Are they sick? or not.

Abigail is coughing her brains out, but shows no other symptoms. We’re taking her to the doctor tomorrow. Veronica threw up on Saturday, was fine yesterday, and then threw up again this morning.

I want to be out having fun with Nate who is off of work, and the girls who are out of school. This sucks.

I took a couple days off of knitting my scarf, because my left elbow was killing me. I should probably get that looked at, but right now, I’m still in denial.

My M-I-L took the girls out last week to buy a present for Nate and I. They bought Nate some pajamas, and I got a Rebecca Baby+Kids magazine

and some great red Cascade 220 superwash to knit something for the little tyke.

Christmas is over, and the holiday themed photos will be coming to an end, but not quite yet.

We bought an Epson photo printer on Christmas Eve, and took some pictures to test it out. This one was the best, which is of the girls in front of the tree in their new pajamas. The printer is cool. It doesn’t need to be connected to the computer. We just plug in the memory card, view the photos on a screen on the printer, pick which ones and print. They look great, much better than a regular computer printer.

I’m happy, and it has me thinking about scrapbooking again. I used to be way into it, until Veronica was born. I never did the real fancy stuff, with stickers or anything, but I liked to tape the photos in and write about them. A few weeks ago, something happened that broke my heart.

The girls came to me and Abby asked, “Can I look at my scrapbook?” I said yes.

Olivia asked, “Can I look at my scrapbook?” and I said yes.

Then Veronica asked, “Can I look at…. someone else’s scrapbook?”

Awwwww. That’s just sad.

I’ve taken a zillion pictures of her, as you all can tell, I’m sure. But I haven’t printed a single one of them. Now I will, and I’ll stick ’em in a book.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday/weekend.
