Trying to catch up!

I have been so bad lately with trying to keep up with everything. I don't have a picture to post right now (I'm at work) but I can at least try to fill you in. Let's see, last post was Dec when Izabella lost her first tooth. Since then, we went home for Christmas and had a great time seeing everyone. Shortly after we got home, Izabella lost her 2nd tooth on the bottom next to the first one that came out. She's working on her two front teeth, but they seem to be holding on pretty well. Tay went home and everyone got back to school and back to the grind. Work is work, nothing much changes there.

Last Friday when I went to pick her up from school, she was in the nurses office when I got there, had a terrible fever and I could just tell from her voice that it was strep! I should have been a nurse. Anyway, the next day, sure enough the Dr. said it was strep, so we got a shot and all is better now. She was brave with the shot, even though it was one of those thick ones that really hurts, she still has a little bruise on her cute little hiney. But, it sure beats fighting with her twice a day for 10 days with the liquid medicine. That's the tough part. So, as much as she hates them, I think we have actually covinced her that the shot is the way to go. Good thing because I think she's in for a series at her 6 year old checkup. Did I just say that? 6 years old? My goodness where does the time go.

For Valentines Day, we had a family project to make a box to hold Izabella's valentines in, it was a contest, so me, Daddy and Izabella worked for about 4 days on her box, which turned out so cute, I wish I had a picture, and she won 1st place. She was so proud of herself. Her and Daddy surprised me at work with Tulips and cards and she stayed the rest of the day with me and when we got home, we handed out Valentines to all of her friends that live on our street. She had so much fun. Then we had a nice special family Valentines dinner and it was off to bed.

We are signed up for Spring Soccer that starts on March 1st. We're excited to see if she's playing with any of her old teammates this time around. Christina opted to do gymnastics over the summer instead of soccer again. Now, of course, Izabella wants to do the same thing. We'll see....can't do it all at once, one thing at a time.

Hopefully, I will be better at keeping this up than I have been over the past few months, that's my goal anyway. Hope you all have enjoyed the update, next one will include pictures.

We love and miss everyone!
