243. First signs of spring - blooming forsythia bushes - always the first to show color each year in our back yard.  Crazy warm weather is really throwing them off this year!

Olivia's 2 months!

Image
Here are some pics of Olivia at two months. Usually a happy baby unless she's hungry or has gas! She is so curious...taking in all the sights around her and constantly watching her sisters. I love her blue eyes, her long eye lashes (just like her daddy's) and her smiles (which just melt me!). She is also trying to talk...cooing often...trying to get a word in with her noisy sister's. Ava always asks me..."what's Olivia saying"? She is sleeping fairly well...down around 9:30 until 4 AM, eats...then back down until 7AM. During the day she is our little cat napper...20/30 minute spurts throughout the day...unless she's in her car seat. She loves it and can sleep forever in that thing! Here is our little Olivia Ann...

What a week!

Image
We returned from our relaxing vacation last Saturday, gearing up for a busy week of Vacation Bible School, Katelyn's second birthday and month end at work for me. Sunday started off great...church, lunch, nap for the girls...and I finished up some things for VBS (which started that night). Ava (who was fine that morning), woke up from her nap with a 104 temp so we gave her some Motrin and Doug stayed home with her while Kate and I went to church for a fun night of VBS (Kate had an absolute ball!). We didn't think much of the temp as Ava has always been prone to high temps and Motrin has always kept them in check...they usually only last 24 hours and then she's over it. That night she woke up with a croup cough (which she also always seems to get when coming down with a cold...nothing new to us) so we did the normal steam (you can also do cool air), a little more Motrin to get through the night and had plans to visit the pediatrician in the morning. In the past our pediatr...

Fun day with my girls...

What a fun day to ring out my favorite month of the year... 7am...work & coffee (I love my coffee!) 8:30am...girls up, breakfast, playtime (and a little bit of laundry) 10:30am...Depart the Fighter residence for what turned out to be a four hour outing with the girls that included rare shopping trips at Old Navy & Macy's, lunch at Chick- fil -A, play-time at the mall playground, and gummies from the candy shop. Some favorite moments... Ava trying to try on clothes with me in the Old Navy dressing room. I looked over and she had 2 tank tops over her head and was asking for more. Where's the camera when you need it! Kate rapidly throwing her hands up in the air with a big smile (her gesture for the so big game) after I finished telling Ava that she is going to be 3 and is getting "so big". Kate heard those 2 words and couldn't help herself. She repeated the "so big" gesture for about 3 minutes until it was time to leave...cracking herself up the w...
