A weekend, library outing, and runny nose

This weekend was so great besides the fact that we were all sick. Jake didn't have any programs he needed to work on so Evelyn and I had a lot of time with Jake. We both love spending time with him. It was a quiet weekend. Even though we were sick we managed to get out of the house for just a little bit and go to the library (Evelyn's second home) when we knew a lot of people wouldn't be there. You can tell Evelyn is in her element when she walks into the children's section and starts pulling out books to flip through. The rest of the weekend was spend taking lots of bubble baths, and Jake and I taking turns being runny nose police.  Boy does that girl hate having her nose wiped! I love when we get weekends like this. Spending time as a family is my favorite thing to do in the entire world. And when the time comes along when Jake isn't busy with homework, we grab it and go! 

Life lately

I'm alive...I promise. Being sick for two weeks, working, and trying to keep everything together while your husband gears up for finals is a little stressful.  You guys all know how it goes! But I've learned not to let it get to me and just to enjoy any minute I get with Jake, even if it's just sitting next to him while he studies, and to love my little girl up. Plus how could I let myself get stressed when miss e speed crawls to me every time I come home from work to give me a big hug...(oh it's the best thing ever!) So here's a photo dump to prove we are alive and doing well and not stressing!

Enjoy.

A little getaway

After a not so fun week/weekend of all three of us being sick with the flu....(yeah talk about fun!) I needed to get out the house asap! But before I tell you about our little getaway, let me just say that I have the best baby ever. Even though we all were sick, she was still just her happy smiley self. What a blessing when such a tiny sick person could still be so happy! It made cleaning up all the nasty throw up just a tiny bit better because of all the smiles. Did I really just say that?! Anyways, after being cooped up in the house, we decided to take a drive through the Alpine Loop. I wanted to get up there before all the leaves fall because it seems like they all do in one day. Here are some pictures of our little outing. Miss e wanted to play and play with the leaves all day and was in baby heaven.
