So this morning Ivy came into our room at 7 o'clock, hopped in bed, put her arms around me and said "I love you, mom..I'm never gonna let you go". *heart melting*

We went up to Omaha last night to see Ryan Bingham play at the Waiting Room and had a blast. We met up with friends Valerie and Erin and jammed out in the front row. He's probably most commonly known for the songs he contributed to the Crazy Heart soundtrack. Here's a video for your enjoyment :)

The girls have had a rough couple weeks. Eric stayed home with them last Monday because Ivy had pink eye and Ada hasn't felt well either. He took them to the doc to get Ivy some drops, and lo and behold, Ada had an ear infection. Apparently her tube was blocked by wax, so we got some drops and an antibiotic to clear that up. Ivy's pink eye was gone shortly after and we thought we were on the road to recovery. Then Saturday night Ivy said her ear hurt, so I took her to the doc on Sunday and sure enough, she had an ear infection. She's feeling much better after the antibiotic, and although the girls seem to be on their way to recovery, I have picked up whatever they were passing around. I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck. All I can say is TGFM - Thank God for Mucinex! I'm just praying that Eric doesn't get a man-cold as a result of this..

One of my New Year's resolutions is to keep my blog updated. I love looking back at things we've done, or funny things the kids have said. I just need to make time to sit down and type!

Well something that is too cute not to blog about is what Ada calls Fruit Loops. She repeats about anything you ask her to say, so we try to think of funny or difficult words for her. One of our favorites is to hear her say absolutely. So we spend a lot of time saying "Ada, can you say absolutely?". She also loves to eat Fruit Loops cereal, so for some reason when she asks for some, she'll say "I want some absoloops". Here's a video of a few cute things we like to hear her say...
