my girls

I'm not sure what it is, but I really enjoy referring to Jane and Megan as "my girls" instead of "my kids". It just has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Today was the dreaded doctor's visit...Jane's 2-year checkup, Megan's 4-month checkup. Why dreaded, you ask? I took them both by myself, and they both had shots. Man oh man.

We did enjoy some diaper time, however...well, the girls did. I remained fully clothed.

Cute story of the day:

Jane has become aware of Dad being gone during the week and coming home on the weekends--she's finally figured out that it's a normal thing. Today, she had this conversation with herself:

"Where's Daddy? Daddy at work in Salt Lake. Where's Daddy? Daddy at work in Salt Lake. Oh, cool! I love Daddy! I love Daddy!"

all while dancing around the living room.

Cute story of the day:

My phone starting ringing and I said, "Oh, that's Daddy." Megan, who had been laying quietly on the couch, immediately started wiggling and giggling. It may be just a coincidence...or maybe we just all really like Daddy.

So, we survived the shots. Jane has never had any problem getting shots. She cries when she gets stabbed, then as soon as she has a sucker in her hand, she's fine. Megan, on the other hand, generally becomes extremely clingy and fussy and runs a fever for two or three days. So far, this time is no exception...but Daddy's coming home tomorrow!
