Hi! Well, I know it's like I've fallen off the face of the planet, but I'm still here. I thought taking care of two kids was hard until last week when DD came down with croup. She wanted me to hold her all the time, while also taking care of a 4-week old, and trying my very best to not have here cough on him. Man, telling a two-year-old to not touch her baby brother just makes her want to do it more, but if he got sick...man, now that would be bad! Anyway, the doctor told us that the cool air would be good for her, so when it snowed last Saturday we bundled her up and braved the newly fallen snow. You can tell in these pictures that she wasn't feeling too good, but she still had fun.
At first we had here completely bundled, just like Randy on A Christmas Story. I didn't see it happen, but DH said that she bent down to touch the snow and her face went right down with her little bum in the air (like a triangle). DH picked her up and she said, "Daddy help." DH then help wipe the snow away from her face. Wish we could have caught that on film!
We decided to remove the coat so she could at least move around. Here she is trying to make a snowball.
Happy faces - well mostly happy.
I was trying to show her how to catch a snowflake in her mouth. I look ridiculous, I know, but I didn't want to get snowflakes in my eyes!
A report of her health as of today - she's recuperating well. I know she's feeling better because she's back to her usual 2-year-old ways. I need to capture that look she gives me when I ask her not to do something, yet she does it again anyway with that mischievous look on her face.

That second picture of her is priceless! What a perfect moment! I am so glad she is feeling better. Send some of those get well vibes our way!
Oh man, it is definitely winter! My baby has had croup twice and is still trying to recover and it has been so awful! I feel for you!
Glad she is starting to feel better. We aren't doing well here. Carter & I are both sick & I am due on Monday!!! My dr is trying to get me better before the baby comes, they put me on antibiotics. She should be here soon though....
She is cute as a button!
