11.21.10 - Weeeeeeeeeee!

It was ... Absolutely. Beautiful. Today.

In fact, Wichita may have set a record high today (eat your heart out, Hawaiian vacationers!) so between lunch and afternoon naps we squeezed in a few minutes at a nearby park. We've been there before and Maddie loves the slides. Today, Nate got to play, too, having a ball on the swings with his Mommy.

11.20.10 - Not my mom

Aunt Emily is staying with us tonight because her job brought her to town. But it just so happens that tonight is Bunco night so while Angie's away, Emily helped entertain Nate. They played a few toys and read a few books. Nate did fine but this look seemed to sum it up: "I have no idea who this woman is but she's NOT my mom, dad!"

11.19.10 - I got the fever

Nate's fever just isn't going away but it isn't getting any worse. We've been taking his temp regularly and pumping him with baby Tylenol. Being sick sucks. :(

11.18.10 - Poor baby

Nate's been fighting a slight fever today. He woke up after being in bed for an hour tonight. After changing his diaper, he rolled over on his tummy, butt in the air, and laid there on the floor. Poor guy, he felt so rotten. So I stretched out next to him and snuggled. I don't know if he felt better but it made me feel better for him.

11.17.10 - Full house

Fortunately, I think there's room for at least one more.

11.16.10 - Driving Miss Maddie

We went shopping for a new kitchen sink faucet tonight at Lowe's and Nate drove the car cart with Maddie. Although Maddie wasn't interested in it at first, she later walked over to one and wanted in. It was their first time to take one for a spin and they had a pretty good time although they're terrible drivers.

11.15.10 - Baby cages

Angie's boss in the library at KU refers to playpens as "baby cages." When you have two kids (and one on the way) you can't afford fancy baby cages so diaper boxes will have to work. :)

11.14.10 - Monkey hat

We ordered a monkey hat pattern online a few days ago and hired a co-worker to crochet it for us.

11.13.10 - Full belly

When I have a full belly, I like a nap, too! I usually make it away from the dinner table, though!

11.12.10 - Time for bed, little monkey

And you, too, Nate!
