1. Ellie started visiting the next room up at day-care. This is the oldest room at the Center, so she will be in it for almost 2-years. The teachers love her and said she is really well behaved. Makes me proud to hear that, although I already knew it.
2. Neve has started throwing fits. Ellie never got into that so it is a new experience. I hope she grows out of it soon.
3. We went shopping and picked up winter coats for everyone last weekend. The mall was packed and I was quickly reminded why I love to shop for Christmas gifts prior to Thanksgiving--- I am not a busy mall person.
4. I had dinner with a broker for work last night. It is unusual to find a female broker and then to match it up with a female investor is even more rare. She is younger, with her oldest being around Neve's age. It was fun to talk to someone in the same field as me with a similar home-life. Minus the fact that she is from New York and lives in a 2-bedroom condo with her family of 4, only owns one car and drives it about once a month.
5. The girls might just get to wear their Saint Louis Cardinal gear one more time before the season is over! Go Cardinals!

1. Neve had her 18-month check-up on Friday. She received a couple shots, which ended up giving her a fever. We were up at 11 o'clock Friday night stripping her down and giving her a cool bath trying to get the fever to come down from the high of 104.7. Not a fun night, but she was doing better by Sunday.
2. Of course we were planning on going to Omaha with my sister and her family on Saturday and Sunday. We booked rooms at the waterpark and were going to go to the zoo. Ellie was crushed when I told her we couldn't go since Neve was sick. Nick took her to the bike shop and coffee shop instead, I think that helped.
3. By Sunday afternoon Neve's fever was down, so we made a quick trip to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard. The bees were everywhere, so it wasn't the best time--- although no one was stung and we still ended up picking out a pretty pumpkin to carve.
4. Neve and I went on her class field trip to a different pumpkin patch on Tuesday. Ellie and Nick went with her class on Thursday. I think we all had a good time and the girls each picked out their own little pumpkin.
5. We had family pictures last night! I cannot wait to get them printed so I can finish up the wall above the couch! We have owned the house for almost 2 years and I am just now getting things up on the wall. Speaking of the house, we have officially lived in the 'new' house an entire year without interruption! I still get giddy thinking about how much I love our house and the perfect family of four we have living in it.

1. Our house has come down with colds. Neve and I last weekend, and Nick and Ellie at the end of this week.
2. Last weekend was low key with me trying to recover from the cold quickly. I do not think Neve left the house the entire weekend.
3. We love the cooler weather! There are night when it requires a jacket, but over we love it.
4. This week was observation week at dance. Normally the doors are closed so the kids will focus on the teachers and not the parents, but twice a year the parents are invited in to see what the kids do during class. It was really cute and I think Ellie liked having Mommy watch her.
5. Since Nick bikes on dance night, we had one of Neve's old teachers from day-care come over and watch her so I could watch dance class without a little one in tow. I think Neve enjoyed having Ms. Allison visit, at least that is what I gathered when Neve cried because Ms. Allison was leaving.

1. Friday kicked off celebrating birthday weekend (my actual birthday was on Sunday). Nick and the girls sent me roses to work and we had friends over for dinner and celebrating!
2. Saturday morning Ellie and I went to the CFI Princess Party. I think she had a good time and the proceeds benefit a great cause. Her favorite part was having her picture taken with the princesses. If Ellie wants to go again next year I would do the packages a little differently, but overall it was a fun time.
3. Saturday night Nick and I went out to dinner at Latin King (one of my favorites)... just the two of us! The girls stayed home with one of their favorite teachers from day-care. When I asked Ellie on Sunday what her favorite part of yesterday was she responded with "Playing with Miss Kaitlin."
4. Sunday we went out to dinner with Nick's mom and her husband. Cheesecake Factory. Two of my favorite places to eat in one weekend! Oh my. It really was a weekend of celebrating and I had the best birthday!
5. I guess the celebrating was supposed to continue, as I was surprised during my annual review at work with a promotion! My new title is Assistant Portfolio Manager. Nick asked what I wanted to do to celebrate, but after last weekend I think I just want to stay at home, play with the girls and watch a movie after they go to bed. Maybe with a bottle of wine.
