January Catch Up!

After our fun Christmas, we settled back into a more normal routine with me hitting the 14 week mark in this pregnancy, where the awful nausea completely went away!!! I had a lot of catching up to do around the house after that many weeks of being so sick. I am so thankful to Nathan who did a good job of holding everything together during that time.

Will brought home a fun project from preschool. Each child was loaned a bear to take home for one night. He took the bear with him everywhere and then drew pictures in a little book of the things they did. He then told me what words to write. He loved this and said it was doing homework like Maddie:) He had to name the bear and he named it Bercher which is what he always says he wants to name our new baby. He came up with that all by himself:) Anytime someone asks him what the baby is, he always answers, "It's a boy and his name is Bercher." Even though we didn't know the gender at the time:)

Madeline had her first special field trip with all of the 1st grade Gifted and Talented students. They went to Little Rock to see a play at the Arts Center and then went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch. I was so thankful to be able to go. This was one of the things I wanted to be able to do for my children once I was able to stay at home. The kids were all so well-behaved and had such a good time. The play was really cute. It was a remake of Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Bears. The actors did such a good job of making it fun for the kids. Here are Madeline and Haley at Chuck E. Cheese. I think that was the favorite part:)
On January 22, my niece Emma celebrated her 5th birthday. We drove up to Little Rock to help celebrate and had a great time at Playtime Pizza thanks to Uncle Robbie! Then we went back to his house and had cake and cookies. These are the Hello Kitty cookies I made for her.

Sadly, at the end of the month, this precious boy ended up at the doctor's office. He had a sinus infection and just felt rotten:( He still looks so sweet though!

Luckily the antibiotics worked quickly and he was back to feeling better in a few days. It has been so nice that he has been sick so little this year and since having her tonsils out, Madeline has been so healthy too!
