My new fav pic

I adore this picture of Isabelle, look at those cheeks! I had it printed out 8x10 so we can frame it and hang it in the hall. My little beauty!!

Whiner alert

I don't know how some people do it. People that have really sick children, or children with special needs, or just have a lot of kids. Isabelle only has an ear infection, and I am whining because I can't get her antibiotics into her, she just refuses to take it. I tried hiding it in pudding, that worked a few times but now she won't eat it...tried putting it in fruit, milk, even on her fishy crackers. I ended up having to hold he down and basically put it down her throat. She still managed to spit some out! Sometimes I feel like an awful Mother. To all the women out there that are Mothers, you are awesome. You certainly amaze me. I know so many of you that do SO much everyday, you are Super Women.
I am so lucky that Isabelle is healthy and happy and smart and strong, even still...some days are hard. I feel like such a loser for complaining when I do. I feel like I should just be able to suck it up, get off my ass, and do what needs to be done. Well sometimes I can't. Sometimes we just stay home in our jammies and snuggle and nap and play on the floor.
I just want her to get better. I am so not looking forward to the next dose of meds. I am glad though that she is still nursing because at least she is getting some fluids. Ah. My little hooligan. LOL So cranky and tough somedays, but SO worth every minute and tear.

1 already!

I can't believe that Isabelle is already 1! The time really does fly by, and they really do just grow before your eyes. My little stinker had a small cake on Thursday, her real birthday, and tore into it, it was great! We just threw it out after that haha. On Sunday was the 'real' party for her and Gilles' 30th. There were so many people here, and Isabelle got some sweet gifts from our awesome friends and family! Especially Emily, who besides giving Isabelle 3 Dr Seuss books, also made her a canvas album with Dr. Seuss quotes, it was beautiful, I was crying!! Thank you so much to everyone who was able to make it! Glad we got the big cake, cause it was gone!
We went to see Prince of Persia yesterday for Gilles birthday, it was awesome! Great action and comedy, and the special effects were really great, not cheesy.
Another birthday coming up as well - LCOM!! I can't believe Tink has had the store for an entire year already! That mean I have been on the DT for 9 months! :O And I still love it! Thank you soooo much Tink for everything you do for us! You are one amazing woman! And now Tink is thanking our AWESOME customers too! The LCOM Online birthday bash begins tomorrow, Thursday, June 3rd, and goes until Sunday, June 6th. There will be fun with the Sketch team, challenges, prizes, laughs, a blog hop beginning Friday evening, and Liz Hicks from Tattered Angels will be stopping by the Forum to chat Saturday evening at 9pm! WOW!!!! Can't wait to 'see' you all this weekend!!!
