Elmo's birthday

A few nights ago, Jim was reading a book to Eve that had a birthday cake in it. Unprompted, Eve started blowing as if blowing out the candles. So we decided to have a party and let her blow out some candles for real. Who's birthday was it? Elmo's. Last night, we had a birthday cake, candles and a present. We bought a book for Elmo that Eve can read to him. Well, we can help her read it to him. The whole thing was pretty funny. Who says you can't just make up your own celebrations?




Today, the last of the steri strips came off the incision. Here's what it looks like.


Here's a picture from the other night that highlights Eve's new haircut.


It was actually pretty cold this morning (19, I think). But Eve and I went to Target anyhow (no daycare today for MLK day) . On the way Eve took a poo. Great. Oh, well, I'll just quickly change her in the backseat before going in (it would be too much of a hassle to do it inside because I don't know where I would have put the shopping cart cover while I was in the bathroom). So, I spread out a towel and grabbed the wipes and.....the wipes were frozen solid!!!! Are you kidding?? Shows you that it doesn't get cold that often down here because I haven't run into this problem yet. I've been keeping the hit and run bag in the car. Fortunately, I had a few plain paper towels that worked just fine. What a morning.
