We decided it was time to get the kids a bunk bed. I searched on craigslist until we found one that was cheap and that we liked. We liked this one because it doesn't have a ladder... so Zola cannot climb up to the top, its not that tall - in case someone fell off, and it was a super sturdy, home made bed.
As you can tell, the two kiddos LOVED it! It was surprisingly easy to transition Zola into a big bed even for nap time.
We went shopping with Grandma one day in Minneapolis and Zola got this awesome shirt! She absolutely loves it and will pick it out often to wear. Thanks Gram!
Zola got super sick in January. We thought it would last a couple of days...but that turned into 12 days! She was such trooper and it was sure nice to have our happy, talkative girl around again... I had almost forgotten what a joy she really is. VIDEO (you will need to go to the actual website to see the video... not in email)
She was pretty cute... for a couple of days...
We thought that Zola was getting a little better and we had a trip planned to meet up with our best Saint Louis friends in Iowa - so We went... It was so nice to see our friends. Nothing has changed... we still love each other. Zola was terribly sick though. She and I only got 3 hours of sleep one night because she just couldn't get comfortable laying on top of me. This is really hard to do with 4 kids and two momma's in 1 hotel room. After I took Zola for a drive at 3am, she fell asleep.
We will have to do it again when everyone is feeling well. And here are some pics from the never ending sickies.
Her eyes were totally crusted shut every morning.
One day she consented to riding in the backpack so that I could get some things done around the house.
Dennis, in the meantime, is totally awesome. He is such a good brother and a easy son to have. He started writing a journal where he kept a log of everything that we ate: pesa (pizza) aed (and) Brokle (Broccoli) BSKD (spaghetti) Chikin (chicken) uiod (wild) rice
Sometimes... we don't nap in our bed. One day I went in her room to wake her up and the door hit her head. She fell asleep trying to look under the door.
January was fun.
