Life

It has been awhile since I've posted so I will give you a brief update of our lives.
It finally snowed here in good old Iowa. Well, it snowed a bit before but this is the first snow that had to be scooped away. The ground is officially white and it looks as if it might stick around for awhile.
Mark is busy, busy, busy. Work is going well for him and he stays busy.
The girls are in the school and ballet routine again. Monday is a bit crazy with school, Ellie's ballet/tap and then I have volleyball at night as well. Thursday is Chloe's ballet day, which is a bit more relaxed since the girls don't have school that day.
Nolan is growing like crazy. He babbles dada's and baba's and a few mama's. He gets up on his hands and knees and looks like he is going to take off only to go backwards. I think it makes him mad when he gets further and further away from me. He likes to stand up and I'm pretty sure he will be walking in no time. After all he has to keep up with his cousin, Isabella.
I took Nolan to the Ear Nose and Throat doctor today. Nolan has been dealing with ear infection after ear infection. We were on antibiotics and then once he would be done, a week later he would be back on them. We just finished with a double ear infection which makes his count up to about 6. The ENT said it was time for tubes. There is a lot of pussy fluid behind the membrane so there is probably some hearing loss and it could affect his talking and balance if we don't get it taken care of. So on Feb 17, Nolan will go in for tubes in both ears. I hope after the surgery, he will sleep better at night and be a happy camper.

I am starting a diet/exercise thing with Mark's work. A bunch of Mark's co-workers and spouses are competing to see who loses the most weight and works out the most. Could be interesting since a lot of people Mark works with are already thin and don't need to lose any weight. I hope that means I win since I have plenty to lose. I'll keep you posted.
Enjoy the snow and stay warm~!
