Abrie has succumbed to the girlie's cold that they started earlier this week. Baby girl has a runny nose, but is as happy as a little clam.

The three of them have a blast these days when Abrie is climbing the stairs. Both Maddie and Faith start running to the stairs when they see Abrie headed in that direction and want her to climb under their legs. They call it "London Bridge!" time. Abrie hasn't mastered clapping, but she does this little dance while waving with Hitler type motions and you can tell she is beaming with pride. It's really cute. And, then she crawls as fast as possible into one of her favorite rooms- Maddie and Faith's room. They love it! She heads straight for their bed and loves to crawl onto the mattress and then put her little head down on their pillows. Maddie and Faith call this their 'sleepover.' It's so fun to watch them playing so sweetly.

Busy few weeks

Computer was out of service for over a week, and just now getting back to what I had been working on project-wise before I decided to break our computer. Besides the computer problems, we were also all sick and managed to have two ridiculously large snowstorms in this span of two weeks.

Dan was stranded at work for two days during the second big snowstorm. It was fun being with my girls by ourselves, and yet a lot of work at the same time. But, we managed and still had fun at that which is what counts. Girlies have been busy "painting" the snow which is our new fun thing to do. Abrielle has been a riot lately. She looks so irresistible with her two little bottom teeth, and the girl manages to sneak up the stairs the second you are not keeping a hawk's eye view over her. She always has the sneakiest face too.

So much for vacation

We had been planning for quite some time to take the girlies to Disney this month. That didn't happen because our lovely roof started showing signs of leaking in October. Turned out to be the sunlight in the bathroom and not the roof, but it's still an expensive fix.

Then we had planned on taking a mini-vacation to Baltimore, and that was the reason for Dan being off this week. We had planned on leaving yesterday and seeing the aquarium and the awesome children's museum that we love there, and seeing the Disney on Ice show there on Friday. We figured Disney on Ice was better than no Disney at all. Turns out we will have to try for the Disney Princesses on Ice show coming here in April because of the story that is our life.

I started feeling some sort of strange feeling behind my ears yesterday. No idea what it is, but it eventually led to my entire throat being swollen by 9pm last night. My lymph glands are about the size of tennis balls, and the best way I can describe my appearance is to picture Joey from 'Friend's' when he was wearing the "fat suit" in one episode. If I didn't already like looking in the mirror before last night, it's even more unsightly now. I think my face has gained about 5 pounds! I did go to the doctor this afternoon, and they immediately sent me to the lab for bloodwork. Hopefully they'll tell me something soon, and I'm hopeful this swelling goes away very soon. It's quite uncomfortable.. not to mention, unsightly.

If my condition were not enough, they are also calling for about a foot of snow starting tomorrow afternoon. The Baltimore trip just wasn't meant to be. Hopefully we can still manage to get out to Harrisburg tomorrow to take the girls to a science museum that looks pretty cool, and if not we'll just have to wait for the inevitable snow tubing and sledding fun that should be Saturday for these little ladies.
