Hello world!

well, this is my first blog post.  I thought it might be fun to have a place to share what’s going on in the lives of my little sweet peas, Averhy and Eden…

 unfortunately, this week Averhy and I are sick. yuck. generally feeling icky, sore-throat-y, cough-y (coffee?)… but at least Eden hasn’t gotten it. it’s tough enough being a mom to a sick kiddo, but when you’re sick yourself, it’s really not pleasant. but we get through it all, don’t we…

Despite being sick, Averhy fills up her days with talking and singing – often at the top of her lungs, and usually with made-up words that mostly end in “ah”, as in “Nalah, Ballah, etc.”  About a  week ago, she got bitten up pretty good by a mosquito (or something like that) and we put anti-itch cream on all of her itchy spots, with bandaids to cover them up… big mistake.  Today, we’re still working on removing the last bandaid… although it’s hanging on by barely more than a thread, Averhy won’t let us touch it.  She even turned down the sweet deal of watching “The Polar Express” this morning (a long movie?? in the morning?? unheard of!) in exchange for letting me pull the bandaid…  oh well. it’ll come off sooner or later…

Eden is ever the sweetheart.  She smiles all the time and really loves being held.  She makes the best cooing noises and almost giggles when we stick out our tongues or make silly faces at her.  Her dimples are just to die for…

but thankfully, they’re both sleeping right now so I can catch up on some photo editing – Marissa’s images from last weekend – so back to work I go!
