it's no red rider, but it will poke your eye out!

we've gotten a lot of snow this holiday, and that wasn't all. we also got quite a bit of ice. i took the trash out after cleaning up from the present opening, and i was almost gouged in the neck by this...

for reference, emma is a little over 4 feet tall.

Happy Birthday, Little Man!

tomorrow is spencer's 2nd birthday. i decided to go ahead and do the celebration tonight, bc by giving him his toys a wee bit early, it guarantees that the kids have something to do for the remainder of the weekend. while ken is gone, i jump at every chance to get some quiet alone time.



he is still quite the beautiful boy, if a bit more mischievous now. happy birthday, sweet boy.

It's been a while.

let's see...

emma lost another tooth. she lost it at school, in both ways you think when you hear the word lost. someone threw it away by mistake at lunch. she loves that she can stick her tongue where the 2 bottom teeth used to be. she says she has a tiny tongue now. lol

spencer is sick. we're not sure exactly what he has. he has been congested for about a little over a month now. runny nose, some coughing, sneezing. he got worse a few days ago, so i took him in. he's on antibiotics and benadryl. hopefully this will help. he's been sleeping with me every night for almost 2 months, but the past few nights have been bad, as he coughs all night. neither of us has slept for more than a few hours. *yawn*

ken comes home next month!!! there are no words to describe how ready i am for him to be home again.

oh, and spencer will be 2 in less than a week. how crazy is that?! i just had him. :(

8 Years

happy anniversary to me.

miss you, ken!
