Leap Day

This morning I decided we all needed a little extra sleep so we stayed home from Bible Study.  We slept in until 8 am!  It was much needed and great!

After we were all up, we got dressed up to go visit daddy at work!  I had a coupon for my birthday to our favorite Milford restaurant.  Mikayla was so excited to go to "Georgia's House" as she calls it.

We finally got out the door around 11 and headed on the 50 minute trip.  When we arrived, it was pouring so Matt helped us run in to visit the office friends.  I sat and fed Liam in Pop Pop Krupka's office while the girls visited all of their Burris friends.

We got to the restaurant and it was empty!  Major plus for us.  The girls did a great job of sitting at the table and eating all of their food!  Usually they are so distracted, they don't end up eating much.  My coupon was for a dessert, so we all shared it.  It was a huge brownie and ice cream.  It's a good thing there were people to share with me, because it was 26 WW points!!

It was a great last day to my birthday month!

How Quickly Time Passes

Phew!  It's amazing how quickly time gets away from me.  I look back at all that has happened and get overwhelmed at where to start.  Again, the reason I need to blog more often.

Anyway, last week we took Liam to the chiropractor because he seems to favor looking to the left.  He did great, and there was a spot in his neck that was "caught" that needed to be adjusted so he could turn to the right more.  He also had "tight" hips that needed a little work.

We had a follow up visit today, and Dr. E said things look so much better!  He readjusted Liam's neck and hips, but with much more ease than last time.  We go back for one final visit next week!  Liam did great and didn't scream at all!

Mikayla has her good days and not so good days.  She seems to be growing out of taking a nap every day.  I let her stay up a few days a week, but she barely makes it to bedtime without a meltdown (sometimes, she doesn't make it without a meltdown).  It makes for a nice bedtime routine, because she doesn't get up for a drink or any other excuse she can think of...50 times.  But, it does make for a stressful dinner time and family time after dinner.  We are still working on it.

Calli has really started to turn into a little talking machine.  She is holding entire conversations with me now.  I understand most of what she says too.  She has recently gone through a growth spurt and is "thinning" out while growing taller.  She just got two of her 2 year molars, and I am glad that is over!

I realize how much the children are changing and how quickly they are doing it!  We are finally starting to settle into a routine, and life with 3 kiddos is getting easier!
