43 Weeks Old

my new toy..

Grandma Pam came tonight to watch the kids tomorrow while we are both at work. And she brought my birthday present! A new LENS for my camera! Yahoooooo..... So Eddie became my guinea pig while in the tub. I got a new 28mm/1.8 by Canon! So excited!

30, yikes!

Yes, today I turned the big 3-0! I remember when this day seemed so far away. When I was younger I used to say that I wanted to be done having kids by the time I was 30. Perhaps it's a sign (in my husbands opinion). I am blessed with a wonderful husband and best friend and two beautiful children. There is still a part of me that might not feel complete in the children area, we will see.

When I arrived home from work the other morning, I came home to a newly decorated kitchen and living room thanks to my husband and mother in law! It is awesome! New pictures, pillows, curtain rods, curtains, decor, ottoman, etc. I tried to capture pictures of most of the newness. The curtains are out at my personal seamstress aka Nana's house being lengthened! I love love love it all!

P.S. Today didn't start out the best, I struggled with a major migraine while home with both kids. Hoping this isn't a sign of what life is gonna be like after 30 years. I need to get these migraines evaluated, they have been getting worse and worse. And the medicine no longer works for very long. Luckily I was feeling better by 2pm. Napped with the kids and then we got ready to head out for dinner as a familly.
We headed to Bennigan's in Appleton. It was a nice little dinner, minus the part where Eddie choked on a piece of something and puked all over himself! Nothing like a full clothing change and wipe bath in the middle of dinner. But we all survived!

Go Badgers...

The kiddos in their Badger gear ready for the Rose Bowl!

freezing...

Ed made the mistake of doing a few things outside today. Supposed to be quick things because it was so cold out. But because we had a small amount of snow, and Ed was out, Rowan needed to be out too. So after Ed finished taking down the christmas lights, he pulled Rowan around in her new sled for a few minutes. She loved it, but it was too cold to be playing out for long. So they were in before I knew it.

Can you see 6 teeth?

Or a rash on his belly and back? Perhaps a little virus contributing to the occassional crabbiness? Who knows. But we do for sure have 6 teeth through the gums. Hard to photograph those things though! This little boy loves the tub, but now hates to get out. Makes for fun times getting jammies on, NOT!

Happy New Year!
