Elaine's New Glasses







Elaine has been waiting a long time to get her glasses, well, at least since sometime in Oct. When Drew had his eyes examinted we got his glasses that same day. Picking glasses out for Elaine was much more difficult. We both thought that something a little funky would fit the best with her personality. WE COULD NOT FIND THEM!!! A friend from Canada has a little petit thing just like Elaine and found great glasses for her. Those specific ones are no longer made, but the company that makes them has some really cute ones. When we first started looking we were going to have to drive down to Chicago to get glasses (cute funky ones), but then I got to thinking about the normal adjusting and things....I am not going down to Chicago every time she has problem with them. Then we found these at Lenscrafters and I didn't like there warrenty. We have to pay 50% of all repairs or replacements. Which STINKS! After a couple months of search the company that makes the really cute glasses now has a retailer in Janesville.....we were excited and went up there today....but no luck. There was none in the store. So we just went back to Lenscrafters and got these. I think they fit her well. AND she loves them because they are Barbie glasses!

Christmas Eve....well Christmas Eve Morning

Elaine is making a snow angel. I asked her to...hoping that should would sink into the snow. It is pretty packed and she just stayed on the top.
Just to give you an example of how much snow we have gotten how the past week and a half or so.
I used to curl Elaine's hair when we lived in MI....kind of a fun mommy thing to do when we wanted to waste so time. I no longer have much time to waste...but what the heck!



If only it was this easy to hair like this on my head!
Now for a diaper update....I have some strong opinions on something...I do realize that certain things work for others and not myself so don't get offended. Awhile back ago we were all at Target I think that we were getting travel stuff for either the 4th of July in Chicago or the weekend that Kris and I went away. I was in an isle and Kris brought over travel size bottles of Pantene shampoo and conditioner. I hate the stuff....I gave him a really funny look and said "Why do they even bottle that stuff?" Maybe it is because I used to have really fine hair and it made it fly away. He got after me for be snotty about it and I do realize that it does work for some and not for others....well I kind of have the same opinion on the diapers.......I have solved my issue and I realize that I will just have some blowouts I am sticking to the Huggies Supreme I did go up a size and don't seem to have as many issues. Even though the first size 2 that I put on Evan he did blow out of.
Evan also had it 2 month check up...he weights 12lbs 3oz 60%and is 24 inches long 85%. Looks like is %'s have really come down.
