It has come to my attention (thank you, heather) that it has been a long time since updating our blog. And, oh my...has it. So here's a recap of the month of February...
The biggest highlight of February would have to be Kali's 2nd Birthday. Complete with an Elmo and Big Bird birthday cake (choc. with rasp. filling). Everyone enjoyed the cake except Kali, who had been hit with the stomach flu Friday...her party was Sunday. She wasn't quite herself, of course, but she did quite well considering. She had a little friend of her's, Avery, over (some friends of Steve and I) and another friend of mine who had her little 8 month old girl with them. Oh, and Gpa and Gma Strecker were there also.
We didn't do much for her 1st bday, considering that its not that big of a deal to them at that age...or at 2 for that matter, so I got into celebrating her bday with style this year a bit more..and with a more diverse group of guests. It all ended up being just right and Kali even managed to enjoy most of it feeling under the weather.
Other than that, February prooved to be a very nice month weather wise, so Kali and I spent a lot of our days outdoors. Kali could be frequently spotted going up and down the sidewalk with her new tricycle making sure to say hi to every passerby and waving at all the school buses that passed us. She discovered the speed bump in the parking lot next to our apartments and had a blast going over that....over and over and over again. Mr Teddy took a couple nose dives off the tricycle and onto the pavement in the process. But no worries!! Nurse Kali tended to him making sure to kiss his "owies", asking him if he was "ok? ok?!"...then stuffing him in the "trunk" of her tricycle and continuing with her journey down the sidewalk. Mr. Teddy sure puts up with a lot, I tell ya.
Steve is in the midst of "tax season", working about 70 hrs a week, so its been a hard adjustment for him not being able to see Kali most of the week. He's been working hard and seems to be really liking where he's working at...despite the current conditions, of course. Its been stressful on him, but we think he's doing a great job. Only 5 weeks to go until its over!!! Countdown begins!
I am about 6 months along now with the pregnancy and I as of last entry we didn't know what we were having. Kali will be Big Sis' to a little sister. Everything looked great at the big ultrasound and Steve is going to have to brace himself for all the estrogen that will be filling the house in the years to come. I'm bracing myself!!! :) He thinks he'll be able to golf more....not if those girls love to shop! ;). The morning sickness finally passed in January, no one has been sick since January, except Kali. Now onto the wonderful pregnancy discomforts and trying to keep up with busy bee Kali. Now that's a challenge when pregnant! Phew! No weird cravings though this time around, pretty normal...for as normal as can be when pregnant, I guess. Just plain old tired all the time. But still working at the salon, though it has been quite slow lately.
That's about it for February! It was a pretty laid back month with a little adjustments with Steve's work. With March upon us now, we're looking at probably not so nice weather as February brought, but at least a light at the end of the tunnel as far as tax season goes. I think all of us here at home cheer "YES!!!".
