Dr ~ Standing ~ Tea Party

The girls coughs weren't getting any better so I took them to the doctor last Wednesday.  Marley had a fever on and off and had the worst sounding cough.  Luckily both girls check out just fine.  Marley was given a decongestant drop to help with her drainage and cough.  Worked like a charm and she is pretty much back to normal now!

I've tried so many times to get a decent picture of her standing... since I usually only use my phone for photos there is a bit of a delay so they are kind of blurry...

Mastering 2 things at once... standing and clapping!!!  Way to go Marley!

and another tea party the next day :)  They play so well together!

Snow Day!

Lily had a blast playing in the snow last week.  She was a bit apprehensive at first... Really only because she didn't want to put on the snow pants.  Needless to say she didn't want to come back inside...

and warming up with her first ever cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows!

and the wonder in a childs eyes... melt my heart!

Random catch up...

Here is a little {big} catch up of the last few weeks...

Marley has been notorious for carrying things around in her mouth since she first crawled.  This birdie has been one of her favorites!  I always tell her she caught a little birdie...

A little over 2 weeks ago, Lily had a stomach bug.  She had gotten sick while I was still at work.  This continued all through the night.  Then was very weak and feverish the next day...

After 2 days of being sick, Lily finally joined us upstairs to decorate for Christmas! 

Picking out our Christmas tree!

I was a little concerned about how Marley would do with the tree.  I have found her in it a few times but overall she is doing great!!!

Both girls were really sick with colds.  Marley especially had a really bad cough and horrible congestion. 

2011 Christmas Tree!

Thanksgiving 2011

Just a few quick photos from Thanksgiving Day.  I made the girls turkey shirts :)

Troubles with blog :(

I've been having some issues with this blog recently!  For the past month, I've been trying to change out the photo at the top of my blog to no avail.  I kept getting a message that all of my FREE space was gone and that I would have to purchase space to upload more photos.  I was able to go through my Picasa gallery and delete a few unneeded photos in order to upload the blog header photo. 

Then I for some reason can no longer change the background to my blog.  When I go through the design portion of the settings I can erase the current HTML code but I cannot paste the new one.  It won't even acknowledge the fact the I right click in that box.  FRUSTRATED!!!  I've posted a question on Google help forums and haven't gotten any responses.  So... If anyone is reading this and has any inkling on how to help me, please let me know.  Thank you!!!
