Nana visits!

It was so nice to have mom be able to come in February. We very much enjoyed having her! She was able to see one of Amelie's kindergarten performances at school, as well as the house we'd like to buy. Matthew LOVED having Nana (maybe even a little too much, as he started calling her, "mama" :) ).

Chicago Blizzard

These are pictures out the front and back of our condo. This is what kept mom from getting to Chicago any sooner. Our neighboor was on the news, as she went into labor the night of the blizzard. She had to walk a block with contractions to get to the ambulance!

New Words

Matthew has taken off with his words!!! He tries to repeat much of what we say. Just this week he started saying, "pray," "amen," "Jesus," and "sister." They sound more like, "pay" "mamen", "sheshush", and "siter." He sounds soooo cute!

Couldn't have picked better words for him to learn :)

A Day in the Life of Heather...

Yesterday I spent an hour and a half driving to and from Amelie's school in the snow only for her to be late to school (thankfully Moises was able to stay home with Matthew). I came home, picked up Matthew at the door and spent several hours with him at the opthomologist. We found out that I need to take Matthew back in June to possibly get glasses for him. The opthomologist thinks he is near sighted. Came home, had lunch with Moises, picked up my room for 15 minutes, and went back to pick up Amelie. Came home, gave both kids a bath, had dinner, did homework with Amelie and got the kids to bed. Then, we met with a realtor 'til 10pm (sorry Heidi that I didn't get a chance to call you back...).

Moises and I have decided to try to sell our condo and buy a house North of here, closer to Amelie's school. It will be listed next week, but we still have much to do to get ready to sell. I have a really bad head cold (with headache today), so pray for us if you think of it. I will try to post pictures sometime... :) We miss you all!!!

Taco

Matthew is constantly saying, "taco" when Moises gives him something. Actually, he's really trying to say "thank you," but it sounds more like ta-co. It is soooo cute. He even said thank you when Moises went to put him down for a nap today! What kid does that?!! We had a good week away in Michigan with Harmony and Briant. However, Amelie is now on antibiotics for an ear and sinus infection and Moises is not feeling great either. Pictures to come. We were going to celebrate New Year's Eve with Moises family, but ended up staying home so the kids could get to bed since Amelie is sick. Happy New Year to you all!
