What Happened to Spring?

This is what our cute almost-five-year-old looks like when she takes fashion by storm.  Outfit by Mommy, shoes and hairstyle by Phoebe.  You betcha she went into Sunday school looking JUST like this!  Her teacher exclaimed, "Phoebe!  That is so 80's!"

Here's Maverick's feeble attempt at fashion.   We worry about him.  A little.

Nana and Papa came up last Friday to celebrate Bailey's fourth birthday.  They also brought goodies for our kiddos!

Getting good use out of one of Uncle Steve's Christmas gifts, the entire Where's Waldo series.

Snuggles with Papa.

Maverick prefers guys to girls these days so Nana had to fight to get some Mack-love.  Phoebe was perfectly fine with getting the extra attention from Nana instead!

Saturday we headed to Kokomo to spend some time with the birthday girl before her party.  The kids had a great time playing together.

The party was at 5:30 and the girls had a blast.

Cake before dinner!?  Sure, why not!?

Maverick woke up from his nap Saturday afternoon with a fever and did NOT feel well.  By the time we got home around 7:30 he was done.  We got some ibuprofen in him and by 8:00 he was his old self and no fever since then so we're not quite sure what happened but relieved it was so short-lived.

Papa-snuggles before heading back to Georgia.

 Nana-lovin', too.

The only way to cope with their absence?  Cheez-its!

We thought the dumb groundhog said Spring would arrive early.  We have YET to see any evidence of that since this was our view into work on Wednesday morning.

Maverick came home with pink eye yesterday so we immediately started drops.  Today it was his other eye so we took him to the pediatrician in fear that he had another earache.  Fortunately, he got the all-clear.  At least we're not fighting him to take antibiotics for ten days so that's good.  However, wrestling an almost-two-year old to get drops in both eyes for seven days isn't much better.

Here's hoping we're on the mend as Auntie Kate and Uncle Steve are headed to Indiana this weekend and we'd love to celebrate a few birthdays as one big happy, healthy family!
