March Madness

We had some sickness in the Maxey house during March, and they both happened on weekends. First, Katherine had the stomach bug accompanied by a high fever. Throw up in my hair in the middle of the night is always pleasant. That week, I ended up with an ear infection. By Friday, both girls had an ear and eye infection. Andrew got it the following Monday. We're finally all off antibiotics. Here are the girls watching a movie together while they were sick.

When I took the girls to the doctor, Isabella weighed in at 22 pounds! Katherine weighs 29 pounds. You can really see the difference in body type in this picture!

We did a lot of yard work over spring break. Katherine told me, "Mama, I can't smile. I'm helping Daddy rake."

My aunts, Judy & Linda, came down this week to visit. The girls got to stay home from school with them and Mimi on Tuesday. Everyone had a blast.


We're getting ready for Easter! Katherine has bunnies in her hair. She told me the other day she was excited for the Christmas bunny to come put eggs in her basket. The things they learn in school! I have been reading the story of Jesus' death and resurrection at night during devotions with her. And what does she remember? The Christmas bunny.

February Flew By

We had a couple of snow days in February where they cancelled school. The first one, it didn't even snow. The second one we actually had a tiny, tiny bit of snow. So, we just stayed inside and watched movies and played puzzles. I know this is hilarious for our northern friends and family. Believe me, it's hilarious and frustrating for us, too!


Isabella got control of the remote for a few minutes.

The girls have started taking baths together some nights. They both love it. Isabella can't quite sit up on her own, so Katherine has to hold her and gets bored sometimes and thinks Isabella is took heavy. But, it's still fun to see them together.

Katherine and Mimi helped me go through the 3T clothes we have - hand-me-downs and things I bought last year on sale. Katherine wanted to try on this bathing suit and ride her horse.

Isabella can almost sit up on her own. She is reaching for objects, making lots of noises, smiling a lot (although we can't seem to catch it on camera), and is still sweet as ever. She is sleeping 12 hours at night but still gets up once during that time for a bottle. But she falls right back asleep which is so nice.

I spoke during the service yesterday at church. Our senior pastor is in Israel, so I filled in. It went very well. If you want to hear it, go to the media page at firstwesleyan.com.
