ole schnikees: 2018

Tova: got her first cold and her first tooth (we didn't get much sleep), I can also see the whites of both her top teeth, on all 4s she moves both legs & her left hand up & down so she's so close to crawling, moves every which way but forward (in circle, backwards, some sideways)

early this week we were dealing with the cold that we all ended up getting (Trevor first in door county, then Al who called in sick 1 day, then tova then me a little bit.) trevor had school and did fine there, just a little cough from the stuffy nose.

Wednesday grama DD and grandpa Rick came to our house and stayed the night before they drive back to Arizona for the winter. Grama DD made bluegills and Al grilled ribs for supper. And we just hung out with them that night. Thursday morning after breakfast there was some outside time and some monopoly junior playing before trevor got on the bus.

Thursday after I got trevor from school, I fed tova, we all said goodbye to grama & grandpa, and I left for the cities to go to the twins game with my girl friends. we did this game for the love your melon twins hats we got with our tickets. we all met at mom's at 6 and got stuck in traffic in Minneapolis so we were a little late getting in to the game that started at 710. once we found our seats, I had a surprise for manda, meg and Kunde: our softball ladies Kim, Gaylene, Nancy and Christy were there too and had seats 3 rows down from us! there was no one in the seats directly in front of them so we sat right in front of them! it was a good game, a good time, a gorgeous night and full of laughs! it was much needed. we left just after 10p in the 7th inning since it was late and I had to drive back to eau Claire still. the drive back wasn't too bad and the kids did well for Al although tova didn't take a bottle but Al had fed her lots of baby food (veggie and cereal) so she slept until I got home and fed her.

Al worked Friday-sunday 5p-5a. Friday morning the kids and I ran the mortgage check over and then stopped at Jodi's to chat & play for a bit before coming home for lunch and naps (trevor napped after a busy week of school.) after nap, Tova chomped on my thumb and I felt something! a bottom tooth, she'd gotten her first tooth while having her first cold. then when I tried to see the tooth, I noticed I could see white spots of her top to teeth too! Friday night I went to bed after I got the kids to bed to try and catch up on sleep. Tova only woke up once that night which I was so thankful for!

Saturday morning we played until unc-o and grandpa neil came down for a couple hours. they got here about 11 and left just after 2p. we played outside a bit but it was chilly so not long. trevor did the new legos unc-o brought for him and we had a laughing fit that started with trevor not being able to stop laughing which made gpa neil, unc-o and I laugh! :)

Sunday was spent lego-ing, we played at one of the new playgrounds near our house after the rain spoiled our plans of going to the apple orchard with the neighbs, watching the packer game and relaxing (Al worked 6p-6a).
