Long Time No Blog...Why I haven't had time to blog lately

Right before my last post, Kate had just celebrated her 4th birthday. Here are some pictures from her party.

Pre-birthday fit.


Just before her infamous fit.




Apparently she's a fan of the "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to," idea.
She was crying because she didn't want me to take her picture.



As soon as her friends arrived, and dancing ensued, all was well with the Birthday Girl.



We read "A Bad Case of Stripes," opened presents, and had cake and ice cream. To see her "Bad Case of Stripes" cake, see my last post Kate's Birthday Cake.


Since then, we've enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, the first snow, and all that goes along with the first snow of the year.



Rob helped Kate build her first ever snowman. She was thrilled!




The look of pure joy. Can you tell she's proud of her work?!?


She loved making snow angels.


And Rob hung the Christmas lights, while I set up the Christmas tree (pictures to come later).


Oh, and Rob has a Pterygium (ter-ih-gee-um) growing on his eye. He went to the doctor yesterday, and the Dr. gave us the scoop. Apparently it is caused by UV exposure, low humidity, and dust. Doc says they don't go away. Usually they just let them grow until they are a nuisance or interfere with sight, then they are surgically removed, and then they can grow back. Great!

I love the pics of Kate's fit! That is soooo Kayla!! What did you have the girls dance to? I'm trying to decide how to do it for Kayla's party.
I am so jealous of all the snow you have! J/K! Your house looks so beautiful!
David also has one of those on his eye. He's had it for awhile now. I'll have to ask him how many years. He asked his new optometrist about it lately and he said that he felt we should still do nothing about it. Until it becomes very interfering they'd prefer to just leave it alone because of all it would involve to remove it. It does make his eye bloodshot more often, but other than that, I don't notice it much. Does Rob's bother him much?

They danced to Disney Songs. They had a blast.

As for Rob's eye, it has been bothering him more and more lately. The only bad thing about having it removed, it could still come back. No guarantees.

Oh, the pictures of Kate are too perfect. I am sorry to hear about Rob. That is just plain yucky!! Good luck!!
