Anybody There?

So yeah it's been over a month since I blogged...like the longest "pause" ever...sorry, we're still here and well its been a little bit of a crazy month! First we got sick....this is Bailey having a fit over the stickers at the Dr that SHE put on the bottom of her feet. She had 104 fever at that moment so she reserved the right to be angry for sure! The Dr said she had the flu and we went home with Tamiflu. That stuff sucks is all I have to say!

After the flu I got a sinus infection and the following weekend a stomach bug. So yeah January sucked! In the midst of all of that we've had THREE ice days...okay really only one legitimate ice day and two other really cold days poorly "guessed" by the weatherman to be ice..he was wrong.

We've squeezed in some cousin time, these three are seriously adorable and I love their bond and growing relationship!

Jaxson's teacher told us at the parent teacher conference last month that he was on an advanced reading level and he gets to go to the library every day and get a special book to read. He's currently on level 1 and we are so proud of him. He is so crazy smart its awesome! Bailey loves listening to Jaxson read to him!

We've had a few picnics inside during the ice days to mix it up and keep the kiddos entertained. Bailey loved this!

We've also been busy with a few house "upgrades". This is our latest addition to the laundry room. Built and designed by my very talented husband! So proud of him and we LOVE it! Mom is making a cushion for it and I need to get a few baskets for stuff to go into. It's been so nice to get that space organized.

We also did a little upgrade to the dining room that I also love. I'd found this picture on Pinterest and loved the unique rustic look to the whole thing. Scott built the shelf and the panel behind the clock. After a great trip to Home Goods for some accessories this is the final product. I've got to get a few more things to fill it in, but I really love the way it looks.

 

So January we were busy, we were sick and we were stuck inside. We are certainly looking forward to a better month ahead!
