HAPPY REFORMATION DAY!

Calvin in Hannah's costume! It amazes me that they are only 2 weeks apart in Birthdays, but he is SO much bigger than she was. If you read yesterdays blog you noticed that they are only 16 pounds apart, but yet 4 years difference...
Crazy!

Be safe tonight!

Here is a wonderful new recipe that I got from Mary. She served us this YUMMY "HC" last week is home group.

10 cups dry milk powder
4 3/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups powdered non-dairy creamer

In a large mixing bowl, combine milk powder, conf. sugar, cocoa powder, and creamer.

Stir till thoroughly mixed.

Store cocoa mixture in an airtight container.
Makes about 15 cups of mix, or enough for about 45 servings.

For 1 serving, place 1/3 cup of cocoa mixture into mug and pour 3/4 cup of boiling water in. Stir to dissolve.

Enjoy!!

Thursday

This afternoon I had to take Calvin in for a little visit to the Dr...again. (I personally think we may as well move in up there!) He has had a runny nose and pretty yucky drainage and keeps choking on it. They said he has a viral infection and we are to give him Bennadryl. (sp?) I am becoming an expert at booger suckering...

On a funny/happier note. He weighed 19.6 pounds!!
We LOVE our little Fatty!

...Hannah just bowled her highest game ever on Wii bowling!! 179. GO HANNAH!!!

Don't "shoot" Hannah

Soooo.....The Dr apt...!
I don't even know where to start;)
Hannah did great until the shots. I knew she was going to freak out...BUT, I didn't and wasn't prepared for how much she freaked. I had to physically hold her down with my whole body!!! And the whole time she was screaming at the top of her lungs "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. STOP IT. AAGGGGGGGGGGGGGH. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. I DON'T LIKE THIS. STOP. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. AGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!" The whole office heard her. I bet they heard her in the parking lot.

She can be a real patience drainer. O, and she is in the 60th percentile for weight. The WIC clinic was way off.

I am now watching our new movie and making some Verse posters for Hannah.

Good evening!!

The longest day...

Whew...It is pretty early to be blogging.

Today Hannah is going to her 4 year check up at the Dr. It seems weird to be taking Hannah to the Dr. It seems like we have been taking Calvin right and left this month and now it is finally her turn. I'll post an update late tonight.

We have a VERY busy day today which will feel more busy than we really will be. Esp b/c yesterday we didn't leave the house. (it is pretty clean right now though!!) It is just way way to cold here to be taking Calvin out. He has the cutest coat though.

This morning Hannah gets to wear her costume to Story hour, than we have her Dr. apt, than she has gym class, and this evening there is a Women's Fellowship on campus. We get to take a few cans for them to donate somewhere, and Hannah had a blast helping me pick out stuff to take.

Thats my day...I better go start getting ready for it:)
(more tonight)

HELP!!!!

Big Sister trying to help Calvin sleep better!

#2

Calvin's 2nd tooth came in yesterday. He has been really fussy with the second one. But we bought him some origel. We haven't really done anything new to report on. We do have a BIG week coming up with lots of stuff. So come back in a day or 2!!

Guess What?

Calvin got his first tooth!!

We were at Chili's last night(surprise surprise...) and he was a little fussy, so Dan decided to put his finger in Calvin' mouth for him to suck on, and Calvin bit him!! We had NO clue that he had a tooth. He has been slobbery the past week, but don't all babies slobber? Anyway, Dan is very excited that he discovered it first:)

So Cute!

Who doesn't?
:)

Free Parking

It is very funny here in our apartment complex.
People seem to think they can just reserve their parking spots whenever!
When I know I wont be caught, I sometimes move the chairs. Unless they are paying extra, those spots are free game to anyone who lives here.

Rice cereal

Happy Birthday
Cari!!

(we miss you)

---------------------------

Calvin tried rice cereal from a spoon today. It was so cute, he knew to open his mouth and everything. He loved the experience...and so did Hannah(as she did most of the feeding). He loves to watch us eat, and so I thought we'd give it a try. He didn't push as much out of his mouth as I would have thought he would have. Apparently he is very eager to be like Big Sister. He also started putting things in his mouth this week.

Trouble with posting

Hi, the post below took me about a week to finish. I tried to post it several times and blogger wouldn't allow me. So, the videos aren't attached anymore. I ended up having to copy and past everything onto a new post...I will try to get the videos up later. So, don't worry you will get to see them soon!
