One more thing...

I forgot to mention the fact that we decided to keep Annabelle out of preschool for basically the month of January. She missed a week when Gran and Odie were here and considered putting her in for this current week but decided not to. Due to in part to the fact that a dear friend who works for a local private school is sick and said many kids are out sick as well. I got a call from Annabelle's teacher that she has stuff from Christmas, I decided to take her up to pick up her goodies and give her a reminder of what preschool is about and see her friends. So I get there and go in her room, keeping in mind there are 12 total in her class, and of the few that I talked to up close, all of them had green snotty noses.. WHO TAKES THEIR KIDS TO PRESCHOOL WHEN THEY HAVE CRUSTY GREEN SNOTTY NOSES?? For those of you that do, THANK YOU for making my child sick.. Ugh... I was so pissed and reinforced that we made the right decision of keeping her out and I felt like I needed to take a shower when I left.. it was as if I could see the little germies jumping on me and Annabelle.... GROSS... so needless to say, Annabelle won't be going back until after we are back from Hawaii... Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest..

Secondly... Amber is coming TODAY!! We are so excited to see her show off how wonderful the girls are. Addison, who happened to sleep 6 hours straight last night and Annabelle who is really turning into a wonderful little girl, no longer a baby! She actually ate salad last night!?!? I had a salad and she told me she wanted to try it, so I gave her a bite and she wanted more! I was so happy! Looks like it is time to start feeding her what we eat each night! :)

Amber will be here for the weekend, Sharelle and Craven might come up tomorrow for the day/night and then Amber leaves Sunday as I prepare for my adventures getting Addison to NC and me to HI! I haven't really gotten excited about my trip, trying to get everyone/thing else taken care of first... but in 4 short days, I will be on my way to Kauai to spend some much needed time with John. A huge thanks to both sets of grandparents for helping with the girls!

Ok.. Addison is sleeping so I am going to go get showered and prepare for Amber!! :)
Love to you all
