Smiling my way through a head cold...Make that a family with head colds!

We have all been sick the past two weeks. Kaylie was first...Pretty light at first now seems to still have the cough two weeks later and run a fever in the evenings. Poor kiddo. She is starting to feel better. Sophie was next...Can't be outdone by the older sister =) She had a super stuffy nose and a light fever and a cough. Not very much fun. Erick decided to not be left out of the mix and joined in with a cough and all around aches. I held out the longest (residual effects of constantly being surrounded by germs when I was working full time) And was hit super hard. Major headache, runny nose and unfortunately my nickname of Rudolph is back! Thankfully mine seems to be kind of short. Is it just my family or does anyone else feel like they have been hit hard this cold season? Uggh! I'm just not used to getting sick so much.
The one thing I will say is being sick has made me appreciate my health so much more. I never realized how much I take it for granted until it is gone for a time and I have to still work through daily life with it. I am so thankful for it.

Tricycle fun

Kaylie got a new trike for Christmas. Unfortunately we are having an unusually cold winter here in Southern California so she hasn't gotten too many chances to ride it outside. (She takes it around our living room like a pro) Last weekend we finally took her to the park by our house. We got some pretty cute attempts of her trying to ride it.
Here is an update for the rest of us. Sophie is growing and learning a lot everyday. I can't help but think how fast she is growing! She is sitting up with assistance, rolling over and loves her toes! She loves her baby oatmeal and I can't wait until I get to feed her baby food.
Erick has been super busy at work. He still enjoys it quite a bit.
I have been trying to get stuff done. I feel like little by little I am improving and getting better at my daily chores. It will come. It will! It has to eventually.
All in all we are doing well.

A New Year!!!

Well, it is the new year. 2010 is gone. It was a good year. We had fun and learned a lot. I had a new baby, stopped working (out of the house) full time and have been enjoying extra time with Kaylie and Sophie. I have high hopes for 2011 but am just finding it hard to get into gear! (Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling this way!) So I have devised a plan to help me....You wanna hear it? It is just do it!!!! Get my butt in gear and do it! It will help more than anything if I just do one thing at a time so that is what I am going to do. I started by updating the blog now I will go eat breakfast....I really hate breakfast. Oh well just do it I guess. Hope you all have a happy new year and can accomplish a lot.
