Well, in case you didn't notice, the blog is a little bit different. I decided to get a little creative one day while the kids were napping. I didn't have much time, but figured out how to change the background and add a little bar on the right side of Nate's requests from Afghanistan (which I can update regularly). I'm new to the whole "blog" world so it was quite the feat just changing the background. I'm sure I'll learn more over time. I was able to catch a few pictures of some funny things this week. First of all, when I get ready in the morning, Grace loves to play in the bucket of hair stuff under the sink. I don't mind because I can watch her the whole time. But the look on her face was pretty funny.
I also broke down this week and did some "train table repair". We have a few pieces that just didn't seem to stay together and I finally broke down and hot glued them together. It seems to be a great fix so far (although now I'm thinking of hot gluing the whole thing. :)
One morning, the kids enjoyed some yogurt with their breakfast, although I don't know how much actually made it into their mouths (especially Grace) but she sure did look cute. And smelled good too. :)
Yesterday the kids were laughing hysterically playing with a pair of my sunglasses. I didn't mind and it was actually quite entertaining.
They tried to put them on Baxter, but were having some trouble so just had to help out. He was a good sport. :) And the laughs from the kids were well worth the torture Baxter had to endure for a brief moment.
You can see the smile on Gunner's face, but I wish I had a video of the laughter.
I've been freezing the last few weeks (maybe it's pregnancy or the hardwood floors) but I broke down and bought a snuggie. Not the most flattering, but I thought it was funny. What was even funnier is when Gunner woke up from nap and insisted that it was Grace's blanket (because it was pink). It was really cute though that he knows most pink things in the house are sissy's.
I also had a fantastic week because Nate sent a surprise from Afghanistan. :) It's a beautiful heart necklace with a yellow ribbon. It's gorgeous. He sure has great taste.
On Tuesday we had Grace's 15 month checkup and quite the experience getting immunizations. Hindsight it's quite entertaining but not so much at the time. The man giving her shots, didn't quite seem to know what he was doing (gotta love Naval Hospitals right?!). He didn't secure her down tight enough and in the process of trying to give her shot, she got her legs free, and her arms, and proceeded to pull the needle out (scratching her leg in the process). She was bleeding and of course screaming hysterically. The guy felt like an idiot (which he should have). But hindsight I had to laugh that Grace pretty much told this guy that she wasn't having that. She's got a little bruising but all in all I think she taught the guy a great lesson in giving immunizations (or at least I hope he learned alot).
I haven't been able to snap many pictures of the kids with their daddy dolls (I just never remember) but they still love them. They sleep with them every night and Gunner has been playing with his alot more. His newest thing is that he wants "two daddy's" (his doll and Grace's). :) She's pretty easy going and shares pretty well (for the time being, I know it won't last).
All in all, we've had a pretty good week. Gunner still has an ear infection (on another antibiotic and waiting for our ENT visit Feb 7th) but other than that they've been feeling better. We've been able to enjoy some outside time and even spend some time with friends. We definitely miss daddy, but every day is one day closer. (or in the case of the blog, every week is one week closer) :)
