Remember last week when I was writing about it being 60 degrees? Yikes! What a difference a week can make! 

Saturday I had a work commitment, so the kiddos hung out with Chris and Grandma. Sunday was church, grocery shopping and cooking for the week. 

The kiddos are great. 

Jordan had a tooth pop through (so two bottom ones now are both starting to coming in). Jordan loves his sister and she can always make him smile and laugh (as she can all of us!). He has he neurology/neurosurgeon appointment Thursday-so extra prayers are welcomed! 

We had Em's school conference this week-we are told she is very smart and likes to be the leader...sometimes too much. But she is ready for kindergarten (in fact, the teacher said she is already starting to perfect a lot of the second semester kindergarten skills! This girlie is super smart!).

One for the Christmas card..right? 

Sunday best! 

60 degrees in January? We'll take it!! Friday, Chris and I had date night and went to High Low Winery-it was awesome! Em got a date night with Aunt Marissa and Uncle Adam (she was so excited!!) and Grandma got the easiest babysitting gig in the world since Jords went to sleep about a half hour after Grams arrived.

 Saturday Em had dance, then we rode bikes downtown and went out to lunch and more bike riding around the square. Some how the kiddos are still at a good age to enjoy a meal out. Em (for the most part) will sit and behave well at the table, and Jordan is pretty easy going (oh...for the most part as well!). I know that Jordan will enter the no restaurant zone before we know it, but for now, we'll enjoy when we can! Sunday was filled with more bike riding and outdoor time. We even squeezed in getting some ice cream with Grandma.

No major updates with Em. She pretty much is loving school, her doll house and playing the mario app on the phone. oh, to be 4.

Jordan is doing great too. He had his 9 mo appointment on Thursday- up to 28 inches and 17.5lbs. They are happy with his progress so far. We have his neuro appointment next week-that will be the big one to see how often (or hopefully not often) we'll need to keep going for follow ups. His ped said he seems fairly caught up in all areas of development so now we are just in a pattern of "wait and see" what, if any, affects he'll have from the bleed in his brain he had at birth.  He also had OT this week and his left arm is all taped up with kinesio tape as we are trying to help him both use it and turn it towards his mouth. He is doing really great with therapy-and between PT and OT we are going weekly now.

Love these kiddos with all of my heart!

 happy guy!

A fun long weekend! Actually able to get outside a bit! Finally did our Christmas with Mark and Caitlin (and I took no pictures!). Also, able to spend some time with Kellie and the girls at Cafe o Play. Excited to have a 4 day week-because it's hard to leave this little guy each morning! 

Ready for daycare!

 These goobers!

 American Girl Legos from the Christie's! (half way put together!)

Yum, breakfast!

Well, you can tell by my lack of pictures that we've done nothing! It has just been way to cold to get out and about (only left the house this weekend to take Em to Dance!). So, a pic of Jordan and a throwback of Em-wow do they look alike!!

Wow, can't believe we had 2 weeks off! We did a ton! Took Em ice skating, to see Moanna, zoo, took the kiddos swimming, lots of hanging out! Oh, and of course Christmas! Em's favorite gift was her doll house (yea...lots of fun putting it together Christmas Eve...took about 4 hours). Enjoy the pics!
