Happy Birthday!

We had a great time celebrating Chris' 32nd birthday! I wish I would have gotten more pic! We all had a "cold" day Friday, so we took Em to the science center and out to lunch. Lots of fun! Friday night, we were able to get together with friends and family and go out to dinner, to the Lake Erie Monster's game and out for some drinks. The hockey game was a lot more fun then I thought it would be! Saturday we attending a chili challenge at BW-Chris didn't win, but I loved his chili and so did Em. Sunday were got to celebrate his birthday with family. All and all a pretty awesome weekend. Notice how I did not mention ANY packing in all of that? Yeah, that is because we still haven't started...yikes this is going to be a long couple of weeks!!

My little girl! She never lets me put clips in her hair, so I had to get a picture.

Nana brought over glitter to make crowns with Em on Friday night. So Saturday I put the little one to work! I'm pretty sure there is still a pound of glitter in our house! (oh, and btw she did this on her own-but she did do a great job!).

Chris and I at the hockey game!

drinks and food!

Em made a "leaf" pile. yep...good times. 

Another cold weekend! We are starting to go a little stir crazy here for sure! And I keep forgetting to take pictures, but we really are trying to have fun! Saturday (Happy Valentine's Day!) Chris had a math competition all morning, so Em and I just chilled in our PJs. Which is heaven for her, because EVERY MORNING she tells me to put my PJs back on. She is going through a phase now where she really, really does not want me to go to work each morning. So yeah, my heart breaks a little each day. We braved the weather Saturday and headed out to Nanas, not 2 mins after we walked through the door Em starting crying that her ear hurt. We headed up to CVS minuet clinic-and you guessed it another ear infection. Good news is antibiotics and Tylenol do wonders for this girl, and we are on the mend. Oh, and the tube fell out of her ear! Not sure if that was causing some of the discomfort, but we are one tube down now. Sunday we braved the cold (as much as we could) to check out ice sculptures in Medina. It was cool, and cold! Can't wait to call Medina our home-we close on our house on March 6th! We have some work we need to do before actually moving, but excited to get started and have a place to call our home!

Playing with her people-the stories that she makes up are hilarious! I just sit back and watch!

Yummy pancakes!  

Another week has flown by! We are getting closer and closer to closing on our new house. This means we should be starting to pack and going through all of the stuff we've accumulated, but instead we had a fun weekend of hanging out! Haha, maybe next weekend we'll get our act together!

Climbing snow mounds in the parking lot!

Like my outfit?

Kabobs! 

Wow! Can you believe all of this snow! Em does love it, but I think the rest of us are over it! In good news, our inspection on the new house went GREAT! We are beyond excited to get the ball rolling forward! Enjoy the pics below!

Caught miss Em in the kitchen eating chocolate. Knew there was a reason she was being so quiet!

I had a snow "delay" today, which was a great excuse to make some cookies with my little love (at 9 in the morning). And yes, she is wearing Halloween PJs. 

Em is a true fan! ;) 

New House!

Sorry, no pics of Em this week! (I will post one...eventually, I promise she is just as cute as ever!). But, our big news of the week is that we made an offer on a new house, and it was accepted! We have the inspection this Friday, but as long as all goes well (prayers and fingers crossed please!) we will have a new place to call home sweet home soon! This has been a long journey to get back to a place we are ready to own a home again, and we could not be happier. Just hoping for continued good vibes and a smooth closing! 

We've been so healthy...I didn't even want to say it out loud. I was so happy to get through the holiday season (especially seeing everyone's posts of Facebook!) unscathed by illness. Well, it has finally hit folks! Em started it all, I won't go in to details but the amount of laundry detergent and cleaning supplies I've go though this week has been insane. Then Chris was hit, followed by me. At least none of us had it at the same time? The bad news is now Em thinks that if she says she doesn't feel well at bedtime, she is allow to stay up and watch TV. Now that I'm sure she is better, we get to kick that habit. Great. Well between all of the sickness we did get to do some house hunting (may have found the one?), enjoy the snow and hang out a bit with family. Wishing everyone a healthy week!

Nothing better than getting pulled around in a laundry basket by Papa!

Do you want to build a snowman?

(couldn't get them to both look at the same time!)

Here we go!

Em in her baby crib (my desperate attempt to get her to sit still so she' stop throwing up! 2 year olds are not easy to control, who knew?)
