February Wrap-up

February-  thankfully you're one of the shorter months of the year!

This was a semi-exciting work month for myself as I accepted a swing shift in my department.  I will work one month on day shift, one month night shift and rotate.  Even though it is not ideal, it will help me get part of the way to day shift!  Baby steps :)

Somedays school still exhausts Hannah, yet she refuses to nap.
Caught her snoozing on the couch!


Reading to Owen, she loves Owen days!


Caught a little cold, so snuggling with  Momma on the couch was on the agenda
 

"Mom, lets take 2 pictures. 1 on your phone and 1 on mine" -Hannah
 

"Hey little buddy" -Noah                                       "Mom- I can spell baby Owen" -Hannah
 

More Owen days:
 

Took Hannah to watch an MSU gymnastics meet with me.  We snuck away for some ice cream when it was over
  

                                       Celebrating Chase and Piper's birthday at Howell's pool
 


Love my Hannah cuddles



Daddy taking both kids outside to sled.  Momma would prefer to watch from inside :)
  

Some days all we can do is hope and pray to make it through!  

We are waiting for you Spring!! 

January Wrap-up

The January blues..... back to the cold, snowy, stay-inside-cuddled-up-days :)


We began the journey of watching baby Owen.  He is a NICU grad that I helped take care of while he stayed in the hospital for over 100 days.  We are slowly falling into a routine with a new baby around!
Hannah just loves Owen ................................  and Noah thinks he's a baby all over again!
 

Singing HBD to the one and only DD!  (Hannah and Noah's cousin Dylan)

Giving some undies a try.... FAIL!



Sometimes, just sometimes they love each other long enough to stop fighting and snuggle together on the couch
 

We are obsessed with brushing our teeth...it could be worse I guess



Taking Hannah sledding outside the house while Noah naps
  


When Noah gets a cold, he always ends up with a breathing treatment regime :(
 

Movie day complete with Popcorn and snuggles!
 
 


"Mom- take our picture by the fireplace"- Hannah :)
 


Noah squeaking the giraffe for Owen



Hannah loves snuggling Owen and of course reading to him
  


Jammie day with Noah!
 


Love those baby blues!

MSU Alumni Meet:  1/30/16

Still thinking I've got some gymnastics skills, almost 10 years later!

After the meet we headed to dinner at Reno's in East Lansing.  My how things have changed over the years!!
Between the alumni, and 20+ kids, this place was certainly rocking in its own way!
I'm sure the band was confused by the dancing crowd they had this night.  And yes, we closed the place down at 10pm :)
It's always great to see my MSU gymnastics Alumni sisters :)
