Bows...my latest obsession

It's almost 10:30 but I'm so keyed up from a not so great day at work that I just have to share these two things.

First of all, we got our first and probably only snow of the winter. Of course we were off Monday for President's Day but it was still quite lovely to get my snow fix! Raegan loved "seeing it" from the window behind the sofa.



And then there's this:
When Raegan was born I became obsessed with Etsy.com. In that, I thought that I could be the bow making mommy so I took it upon myself to begin making her bows and was quite good at it. However, I let it rest awhile when went back to work and recently thought I'd do some research to start it up again. Thanks to pinterest....I'm a very proud bow making mommy. Now I just need more ribbon:)

Catching up...

Long time, no blog! It's been awhile but I've been swamped with the stuff of life. Let me catch you up.....
On January 17th I got a phone call from my sitter.....who we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! She says to me that Raegan has fallen and her head is bleeding pretty badly so she wants me to take a look. Okay I'm thinking, it's a workday so we agree that she will swing by. You could literally push the gash together. I knew when a teacher friend who never worries said to take her to the doctor, we were in for it. So, five stitches , and the worst pediatrician visit ever later, we made it home. I obsessed the entire week about how it would look. I prayed A LOT! She was quite happy though as you can see.

Then came the day for removal...finally! This would be my first time taking her to the doctor alone, yes I'm a little spoiled. I also made the foolish choice to have her 15 month checkup on this same day. Poor baby....2 hours, 5 stitches less, 2 thigh, and 1 arm shot later we were at Target for an "I'm sorry sweet baby girl" shopping session and a prescription for the double ear infection she had.

Well, that was just week 1 since my last post. Since then I've been sick, she's had a cold and rash with fever, and daddy has bronchitus. This mommy and teacher needs a SNOW DAY!

Now, there's light at the end of my tunnel. Valentines' Day was Tuesday. Raegan woke up with me at 6 a.m. and thoroughly enjoyed her sweethearts day toy. It was a great day that ended with the daddy bringing home dinner and roses after his doctor visit....such a sweet daddy!
