A visit from Auntie Onie

Mike's aunt from North Dakota (his mom's sister) visited last week.  We were so excited to meet her.  Evan insisted on being the first one (of Reid and me) to meet her.  Mary and Aunt Judy had a great week running around with Aunt Onie.  It was so nice to have her here.  :)

Spaghettio's Anyone?

St. Patty's Day Waffles

We made green waffles for St. Patrick's Day a week early.  We were fired up for St. Patty's Day this year - - then Evan got strep for the 4th time.  :(  He had to skip the party and go to Ti's instead.  (He was happy with the trade off though.)  Here are some pictures of green waffles and getting ready for Corndog Day (the 1st Saturday of the NCAA tournament - which coincided with St. Patrick's Day this year).

Before Reid Turns 11 Months...

...I had better post the 9 month pictures.  I feel like I'm going in so many directions these days - and to the desktop computer is the last direction I go.  My mom, who is laid up with a broken ankle has requested an update - here you go Mom...your baby grandson in his 10 month pose with the same chair (your idea).  :)

February

 Here is Mr. Shaggy Hair at exactly 9 months old.

 Here is Reid on Valentine's Day.  He got his own Pillow Pet, Ryne Sandberg.  He also got a haircut 2 days before that.

 Evan got a new Cubbies hoodie for Valentine's Day.  He loved it.

 The pictures above and below are two of my favorites this month.  :)

 I told Evan about how Ti and I used to wear Grandma Peggy's fuzzy robes around when we were little girls.  He thought that was awesome, and took over one of my mom's robes.  He sleeps with Mimi's robe most nights.  

 Reid has mac & cheese face here - ready for the tub!

 Aunt Lou Lou got him giggling with a little Patty Cake.

Someone found out that under the kitchen table is awesome.

Reid and Evan have both been regulars at the doctor this month.  Evan has had Strep 3 times in 30 days...Reid has a double ear infection right now...Reid is 21 pounds and Evan is 46 pounds.  We have some solid boys on our hands. We're hoping March is a healthier month for us.  :)
