I giggled when I saw this one

hospital wing

Larry and Nina both have a flu bug. They've spent the day snuggling and napping together; it's really sweet

I, on the other hand, am going bonkers stuck in the house. My rule of thumb is that I won't take Nina anywhere until it has been 24 hours since she threw up (cross your fingers for tomorrow). It doesn't help that it has been raining all day, which has a significant effect on my mood.

I stand corrected

me: you're my little monkey
nina: no, I'm not
me: you're not?
nina: no, I'm papa's little baby

finally

I got some hairs cut!

I took quite a few pics of Nina sleeping on our trip to Florida

lovely husband

I was supposed to get up with Nina this morning, but I hung out with a bunch of other mamas last night and somehow it was 1:30 by the time I got home. When I got into bed I gave Larry a big hug, and when he woke up I asked him if he needed me to get up early still. He said, "Of course not." What a man.

gina & joe got married!

My sister in law Gina got married in Key West on New Year's Eve. Click here for my pics of the wedding weekend.

I went out later on New Year's Eve, and boy was that an experience. I really don't ever need to do that again ("that" being placing myself in an overcrowded street with way too many drunk people). It was quite an experience.

we had some friends over for latkes

hats!

I have been busy making them. They are 10$ each, 15$ including priority shipping. Only worn once by my lovely model. Custom available.

Nina loves to fill any available bag with...everything. One day she took all the pieces from all her puzzles and put them in a bag. It took longer than you might think to sort them out!

We got Nina this ride-on toy for Chanukah. She loves it and likes to take Beep for a ride on her "motorcycle"

I love holiday cards!!!

Still slacking. Here's some daily engrish to tide you over until the trend ends.

I have been seriously slacking. I need to write about our trip to Florida for my sister-in-law's wedding, at the very least...I will do it soon.

In the meantime, check out my debut over at The Soccer Mom Vote
