2012

The girls's with their friend Jadyn who came to play yesterday. What a cute pic!

Ella playing with shaving cream, her teacher told us she loves to play with it and sure enough she had a great time and liked to draw her name and practice other words in it. What a great learning experience. Kind of messy but worth it!

the girls after bath time relaxing on their couch watching a movie.

The girls at the playground this weekend. It was in the 40s, not bad for January.

My big girl getting off the bus!

Ella playing outside in the snow, thats as much as we've gotten and now its gone. Hopefully we can build a snowman this year sometime. Eva isn't too crazy about the cold weather she prefers to watch Ella play from inside and enjoy drinking hot choc. with Ella afterwards.

Well we are trying to figure out our trips and fun adventures in the year 2012. It should be a fun one with a Mexico trip in March, a lake trip in July with my family, and home for Christmas in December. I'm sure a lot of other small trips will take place but not sure when yet. Otherwise our 2012 will be an uneventful one with the girls getting older and more independent and hopefully closer. There may also be some job changes. Evan has started his search again and we would love to move closer home finally but I also got contacted by the nurse coordinator on the Mother/Infant floor at Mount Carmel East hospital which is closest to us and she told me to call this week for a phone interview for part-time nights. So I am thrilled about this! Hopefully I finally get my chance to work where I want too, so pray that all goes well.

The week went well, my parents left on Wednesday so that left me only a couple days by myself until the weekend. We went to the library and layed low trying to get the girls back to their normal selves. They always get overtired with company here. We did try out a new place on Friday called Kingdome of Bounce which is a place with lots of bounce houses. Of course, the girls loved it and so did I. They were having fun and playing along and leaving me alone, whats better than that. :o) We also didn't do much over the weekend. We realized our car didn't work on Saturday so had to figure out how to jump it which was an experience for Evan and I. We were proud of ourselves we did it but then again realized the car didn't work the next afternoon so the girls and I have been stranded at home and you know we don't stay home very often so its been a little rough knowing we can't go anywhere. We had a playdate yesterday with my friend Andrea and her 3 kids so the day went quickly and then Ella had dance last night so we were out and about. Today may be a long day at least Ella has school. My friend Melissa is coming over for an hour this morning to let Sammy and the girls play and then she will be taking Ella to school for me. Thank God for friends! I hope everyone has a great week!
