Today’s Update

ByKaren

Jodi here… I spoke with Karen this morning and everyone is doing well. I read to her all the well wishes that everyone posted to her. Thank You!

Karen is blissfully enjoying Allison and on her road to recovery. Allison is sleeping and eating just great (burping and pooing too which is exiciting news when you have a new baby!) Holly I am sure is loving all the playtime with her Daddy and Grandparents and Steve is holding down the fort. Holly is understanding that mommy is staying at the doctors and she goes home with Daddy. She understands too that Baby Sister will be coming home to their house. I am sure she will be a great big sister!

When I first saw the picture of Allison I couldn’t help think “does she look like Holly when Holly was born?” Isn’t it funny that we do that when a baby is born? We want to know who they resemble. So I had to dig thru my stored photos from almost 2 1/2 years ago. I found Holly’s newborn picture. And no, they don’t look too much alike right now. It will be interesting to see as Allison grows if they will look alike. Here is the comparison photo. Holly is the top picture.


Karen and Steve have two beautiful girls!!!!

Allison The Snow Princess

ByKaren

Allison still loves Dora.  She doesn’t watch the show too much, but she loves Dora’s books.  She has a pile of them sitting in her bed that she reads to Eeka at night.  She knows most of the stories herself now after hearing them so much.  I love listening to her ‘read’ the stories because she is right on with so many of the details. Today we were in Job Lot and we went by the kids book aisle.  I noticed some Dora books and went through them all to see what she had and didn’t have.  We ended up getting 6 more but they were only $1.00 each so why not! Needless to say, she’s excited to read to Eeka tonight. So what does…

Boxes and more Boxes……….

ByKaren

We still have boxes.  It’s been almost 2 months but the girls rooms still have boxes in them.  IT doesn’t look like this anymore..  (Allison popped up from behind a box when I snapped the picture!) ….but the boxes in the back corner that you see in that picture are still not unpacked.  The problem is they are full of toys – toys that they probably don’t need since they haven’t played with them in like 3 months considering they were packed up before we moved. Why do they have so many toys?  Because I can’t resist myself.  I see something they will like and I find a way to get it.   In my defense, a lot of the toys are for review on the…

A Blonde Zebra???

ByKaren

Have you ever seen a blonde Zebra?  I have. Of course I have. No, I’m not crazy.  I just live in a house full of Zebras so of course I’ll see weird things happening with those Zebras.   Put a Zebra, a 4 year old and Repunzel together and guess what you get? A blonde zebra……………… See I told you!

Day Four of Spring Break School Vacation {Beauty Makeovers, Softball and Birthday}

ByKaren

Today was day 4 of the girls Spring Break.   It was so cold and windy today….. not crazy about this weather but it’s better than the rain we had yesterday!  At least the sun was out today. Today was Allison’s 7th birthday and she woke up very excited about the day.  But not just because it was her birthday but because we were going to Empire Beauty School for a day of Princess makeovers!!!  Holly and Allison were 2 of 8 girls, I mean princesses, that were going to get their hair, makeup and nails done! It went very well…. Allison ready to go! Holly started with her nails…. Allison got her hair curled…. Holly choose blue nail polish (of course, it’s her favorite color!)…

Me & My Silly Girls

ByKaren

We spent the weekend at my parents while Steve was traveling and before we left I wanted to leave some cute pictures of the girls on my mother’s camera. They were so silly. The camera settings were off at first so some of them are blurry but they were too cute to not post. Allison was being silly closing her eyes. Holly thinks she’s a model, always striking a pose. Allison isn’t quite sure what to do. She figured it out. lol

Blogger In Training

ByKaren

  Allison wants to be just like mommy – she wants to drink coffee and water because I do and she wants to be a blogger some day, because I am.  We’ve been tossing around a few ideas for her ‘blogging’ name and I believe we’ve settled on Little Koupon Karen. I think that will fit her perfectly as she is a little me!

  2. No, they really don’t look alike! Of course, we can’t see Allison’s hair in that pic. They are both truly beautiful!

  3. Great idea Jodi! I can see a few similarities in their faces, but also differences. I can’t wait to see how they grow together.
