Hearing Aids!

So the day finally arrived and Elijah got his hearing aids. He is doing sooooo well with them and never pulls them out or anything! He is looking around at noises when they occur and responding to them much faster. It is so great and we are so very happy for our sweet angel! Watch out, because now he is going to be a chatty-cathy like Gavin!

Mommy Brain

I have completely come to the realization that with each passing kid, they suck away your brain power! I feel like the mornings are crazy enough getting us all up, showered, dressed, fed, Gavin off to school and Elijah ready for morning therapy. The only thing I have to keep me going so to speak and energize me is my amazing cup of coffee. The other morning I poured my cup of piping hot coffee and then somewhere along the way of picking up a sippee cup that Elijah chucked across the kitchen as a statement of wanting more pancakes, or Gavin pop-quizzing me as to what is in his lunch, or the puppies attempting to break through the glass on the backdoor, I neglected my precious cup of coffee.
I saw it sitting there oh-so-lonely on the counter, now cold. I thought to myself, "Urrr!" and decided to re-heat my coffee. Again, somewhere along the way some other life altering event occur ed and I forgot where I placed my coffee...did I drink it???Hmmm??? I must have drank it? To sum up this story, I went to heat Elijahs raviolis (FOR HIS DINNER SNACK I MIGHT ADD) and low and behold, there is my full cup of coffee. Sitting in the microwave, cold and neglected. WOW! I'm losing it!

Couch Potato

Elijah has been so cute with his blue chair! It was Gavin's chair when he was little and I brought it out of hibernation, sewed up a few holes and here it is! He loves sitting in it to watch his shows and he looks so big boy doing so. Its crazy to think that this was Gavin's because looking at Gavin sit in it reminds me of how big boy he is and hes not that little baby anymore =( sniff sniff.








Ice Storm

Ok, so I know that the ice storm was a week or so ago and I am WAY delayed on getting these pictures up. However, better late than never right?

Looking down our street in the morning
So pretty

Its an ice tree!
Sidewalk was complete ice, plants were frozen, it was neat.



Icicles hanging from the swingset. And no thats not snow on the ground, its ice!
