Thankfully no snow to report this week! Instead, Eli had to go to school for a Make-Up day on Monday (it was supposed to be President's Day holiday). The boys had a dentist appointment on Wednesday - Eli was a champ getting his teeth cleaned and checked. Cole did ok, he was a little fussy at first but made it through. He'll get better as time goes on I know. We did find out, however, that Eli has a cavity so we've got an appointment in about a month to get it fixed. I know Eli won't like that appointment. Hopefully it will encourage him so we don't have any more. And, thankfully, it's in a baby tooth but one that he won't lose until he's about 12 or so.
This weekend, Grandma C came to visit. She hasn't seen the boys since right after Christmas so she was ready to get up here and see her grand babies. She got here Friday evening and the boys were super excited to see her. Cole especially has been counting down since he was "grounded" this week - no tv all week. He couldn't wait to watch Saturday morning cartoons with Grandma. So while they were hanging out and watching tv, Tim and I ran off to have a breakfast date. It was unbelievably nice. Breakfast is my favorite meal to go out to eat (I'm not too big on going out) and this time was especially nice because we got to eat our food while it was still hot, we didn't have to prepare it, we didn't have to get up and get something for a little person, no one called us "Mommy" or "Daddy" and when we were done, we just got up and left - no dishes or cleanup! After we ran a few errands and checked out a thrift store I'd been wanting to see. Saturday night, Tim and I disappeared again....this time to the mall so I could make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar - my Saturday night date with Giuseppe. I've been having trouble with iPhoto on my computer. It won't open and that is an issue for this Momma who takes TONS of pictures and loved the quick edit and organization of iPhoto. Turns out I have a bad file somewhere and I've got to recreate all my libraries. It is going to take a long time but at least my photos aren't lost!! I'm already thinking of some better organizationals strategies to make blogging easier and to eventually create our blog books (it's on my "eventually" list!). Saturday, I must admit, was a really easy day for Tim & I. We pretty much checked out of being parents and let Grandma do all the work. Thanks Grandma!!!
Grandma ended up going home Sunday at the same time we went to church. We hate that she couldn't stay longer but were super glad she came to visit. After church, the weather was gorgeous so we went on family bike ride around the lake.

Eli is an awesome climber. He just stands up and takes off.
