is it spring yet???

sorry for the delayed blog!  mommy thought she was getting over her cold and then got hit with a very painful ear infection.  after waiting out wednesday’s blizzard, we dug the car out and she got to the doctor to get some antibiotics yesterday.  her left ear is still ringing, but hopefully the worst is over.  (speaking of blizzard, here’s a few pics of the aftermath. we got about a foot of snow accompanied by 70mph winds!)     

i have been doing well this week, but i’m missing my daddy a lot.  he is in san diego (lucky duck) enjoying warmer temps and his annual superintendent’s conference.  he will return just in time for valentine’s day so i can give him a little something i made especially for him.  in addition to making valentines, i have been spending my time being a lovely princess, dancing and playing with my doggies!

   

 

we had a fun trip to iowa at the end of january!  since we couldn’t go after christmas like we had originally planned, we had a late christmas celebration with our family and friends up there.  it was so great to see everyone again and share some gifts and good food!  some of the things i got are new puzzles, books, games, baking supplies for my kitchen, a flowery camelbak, a froggy pillow and blankie, a travel doodle and a pink laptop computer.   

 

 

mimaw took me to build-a-bear for the first time as a late birthday gift.  of course, i choose to make a bear!  i really loved making him and picking out his outfit!  he wears a hawkeye t-shirt with black pants and black boots!  his name is mr. frog.  he is somehow related to froggy…we just don’t know exactly how.

 

grandma and grandpa took me to the bettendorf children’s museum one day.  they were having an interactive dance class to celebrate angelina ballerina.  i had a great time dancing with grandma while grandpa sure had a fun time snapping pictures of us!  i loved exploring the other parts of the museum so much that i didn’t want to leave!

     

the weekend after we returned from iowa, daddy left for his trip to california and mommy and i took the doggies down to georgia to visit our friends.  we had a great time playing together!  on saturday night, we had nine kids (age 6 and under) at leah’s house for dinner and playtime.  we had so much fun playing, dancing and just being silly.
