So Sorry!

Don't you just love how appalled Marley gets when I don't update her blog forever...It's like she's saying come on mom...be a better blogger...Things have been crazy around our house the last couple of weeks. The weekend of Feb. 20th Brett and I flew to Florida on Saturday morning only to turn around and drive right back. We had to pick up a car we purchased from my Grandmother so Marley got to spend the weekend in Williamsburg with my parents. Here she is walking around CW (Colonial Williamsburg, for those of you not in the know, which I wasn't) on Saturday.Here she is ready for her day on Sunday. Isn't it just too cute how she's holding out her dress for everyone to see?This is Sunday night when she was playing with the new drum she got that weekend. She didn't stop playing with it from the time they brought it home around lunchtime.The following week we had another post-op visit for Little Miss' ears. We've been given the all clear! Now we just follow up with them every 4 months to monitor the tubes, make sure they aren't clogged and to keep an eye on when they may fall out.

The next weekend we went back down to Williamsburg so Daddy could get a little bit of quiet time working and help from Granddad on some school work. It was a great weekend because there wasn't anything we had to do.

Then this weekend our water heater exploded. So, we were without water all day Saturday and didn't have hot water until last night. And to top it all off Marley seemed to have a little bit of a tummy thing going on on Saturday. Yes, it was really quite lovely to not be able to wash my comforter after she threw up on it but all seems well now. Mommy installed all the safety stuff on the cabinets and (some) of the drawers in the kitchen because Marley loves to do this......while Daddy was installing the new water heater.

And here are just a couple of pics from the play park at the mall that I hadn't posted yet that I thought were cute...

So, this week is going to be super busy between appointments and conferences and finishing up details for Little Miss' first birthday party! Yes, hard to believe but Marley turns 1 this Saturday! We are so excited because Granny and Pop, Fancy and Granddad, and Aunt Chris and Uncle Mike are all going to be there. Along with a whole bunch of other good friends. I have a conference down in Richmond two days this week but I will try to post some "preview" pics of her party theme and what she'll be wearing. No promises though...

Here are a couple of more recent pics...

Our Little Nudist, she just loves running around the house naked, although we don't let her do it that often cause it's still pretty chilly here.

And these are from just this morning...My friend Adrienne from High School has opened an Etsy shop making "Sweet and Sassy Children's Clothing" You can access her blog on my sidebar, Our Unexpected Journey, where you can follow various links to her Etsy Shop, Lil' Sis Designs. Anyhow, Fancy got this outfit to support Adrienne and her son Bennett, who has DS (a portion of all the proceeds go to DS research). Doesn't she just look darling?! And her new shoes match perfectly!

And, I've been trying to upload a video for quite sometime now and it's just not cooperating. I have 3 that I'd like to share so check back for those and the birthday preview!

Have a great week!
