I have been so sick the past few days! I felt like I was trying to swallow razor blades or something, any time I swallowed. Thankfully, Nate came home early on Tuesday, so I could just go to bed (and go to the doctor). Sleep really is the best thing when you're sick. I just don't want anyone else to get this! The doctor tested me for strep throat, but it turns out I don't have that, just some other awful infection. So, I'm on antibiotics now and slowly, but surely feeling better. I'm not up to par, as of yet, but I'll get there.
I just wanted to post because I'm feeling so grateful. I'm grateful for family and good friends. I'm thankful for my dear, helping husband. My friend, Rebecca helped by taking Julia to her Whoville class. My friend, Lori helped me out immensely yesterday because she watched the girls for me so I could rest. For hours! How nice is that? And my friend, Christine picked Julia up from school for me yesterday and plans to again today. Not to mention, the other phone calls and offers to help. I tell ya, we are surrounded by people who care and I feel so loved. Thank you!

About Me
Quotable Kids
December favorites from Simon - "Ninjabread houses" and "Pasta the Snowman" :)
12/2010 - "Mommy, when I get bigger, can I go to the temple with you?"
"And can I get married with you?" - Simon
11/05/10 - "Mommy? When I get bigger, can I be a scout boy?" -Simon
9/30/10 - "Mom, I'm hungry. Let's see what's in the palm-tree," said Simon, pointing to the pantry. ;)
8/28/10 - Julia - "I want to go on my mission to Idaho." Liliana - "I want to go on my mission to Russia!" Simon - "I want to go on my mission to Target!"
5/?/10 - "I love mirrors." - Liliana
"Oh yeah? Why's that?" -Nate
"Because you can really see all your boogers," replied Lili as she pushed her nose up to do just that.
5/7/10 - Liliana was telling me about what Jesus said to Satan when he was tempting Him..."Get the hint, Satan!"
2/26/10 - "That's my 'brudder' Roman. He came out of your tummy." - Simon
2/26/10 - "You're the best Mommy ever!" - Simon "Thank you, buddy!" - me
"And he's the best Roman ever." - Simon
2/6/10 - "I can't wait 'til I'm a grown-up. Then, I'll have adorable babies like Roman." - Liliana
11/2/09 - Julia was singing a song (again, as she had been singing it off and on all night). Liliana said, "Is that song stuck in your head? Here, I'll knock it out." {smack} - she hit Julia upside the head. But, not too hard, thankfully. They both laughed.
10/16/09 - Just a cute exchange from earlier today..."You look cute, Mom." - Simon
"Aww, thank you, Simon." - Me
"You're welcome." - Simon
10/10/09 - "Yesterday's yesterday was my birthday." - Liliana
10/7/09 - "Awwww! Goodbye four. HELLOOOOOOOO five!" - Liliana
9/30/09 - "I don't love rocks more than I love people." - Liliana
9/3/09 - Nate and I were testing out our new blender, and I asked him if he thought it sounded louder than our old one. Julia said, "It sounds like the engine of a sweet car." Nate was thrilled.
8/24/09 - Nate was joking around, doing his best "Southern" accent and I teased him about one of his phrases, saying, "Ack! Don't say that, it's improper English!"
Julia quickly responded, "It's not English...it's Texan."
6/2/09 - "Friends are always together, even when they're far apart." - Liliana
5/19/09 - "Book-reading takes you away to places." - Julia
5/17/09 - Simon lined up several of his cars, right next to each other. He looked up proudly, with a smile, and said, "Cars nuggle."
5/11/09 - "I love it when it's sweltering hot." - Julia
5/10/09 - "Mommy, I love you so much, it takes my breath away." -Liliana
4/.28/09 - "I like the fog. It reminds me of the forests of Ethiopia." - Julia
4/27/09 - Julia said, "Today I saw a beetle with perseverance."
April (sometime) - I said, "Lili, you probably shouldn't drink after Simon. He has a cold." Lili said, "Maybe he should drink after me. Then, he'll get better."
3/5/2009 - Liliana said, "Mom, will you tell me the story of the three little pigs? The one out of your brain."
1/5/2009 - I asked Lili to try some carrot. She replied, "Please can I not? 'Cause it's horse food."
That same day, I told her she has two parents who love her so much. In response she said, "You have three daughters that love you the most." - close enough, right? :)
1/2009 - Julia said, "I draw the best mummies of anyone at my school. I have a special way of doing the lines on the face." Ah, - "sugar and spice and everything nice." Can't we all remember our old school days as little girls. When we would gather for art and draw our prettiest mummies?
1/18/09 - Liliana wasn't feeling well this evening and Julia was being so kind to her. In the car, Julia said (in a choked up way), "I'm crying tears of joy right now for a few reasons. It makes me feel good when I help my sister. I'm worried about her. And lots of other reasons." (we took Lili to urgent care and it turns out she has an ear infection, a little bit of tonsillitis and she had a fever of 101! Poor thing! At least she was being taken good care of by her big sister! So sweet!
12/22 - We were driving around looking at Christmas lights. While we were driving by a particularly decked out house, Julia said, "It's a Christmas extravaganza!"
12/08 - While listening to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer," Liliana said, "It's actually a sad song. The Grandma died. We want to keep our Grandmas forever. We love them."
Just one Nate remembered from earlier in the year - Lili got in the bath but wanted back out. Nate said, "Is it too hot?" She replied, "No, it's four hot. I only want it to be one hot."
12/08 - We were playing "restaurant" and Julia was the waitress. Lili wanted her attention and said (in a very proper, manner-filled voice), "Excuse me, mattress, I need some more water, please."
11/8/08 - Upon seeing Simon (fresh out of the shower, naked, running around), Julia said, "He's sticking out his utensil!"
10/17/08 - Liliana said, "Sometimes my pants stick out like that, even though I don't have a peanut."
10/15/08 - Julia was telling us about which table she sits at in her classroom, "Since I'm not particular, it didn't matter too much where I was sitting."
10/13/08 - While I was getting lunch ready today, Liliana got the peanut butter out for me, and also the Nutella. I said, "No Nutella." She replied, "No, I want old 'tella." Classic Liliana.
12/2010 - "Mommy, when I get bigger, can I go to the temple with you?"
"And can I get married with you?" - Simon
11/05/10 - "Mommy? When I get bigger, can I be a scout boy?" -Simon
