Where Were We Wednesday...
Sheesh! I'm sorry, friends and loyal readers, I haven't posted since last Friday. I have been busy celebrating Sophie's birthday, knitting on the blankie, and to be honest, just barely holding my shit together as I deal with the aftermath of weeks of sick family and general life overload. I think things are looking up - Sophie is actually taking a nap in her crib at the moment, and Julie is hanging out playing with the valentines she brought home from their party at preschool this morning, so I have a few minutes to dump some pictures.
On Friday, the day of Sophie's birthday, I made ramen noodles for lunch, hoping that Sophie would wake up from her nap and feel up to trying some. Julie loved it, and demonstrated her chopstick skills admirably. Sophie wanted nothing to do with the noodles, and just stuck with more O's cereal.
That night, Joe brought home Punch pizza for dinner, and it was a hit as usual - even with Sophie, who wanted to eat off of *my* pizza, and kept asking for more pieces because she basically wanted to lick the tomato sauce off and eat not much else.
The next morning we checked out the new tent in the basement.
And the new play tunnel as well...
Sophie, while not back to 100% just yet, was obviously feeling much better.
Joe even got in on the action (sorry, honey, couldn't resist!)
And out of fairness, I got in on the action as well, and had Joe take my picture snuggling with the girls even though I was fresh out of bed and still sporting my bedhead jammie look. Let's all take a moment to admire that double chin, too!
Sunday afternoon I baked up a chocolate cake, and called Julie in to lick the frosting off the beaters while Sophie napped.
Sophie woke up just in time and got to lick some frosting off the spatula.
Sophie thoroughly enjoyed the singing of Happy Birthday and the blowing out of her candles. Thanks to our friend and neighbor Laura, who agreed to come over with her little family and eat cake with us and took the pictures.
Alls well that ends well. Everyone's relatively healthy at the moment once more. Knock on Wood.

Aww, you made her use a fork for her cake? I'm shocked!

She's getting so big, and so beautiful!
Happy Birthday to Sophie! I am glad that she is feeling better! And your cake looks super yummy--I want a piece!
Thanks again for having us over! We had a wonderful time.
