we walked the line

I got the kids their N1H1 shot yesterday afternoon at a clinic.  It was the only public clinic in our whole city and our own pediatrician was not getting the vaccine in at all this season.  With a very limited supply in our area, I was determined to do what we needed to get them vaccinated.

N and I picked up B from Preschool and headed straight to the clinic.

We were 15 minutes early, so I thought we were in great shape.

Looks like everyone else had the same idea.

We stood in line for over 2 and a half hours, but they are vaccinated. (It was almost as long as the line we stood in to vote for the President of the United States!)

catch up

It has been a while and we still have some catching up to do...

Here are a few photos from B's actual birthday a few weeks ago.

She had a nice day of playing, opening gifts, and cake.

N even got a gift from Nanny and Papa.

B got a special gift from N.  She loved it.

She could hardly believe she got roller skates from Nanny & Papa!

We ended the day playing outside and enjoying the nice weather.

What is a birthday without bubbles?!

Lucky Number 33

E turned 33 today.  It is his lucky number... no reason, it just is.  Will this be his best year yet?

We certainly think so.  We love you, Daddy!

Not the greatest picture of N... it kind of depicts how he has been feeling for a while now.  Poor guy!

(This was just our most recent photo.)  Happy Birthday!  xo

birthday celebration with friends

We celebrated on Sunday with our friends.

B loved her cake.

We enjoyed the company of our friends.

Then we took the party to the Pumpkin Patch.

B went down the slide with her friend.

N played with the pumpkins.

We all took a hayride in a field.

It was a little cold.

But it was a fun way to celebrate B's birthday and Autumn.

N might be feeling a little better...

four

First up - B celebrated her birthday at her preschool last week.  She wanted to share pink, sparkle, star sugar cookies...

While B enjoyed her celebration, N got to go to the doctor again.

B had a fun time celebrating four years at preschool, N gets to do breathing treatments four times a day.

happy 4th birthday, b

Today b turned four...

She requested a three layer chocolate cake...  she helped make it.

B has grown so much in the past year.  Did you know she can swing all by her self?

We will post more of her birthday later, but for now we wanted to thank you for the birthday wishes.

prayers

Uncle Kelly {E's brother} is serving our country in Afghanistan for up to 400 days.  We will be praying for him and his beautiful family.  We so wish we were closer... I would hand deliver dinner and cookies {cook, deliver, hug, repeat}.

Count your blessings.  Happy weekend.

loud, messy, expensive

...these are my three least favorite things {unless it is a fun messy}.  Today we are getting a new roof.  

I feel like such an adult.
