It has been so crazy the past few weeks.
My Great Great Aunt Callie, who just recently moved back to Kansas, died on the 12th of this month. It was very sad to see her go, but she is in a much better place now. The viewing was on Sunday the 15th and the funeral was Monday the 16th. I can't believe it's already been a week since her funeral. I think its so strange how fast time seems to go when death is present.
Claire came down with a virus 2 weeks ago. She was running a fever and was extremely cranky. I thought it might have been an ear infection, but when I took her to the doctor both of her ears were fine! As soon as Claire was feeling better, however, James caught a stomach bug. It seemed to have spread throughout the house. Thankfully though I didn't catch anything! I can't afford to be sick right now!
Claire had her 18 month check up today, and everything went swimmingly. Except for her screaming as loud as she possibly could during the entire visit. She weights 21 1/2 pounds and is almost 32 inches tall. The doctor said she is beautiful and to keep up the good work. She has also started breaking more teeth in! FINALLY! She went months and months of only have 2 on top and 2 on bottom. Now she has 2 top molars, 2 bottom molars and the 2 teeth on either side of the 2 bottom teeth. More is coming... oh joy. Teething is definately not fun!
On top of all this craziness I had all 3 of my telecourse classes sneak up on me. I have stayed up til 1am almost every night for the past week. I'm sooo exhausted! After the test I have on Saturday everything should wind down. This should teach me to not procrasinate! The end is near though. May 9, 2009 is my graduation, June 18, 2009 is the last class of the program, and December 2009 is when I should receive my degree. Backwards? Yes...
Hopefully I'll get some pictures up! I know reading is not always the fun part of a blog. Now if only I can find my camera charger....

Superbowl Sunday
We had a very busy week! James' grandparents were going out of town and needed someone to watch Olivia and Mackenzie. We picked them up from school on Wednesday and had them until last night. They are extremely busy girls, and I'm sure James is exhausted from running them around everywhere. I hope they had fun! I tried to make it exciting and different than the everyday norm, but with limited resources it's kinda hard.
For Superbowl Sunday we went over to my dad's. We got there around 3:30 or 4 and ate hamburgers, hotdogs, stuffed mushrooms, potatoes that were to die for, and all sorts of other goodies. Claire was really good while we watched the game. It was nice to sit down with my family and watch football. At half time Cindy had meatballs, wings, pigs 'n a blanket, and more goodies! I ate entirely way too much. Sam had a few friends over and that made the night very entertaining. It's so funny to sit back and see how highschool students act and wonder if you acted that same way when you were that age. We left right as Arizona got a touchdown before the end of the game. James was very excited and hoped for a win from the Cardinals. Every team he picks for the Superbowl always ends up losing. I must say I was extremely disappointed with the commercials this year. I did like the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head one, but no other one stuck out to me. Stupid Janet Jackson... the Superbowl has never been the same.
Claire has 2 molars coming in. She has been a complete bear to deal with. She has been irritable, and cranky, and down right mean. I hope they come in soon so she's back to her sweet, cuddly self. She had a horrible night last night. She woke up screaming at two in the morning as if she were being stabbed. I finally had to break and let her come into bed with us, but then she wasn't happy with me because I wouldn't let her nurse. Hopefully today and the rest of this week goes by fast... and hopefully those teeth come through!
