Ailments

Well, we're almost done with everyone getting sick.  The flu is a funny thing - at least this one is.  Elena was sick a week ago Saturday.  Dave and I just felt yucky, although I think he felt worse than I did.  Then everyone was fine.  So by Monday everything was back to normal.  Saturday night (actually Sunday morning) at 2am (this week!), Cole decides to get sick.  Sunday night (more like Monday morning) at 4am, Clarissa got sick.  Now Yvonne is sick (around 9pm).  At least I didn't have to get out of bed!  Here's hoping and praying that this is it for us!  Sorry if we made anyone else sick! 

Here's some cute pics of Jasper, our gorgeous puppy!


We just got our little guy that night.  He fit under the stool!
He was trying to hide from the kids, I think.




I know, on the furniture.  Right now he's only allowed on one chair.
But soon he'll outgrow that.



This is before Felix realized he was there!  Now they get along
like 'cats and dogs' but in a playful way.



Aww, Jasmin has a new pal.



Olivia just adores Jasper!  She's not scared at all!




Elena, the big sister!  Love it!



For Valentine's Day, I made heart pancakes for the kids.  They loved them - mind you, they were allowed to put cool whip on them, too.   Talk about a sugar rush!  But it's only once a year...

Here's Yvonne...






 Here's Cole..





Here's Clarissa...

 



And here's Elena!



 We had a ton of fun!

The Beginning

Okay, so I'm joining the world of blogging.  I had thought about it for awhile, but never joined.  So here I am.  We'll see how it goes and how I keep up with this.  I figured that since I'm hardly on facebook, I should at least keep everyone up to date with what's going on somehow.  As I learn how to do this, I'll try and get some past pictures of Olivia on here so you can see the changes.  WOW has she grown!!!  She's already 4 1/2 months old!  She's rolling from her belly to her back and just last night she rolled from her back to her belly!  She finally got her little arm out of the way.  Now she's rolling all over the livingroom floor.  I guess it's time to get the playpen out. Here are some pics so you can see her as she's grown in the past 4 1/2 months.



This is the day she was born, September 26th, 2010.

Isn't she beautiful!



Elena was very proud to hold her little sister.




Here she is at about 1 week old.





Clarissa loves holding her little sister, too.

 

We got her smile on camera at about 2 months!

Here's Olivia just before Christmas at 3 months.

 

She loves her exersaucer!

At around 3 1/2 months, she really started trying to roll onto her belly,

but her little arm just kept getting in the way!



Okay, I think that's it for now.  Next time, I'll show you how big Jasper has gotten already!
