My Birthday Weekend

What a wonderful weekend!  So, my 28th birthday was this past Friday, and I can't imagine a better celebration!  My mom and dad came in to spend the weekend with us, and my sister, Tiffany, came for a visit too!  We went to Rodeo Houston on Friday night to see the Reba concert, which was fabulous!!  Tiffany stayed at the house and babysat for Ethan and Elise, which was such a treat for them!  Tiffany is SO good with both of them....they both just LOVE her.  And as I've mentioned before, Ethan is never happier than when he's with his best pal, Paw!

Ethan is just growing up so fast!  It seems like yesterday he was just barely crawling, and now he's walking around everywhere...pretty soon I'm sure he'll be running.  He is taking much more of an interest in his books now too. He actually picks out books and brings them to us to read to him....it's just wonderful....really special times....and I'll be happy to read Brown Bear to him a thousand times if he wants me too.

Now that mom, dad, and Tiffany have left to go back home, I am cuddling with my babies and preparing for my return to work tomorrow! If you missed my announcement a few weeks ago, although I resigned from UHC in December, I have been offered another position with the company, and I accepted.  I feel certain that this is the best decision for us right now.

OH, and I'm thrilled to report that Elise does seem to be gaining weight on her new diet, with the addition of the Polycose powder and increased MCT oil.  As of today, she weighs 11 lb 11 1/2 ounces!!  That's almost a 6 oz gain since Wednesday!!  WOO HOO!!!   Such a relief!  I just hope this trend continues!
