Sickness, Birthdays, and Retirement

This work thing is really getting in the way of my blogging !
Now that I am back to work I have no time to breath, let alone blog. So the new mantra of this blog is quality, not quantity :)

The past few weeks have been very busy. All 4 of us have had some form of sickness. Ellie had her first cold and it was a doozy ! Isabelle had her first ear infection, well actually it was a double ear infection. And George and I both had nasty colds. But we are all feeling better now.

Through all of the snots and sleepless nights I also celebrated my birthday. To celebrate we had Reese's Peanut Butter ice cream cake and it was fantastic. Isabelle and Ellie made me a very special card at school. It made my day. (see pictures below).

This past week Nana officially retired after working for 22 years. There was a wonderful ceremony to thank her and to celebrate all that she has done over the past 22 years. We are so proud of Nana and now that she has all of this free time we can't wait to see her and Papa all the time. We love you Nana. Congratulations and enjoy your well deserved retirement :):)

Keeping with tradition, this is a short video of my family singing to my Mom. The name of this song is "Town Hall Girl." It is set to Uptown Girl, by Billy Joel. Enjoy !

My birthday Peanut Butter Pie. Yummy !!

My wonderful birthday card. A special thank you to Miss Erin for helping the girls make this card. It is hard to see in this picture, but the card has Isabelle's hand prints and Ellie's little foot prints :)
