It's just life.

We have been busy with everything. Hali was really sick with a cough and fever, then (of course) Emery got it. She had it bad and had to get an Albuterol nebulizer and some steroids so she could breathe. Then Cory got a bad sore throat and then it was my turn... all I can say is thank goodness for steroids or I would have eaten at all! I couldn't even swallow water. I had horrible body aches, bad headache, chills and fever, congestion. The works. It's been fun but I am functional again thanks to the medicine. I am still not 100%.

The girls are growing up so fast and it's fun to see them play and interact. Hali is such a nurturing little helper and Emery is so funny and giggly. Hali can make her laugh doing just about anything! She will jump around or play peekaboo and Emery laughs and it is such a riot to watch. I love watching them grow and learn but it is also going by too quickly. What is a mom to do? Emery is going to be 8 months old on the 21st and Hali is 2 and 2 months. I love my girls!

Well Christmas was fun and Hali really enjoyed opening her presents and playing with her dolls and new games and watching her princess videos. Emery just liked to eat the paper Hali threw her way! Then we went to the Metcalf's house to play some more and then we headed to Houston to visit my dad and step-mom for a few days. It was a fun Christmas!


Hali and I also went to Shelby and James Berg's wedding reception. I knew them when I lived in College Station, TX. Hali was so funny there. She just wanted to dance and she kept stealing other peoples cake off their plates. Thanks Jesse! She was very cute!
