Blizzard

Winter came storming in this morning in the form of a blizzard. We have some large drifts in the backyard from what I have been able to see. It was a little difficult being 'stuck' home all day and with as antsy as I have felt  I'm sure the girls were feeling it too. I was able to catch up some on laundry... which reminds me there is probably still a load sitting on my bed waiting to be folded. It's so hard to do that with the girls sometimes, they are just so helpful!

I'm finally almost done with my Fall Semester. The final is on Monday and I'm so thankful that by all appearances I did quite well even though at times I felt like it was falling apart. It's hard being a student and mom of three.

Church has already been canceled so we won't be going out in the morning. Hopefully it will be cleared up by the afternoon at least. Tom will have quite the job of digging us out. If we had the extra income it would have been nice to have a snowblower. But not this year and that is ok. I only wish I had a stronger back to help him. Hopefully we can avoid more snow ;)

Yikes! I completely forgot to write about how Kiley & Kara's 1 year check up went. They are each 20lbs and 28 inches long (i think Kara is 3 oz heavier but hard to tell if it was accurate lol) It was extremely hard to take them in. Our appointment was at 11:10, I got there at 10:45 (early I know...) we got in at 11:45... my girls were running all over that waiting room and it was all I could do to keep up with them. They were tired and hungry and wanted to go. They each got three shots, Kiley pinched her fingers twice in drawers and bumped her head on one of the cabinets trying to get in. They were not happy campers by the time they got pricked. They were due for the Varicella vaccine (chickenpox) but I decided not to give it to them. Abby if you remember got the chickenpox from the vaccine and with my luck Kiley & Kara would too.... during Christmas. So we decided to hold off on it. I did let them have the flu shot because I'm just ... so tired of them being sick all of the time. Hopefully it will help.

Otherwise they are looking beautifully and on track developmentally, perhaps a bit behind in speech but with their ears as bad as they were they are making up fast. I needed to make an eye appointment for Kiley because the poor thing is showing symptoms of 'Lazy Eye' ... something I had as a girl. Hopefully she doesn't have it but we have to be safe and check it out. If she did have it and it was left untreated she have blindness, nothing to mess around with. So no shortage of doctors appointments here. We will see what they say, hopefully we are just being careful.
