Blog Slacker

Well I have been a bad blogger for weeks now.  I keep meaning to and then never get around to it.  So here is a quick update of our January.  Sam gets sick, Ally gets sick, Mommy gets sick, and then Daddy gets sick, and repeat.  Mommy and Daddy are both on antibiotics.  And Alexandra currently has RSV but is getting better.  We also have had lots of gymnastics, play dates, and visits to the aquarium.  We bought a season pass this year for something fun to do on cold days, and have been really enjoying it.  So if anyone wants to go the girls are always up for it.  Also, my dear friend Jennifer just had her first baby boy a week ago, and he is a real cutie.  So anyway, needless to say it's been busy.

For you out of town blog followers the girls have been growing like crazy lately.  Alexandra is really coming into her own.  She can say her ABC's, she can count to 5 and sometimes all the way to 10.  She has informed me that her favorite color is green, and she is starting to recognize several of her letters, and she won't be 2 until March, so we are quite proud.   Samantha is desperately trying to learn how to read.  She constantly is asking me what different words start with and she writes her name and Ally's name.  She also has about 5-8 sight words that she can read.  I can't believe how fast she is growing.  

Here are a few pics from this month...

      but she had to get up there to).

  My sweet Alexandra always has a bump or 

  bruise on her face, but she is still a cutie...
