First Emergency Room Visit

My little ballerina girl, Gabriella, was twirling around at Gym'Nees and smacked her chin on the ground. Nobody really knows how she did this, but she busted it open pretty good-- so off to the E/R we went. Everybody was super helpful while I grabbed all our stuff and headed out the door. I dropped off Isabelle (luckily our new ayi, Cherry, was there) and picked up Travis (he gets to sleep-in on Sundays) and we headed to the downtown BJU hospital, which is the same one all three girls were born.

Four stitches later, Gabriella was good as new. We had some ice-cream and went out for lunch. We rarely go out with just the three of us, so that was nice. :)

Girl's Night

Vicki, Hayley, Me, Deb

A much needed Mommy-Night-Out for us! We went to a Mexican restaurant and then to a local bar. Talked and laughed a lot. Good times, so I think this will be a monthly thing :).

Vicki is from England and knows the area I grew up (when I lived there). Her husband is in the Navy and lived in Washington State-- so random! What a small world.

CNY Highlights

Charlie, Olivia, and Esme

We had a week off for CNY (Chinese New Year) and a friend of ours organized play dates for every morning. Thank goodness! It was a lot of fun re-connecting with families we haven't seen in awhile.

She's DONE.

It was a "Doe-wa" (as Isabelle would say) birthday party. It was quick and easy, but fun. Not much you can do with a bunch of toddlers, except keeping them from not sharing toys.

Isabelle's CNY Party

Liam and another boy

We work with Liam's parents at ISB

Isabelle's school had a little party for Chinese New Year. My little baby was sill feeling under the weather, which can be seen in these photos... She's not quite her happy, smily self... :( Nonetheless, she did enjoy the music part!
