Ear, sinus, and virus infections oh my….
By Michelle | February 25, 2010
Last Saturday evening Sarah Jo started complaining that her left ear hurt. In addition, Samantha has not been feeling well for the past few weeks. By Monday, they were both sick, so Sarah Jo stayed home from school and I hauled everyone to the doctor. We waited to been seen for over an hour, but the doctor must have felt bad because she happily prescribed antibiotics for the both the girls. Sarah Jo has an ear infection and Samantha has a sinus infection. Unfortantely I had to take Sammy Jane back to the doctor today because her cough has gotten worse instead of better. The doctor believes that she now has a virus on top of the sinus infection, but hopefully she will start to feel better soon. Sarah Jo went back to school today, but has been laying low since she got home…I think she is just really tired. No after school activities this week, but Sarah Jo hopes to attend her little gymnastics show tomorrow afternoon. They both got weighed at the doctor this week as well. The numbers were a whopping 38.6 lbs for Sarah Jo and 24.8lbs for Sammy Jane with all their clothes on of course. Last week also brought the dentist for both girls. They did amazing and Sarah Jo is getting her first permanent 6 year molar…but no signs of any loose teeth yet…thank goodness…because I’m not ready!!

Valentine’s Day Weekend in our pjs!
By Michelle | February 13, 2010
Well at least the girls spent today in their pjs because we are all feeling a little under the weather. Mommy has a sore throat and Sammy Jane told us, “I sick!”. Hopefully I will be able to get them outta their pjs and into some red tomorrow for a picture.
It has been a busy week around here. Thursday evening was kindergarten registration for St. Louise….all the paperwork and “funds” have been turned in….now we wait! We’re hopeful that we will get in and it will all work out as planned. Sarah Jo also received a virtue slip from the Principal at Faith Lutheran during Chapel on Thursday, so yesterday after dinner we took her out to pick out a little treat. She chose a Light Bright and then picked out new playdoh and window markers for her sissy (daddy was impressed that I allowed the girls to spend the morning decorating the sliding glass door…he said I’ve gotten soft). We were going to surprise the girls with Valentine Day gifts tomorrow, but thought it was appropriate to let them have them early since we thought it might be good medicine for them today. Sarah Jo got a pink child’s snuggie…the last one left at Target… and Sammy Jane got a new princess purse with lots of little items to carry around in it (cell phone, keys, plastic makeup, plastic credit card, etc). Needless to say both items were a hit!
This week also brought Sarah Jo to new heights, literally. In gymnastics class this week the coach pulled out the rope that hangs from the top of the rafters at the gym and allowed the “mini-stars” to climb up. Sarah Jo got halfway up and loved it. Then they moved on to an apparatus that I believe is a spotting belt. The coach wrapped this belt around Sarah Jo (she went first) and pulled back as Sarah Jo went flying through the air across the gym ceiling. Sarah Jo is pretty light, so the girl got some air. She was laughing so hard it appeared that she was crying, but I knew that the daredevil in her was LOVING it. I was right, she can’t wait to do it again next week. We might have daddy stay away from the gym for a little while ’cause I’m pretty sure his heart would skip a few beats, as mine did.

The Gymnastics Connection Show at Sunrise Elementary….
By Michelle | January 25, 2010
Sarah Jo had a gymnastics show on Friday afternoon at a local elementary school. Daddy was able to attend and capture some video. Poor Sammy Jane has not been feeling well…she’s down and out with a bad cold. Luckily Papa was able to attend the show as well and provided a great shoulder for her to sleep on during the entire show. You know your baby doesn’t feel well when she sleeps through an hour of a gym full of screaming kids!
Sarah Jo is doing great in gymnastics and we think she did an AWESOME job on Friday!
Enjoy…..

Our Little Fish…..
By Michelle | January 16, 2010
Both of the girls moved up to the next level in their swimming lessons for this session, Sarah Jo to swim team, Sammy Jane to PT 4 (the final level before mommy doesn’t need to get in the pool with her anymore…so sad!!) and I have to brag, they ROCK! They have had only 2 lessons so far, but Samantha now loves to jump off the side of the pool and jump off the steps into the water. Sarah Jo learned the freestyle stroke for the first time this past week and took off swimming down the pool.
I LOVE that all my hard work of getting them to lessons every week is paying off, but I’m NOT READY!!
Will hopefully have new pictures soon of them in their swimming glory!
