LET'S PLAY CATCH-UP...

Saturday was a day with my girl! My precious niece, Mackenzie. She's getting so big and learning so much I just LOVE spending time with that little one. Kyle and Steph got out for a few quiet hours alone while Kenz and I read tons of books (or more like the same book tons of times), had a Taylor Swift dance party, played The Itsy Bitsy Spider 1743623 times on her toy piano, and watched the snow storm outside. It was a blast. See for yourself:

Aunt Kara's cell phone is so fun!

Moo Cows!

She's even working on her 'I Love You':



Kenzie/Aunt Kara day is a success!


Sunday/Monday/Tuesday I was pretty much out for the count. I woke up on Sunday hardly able to open my eyes from some kind of pink eye, but it wasn't until it got 10x worse on Monday morning that I knew I had to go to the eye doctor. Thank goodness I live close to home, Mom had to come pick me up to chauffeur me around because I couldn't see anything. Scary! But nice to feel like you're 6 years old again with mom driving you to the doctor :)

Turns out, the doc said I have Corneal Inflammation (aka inflamed corneas). Weird, I know. Who gets this stuff and how does one even get it?! Who knows, but if you can help it, I don't recommend contracting this, it's the worst pain I've ever felt in my eyes.

After a couple days of rest at home and some miracle eye drops, I have my eyes back :) Praise God.

Wednesday my sister, Kelly, and nephew, Ryan, came up for a visit (banner week for the nieces and nephews!) Unfortunately the daunting snow storm predicted for the weekend cut their short trip even shorter, but I'm so glad for the few-hour visit we had. I forget how fast babies grow in the first few months! No pictures from this time, but hopefully our next visit isn't too far away.

Dude, I didn't know you did all this with my daughter. Sounds awesome except for the Taylor Swift dance party, never had one of those.

I spent last Sunday with my nephew! He was laying on the floor when I got there so I just let him stay there. And then I thought he was sleepy, so I picked him up, which just woke him up... and so I put him in his jumperoo... and O M G, that boy was jumping up and down like cray cray. I should post the video I took of him! Haha... anyway, the next thing you know, homeboy was PASSED THE EFF OUT. He was adorable. :)

Okay, now that I'm done talking about myself and my nephew, the other thing I wanted to say was that--OMG YOUR NIECE IS FREAKIN' CUTE! I want to pinch those cheeeeks!
