU!) We missed the Couples Valentines Day Party (we were puking) and she was kind enough to bring me some of the yummy dinner they had.
*am grateful for my support group here in Texas.
*feel so blessed to have good health. Nothing like being sick to make me realize how good I have it.
*am so so so grateful for Dave. The flu hit me about 12 hours after everyone else and it was a tender mercy I was able to be sick on a Saturday so Dave could be home. While I slept and puked all day, he cleaned up the previous nights puke that happened all over Audrey's bed, scrubbed the kitchen, and did the laundry. I am one lucky girl.

I will never forget the Sunday in church when I asked Audrey what Santa brought her. "Cometics." Was here reply. Se is the only child I have ever known to use the word cosmetics. LOVE it!
Your kids are precious!
And let me just say that the picture of you and your kids, when you "claim" to be on your death bed, puts my "normal" look to shame. If that's you on your death bed, you clean up better than a movie star. You put me to shame, Michelle.
So glad you're feeling better!
What a cute post! I am so glad you guys are feeling better! Both kids are adorable- as are you! And I know this has nothing to do with your post, but as I look at my white pasty arms...I can't wait until next Tuesday!
I love, love, love you guys!!! Healthy or sick, I still love ya! (P.S. Love the tutu!!!!)
Hope you guys are feeling better--no fun having ALL of you sick ): Get better!
I clicked on to your blog somehow one day and your header picture looked like you had a phil and teds stroller. It has taken me forever to re-find your blog, because I wanted to ask you what kind you got, do you like it, and do your kids mind sitting in the back seat? I hope I have the right blog- because that picture isn't up anymore.
Signed, A mom who has an 11 month old and just found out I'm pregnant again :) (and will soon be in desperate need of a good double stroller)
Janie,
I'm impressed you were able to refind my blog! Sorry for changing the header picture so often.
Anyhow. I LOVE my phil and teds. I love how it can be a single or double stroller, how the baby can lay down flat to take a nap, how it is really easy to push, how it isn't sooooo wide or soooo long... basically everything about it. I got the sport one, but I think there is a new one out now. My sister got it. Her baby is coming next week so she hasn't used it yet though. I think we both got ours from babybungalow.com for the best deal.
No, Joshua doesn't mind one bit sitting in the back seat (the smaller child has to sit in the back so it won't tip over). He gets to sit in the front if Audrey doesn't want to ride, but he has never cared about sitting in the back seat. I am seriously obsessed with this stroller.
Congrats on your pregnancy! I hope you feel okay. Have them close together will be fun for them, and you. I tried to click on your name to see if you had a blog where I could respond to your question, but it wouldn't work. I hope you found this answer!

Ahhh, Kevin and I had the SAME Valentine's weekend! I was sick, sneezing and getting nose bleeds from constantly having to blow my nose, and Kevin was in and out of the bathroom puking! We went and picked up some take out to go, and had a romantic dinner at home!
You are one cute momma! I love all those things you wrote about your kids and I'm sorry you got sick! Always stinks the worst when moms get sick. Hopefully all is better!
Miss you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am totally getting a phil&teds now!
