A week of visits

This week has been a busy week. It seems everyone has come to visit. On monday one of my good friends, Breana was in town with her husband and son. The girls and I went to the mall and had lunch with them. Breana's son, Jaden is somewhere in the middle between Sawyer and Maisy's ages; it's fun seeing them interact and compare stories of the latest antics.

Then that afternoon my cousin and her husband were in town because the next day they were heading to omaha to fly out to florida for a vacation, I wanted to go with them, enjoy the nicer weather and see some family too, but I'm stuck here in the cold yet again. This is a picture of Sawyer covering my cousin's husband in tissue paper while he was sleeping... I have to say we did encourage it.

Wednesday brought more people. My mother came to town to see two old exchange students from Japan were in Norfolk. Mizuki, who lived with us, and Arisa, who was here the same year but with a different family.

We got to spend a good part of the day with them and part of the next. They are very funny girls and were very excited to meet Sawyer and Maisy. They took nonstop pictures and were laughing at all my girls cuteness.

Somewhere in the mix an old neighbor of mine growing up came over for a visit to net my girls and to see my mother. Sawyer I think felt very spoiled with all these new people see was getting to see. So she showed off how talkative and crazy she could be.

Overall it was a very exciting week. A little tiring but good to see so many people. It was also nice having space for people to come in and visit with us.

Doctors appt

Today was maisy's 2 month check up. She is growing, maybe not so much like a weed, but shes getting there.
8lbs 4oz
20 3/4"
That may seem little but it's bigger than before and it's right along the chart's line... Shes in the 5%-10% on the chart
Doctor says everything looks wonderful. Shes super strong and healthy, but of course we knew she would be! ;)
She did really great with the exam. Shes pretty laid back when it comes to things so getting moved about didn't really effect her much, she just sat there very nice while staring at mommy the whole time.
The only bad time was the shots at the very end, which we both fell asleep waiting for. So sad to see littles so upset.
well we go back again in 2 months we'll let you know how it goes love you

Presents

Today in the mail we got a very lovely present from GranJan and Granpy, Maisy's quilt! It reminds me of the beach with waves and sand, makes you want to have the summer weather right now. And it's right in time for some nebraska nice weather. Sawyer laid down on it like two seconds after I laid it out to look at. Maisy will have to fight for her share. :)  Thanks GranJan for your handiwork!

Zoo

Valentines day my sister and I decided randomly to head to omaha to go to the zoo, since we had nothing else to do today and the weather has been so nice! (40's! sweatshirt weather compared to single digits and negatives) And it ended up being a really great time. I just love the zoo and sawyer liked running around and looking at the animals. Though a couple of times took off, shes a fast little girl.. Maisy slept most the time but I think she enjoyed the fresh air.
Another thing is I got to use my new sit n stand stroller! I've had it a little while but I've only used it at the mall, so it was great getting it out to stretch it's legs lol. walking in the sunshine and having fun. we loaded down the stroller and boy it really can fit alot. I love it! Well I hope you all enjoyed the day as well as I did love you

Hi!

Today while out and about, I realized how joyful Sawyer is. She's so great, she has to tell ¡everyone! we pass in the stroller "hi" and wave at them. She's always making everyone smile, it's like an involuntary thing when they see her. Even people that look like they would not be"kid" people tell her hi back or start talking to her. It makes me happy knowing Sawyer is so happy and friendly, she seems to love everyone, especially little kids, she seeks them out. So from Sawyer to you all "HI"

Sunshine

The weather here the last couple weeks hasn't been the most welcoming to be outside. We've had windchills as cold as -45. So to say the least we've been staying indoors as much as possible and bundling up when we do go out of doors. 
But we have some good news coming our way! This next week its supposed to warm up to the 40's! How long it will stay I'm not sure but hopefully we'll get some fun in the sun.  Little maisy doesn't see really anything when we go out and about as she is completely covered with blankets and sawyer gets painfully cold hands, she is know to take off her gloves in the car where mom can't put then back on, so im looking forward to maybe taking a walk or just not having to worry as much about the girls getting too child. 

Moving

So A LOT has been going on. And to make things crazier, I decided we should move. Saturday we got most everything moved into the new place. It's a little house where we are renting to main floor. The elderly gentleman that owns it spends most his time in minnesota where his wife is in a group/nursing home type thing. Its nice having some more space and it will be saving us money which is always nice. It's been sort of overwhelming but it feels like a step in the right direction. Sawyer surprisingly hasn't had any issues with the move, she just likes playing in all the empty boxes.  Maisy doesn't realize what's going on she just goes with the flow of things, she is a very content little baby.
