Winter fun

Last weekend we took a little vacation up to the Quad Cities. We went with our friends, who have a little boy Sweetpea's age - they had lots of fun playing together. The adults took turns going skiing, while the kids went swimming and visited the children's museum. They had lots of fun running around the hotel, too!

When we got back Sweetpea got a pretty bad cough and wasn't sleeping well, so Tuesday we went to the doctor and found out she had strep. We got some medicine for her, and daddy had to stay home with her Wednesday. She is feeling a lot better and finally getting some sleep (we're all getting sleep again!).

Here are some pictures of Sweetpea on our trip. I told Sweetpea we were going to get ready to go swimming and then I turned around to get my suit ready. Well, when I turned around again to get her ready I saw that she had already started to put her suit on! I had to get a picture of that - what a big girl!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's Day! Sweetpea got lots of treats for Valentine's day and has been playing with them all. At school they had a party on Friday and she ate lots of goodies, plus got some cards from her friends. Friday afternoon we went to a playdate with some of her other friends and she had lots of fun there, too. Grandma and Grandpa E. came up to visit on Saturday. They got to play with Sweetpea Saturday night while Aaron and I went out for Valentine's Day. Nyles came to visit, too, and Sweetpea had lots of fun playing with the dog. It was a crazy, busy weekend - but we had lots of fun!!

Here's a video of Sweetpea playing with her grandpa.

Reading

This weekend Sweetpea got to visit my school a couple times. We went to a volleyball game Friday night and then on Sunday they had open house with french toast and donuts. Sweetpea loved the donuts! Then she got to pick out a book from the book fair - and she found a book with her mouse in it! :)
Sweetpea has been reading a lot lately. She'll read to her mouse sometimes and it's very cute. Here's a video of her reading one of her books tonight.
