I Love You...Daddy

This is Sophie's new favorite phrase. We hear it all the time. On Sunday we went to the grocery store. Todd and I were not in the mood to be there long so I pushed the cart with Sophie and grabbed the items I needed while Todd and Gracie would go ahead and pick up things that they wanted. Everytime Todd would leave the isle or disappear for a minute or two Sophie would shout out.."I love you...daddy!" Other shoppers at the store were coming up to me and telling me how sweet that was. Honestly...I was a little annoyed. After all, I'm the one who carried her for 9 months. I'm the one that suffered from the morning sickness. I'm the one who delievered her. But then I started to give it a little more thought. Todd was there by my side for 9 months reminding me to take my medicine and vitamins. He was the one who did a lot of the cooking so that I didn't have to smell the food. He was the one standing next to me rooting me on in the delivery room. And today he is the one that gets up with her in the middle of the night when she cries out (well....most of the time). So daddy....as you read this blog....know that I love you too!

Congratulations Brad and Becky!

Todd's best friend from high school, Brad Smith, just called us and told us he not only got a promotion with the Indiana State Police but he and his wife will be having twins in August! How exciting for the both of them!! We wish them the best of luck during their pregnancy.

Yes Doctor...I Need Another Appointment!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for temperatures in the upper 70s! This cold weather is wrecking havoc on the health of my poor family! Last week Sophie started wheezing and on top of that running yet another fever. When we got her to the doctor on Tuesday he informed us it was a bad cold that probably needed to be fought with an antibiotic. We started her on the meds immediately and within 24 hours her fever went away and she was breathing better. Just when we thought we might have dodged the bullet Gracie starts complaining of her throat hurting Thursday night. Of course Friday morning I dialed the doctor's office again to schedule yet ANOTHER appointment. The diagnosis.....Strep Throat. The doctor put her on an antibiotic and she started to feel better. Then yesterday she woke up with some major congestion causing her to wheeze a little. I ask....does it ever end? I'm ready to pack up my family and move to Florida for the rest of the winter! Oh, by the way, my poor niece has Bronchitis. These poor kids!
