Happy New Year!

It has been awhile since I posted something -- Caitlin and I have been sick. Here's a short recap -- we were supposed to go to Ft. Smith on Christmas day. That part of the state got a snow/ice storm on Christmas Eve and it didn't thaw until the day after Christmas.

Na Na and Po Po came over for awhile on Christmas day and we put Caitlin's new Tinkerbell toddler canopy bed up. She loved it and slept in it that night with no trouble. Her crib went with Na Na and Po Po to Conway for baby Layton and Aunt Megan's new baby (due in July) to use.

Ft. Smith thawed the next day, so we headed there to see Pop Pop. There was still snow on the ground and the kids loved it! Caitlin and I both got sick, so we didn't enjoy the visit as much as we hoped and cut it short to come home and get well.


Both kids were so excited to see snow!

We came back here and have spent most of the week recuperating. Caitlin went to the doctor on the 30th and luckily, the only thing wrong with her was a persistent cough. We forced some honey and warm coke down her and she did much better. We also got a prescription for some cough syrup in case she needed it. She was much better the next day and has been since, but still has a snotty nose.

We spent New Year's Eve, our 10th anniversary, at home with the kids. We had some good snuggles with both of them on the couch before they went to bed.



New Year's day we headed to Na Na and Po Po's to celebrate Christmas with the Berryhill side of the family.



Unfortunately, Aunt Brooke was sick, so the Hoofmans didn't make it and Layton didn't get to use the crib that was set up and ready for him -- it looks so pretty in Na Na's guest room.


Too bad Layton didn't get to use the crib, because the bigger kids really enjoyed it!



Na Na and the kids were excited that we had a kids table for the first year!
