Daddy is Old!

Just kidding. He's just a bit older than he was yesterday.

We've had a bit of a rough weekend over here. Miss Fuss has been feeling under the weather again, running a low grade fever and not eating her normal massive amounts of food. We even made a trip to the emergency room late Friday night, but gave up on seeing a doctor after waiting for three hours. Don't worry, if Munchkin is still not up to snuff we'll take her to her regular doctor this week.

Despite the icky-sickys, Little Monster has had a pretty fun weekend. She spent Friday night out with Aunties Joddie and Nicole, Tracy and Kasper. Saturday she received an early Christmas present from Aunt Angi (Mama's sister) and knew immediately that it was meant for a Tickle Bug because of the lack of wrapping on the brightly colored box. Mama hadn't planned on making her wait for it, but once she saw the box it was all over. She could hardly wait for Mama to put it together before she started bouncing away and making music on her new ride-on horse.

Today we are off to run errands before the new babysitter, Elena, comes over to spend the evening with Little Monster. They met last week and absolutely adore each other, so we're sure there won't be any issues while Mama and Daddy go out for some dinner and drinks.
