Happy 5th Birthday Edie!!!!

Ready for the story?

Five years ago today, I was scheduled to have Edie at 7am. She decided at 3am that she was ready. Off we went in the dark hours of the morning to the hospital.

A few hours later Edie was born.

8lbs, 8oz.

Happy Healthy Edie Jane.

Todd and I came to the realization when the twins came to the hospital that we were the proud parents of 18month old toddler twins (still in diapers and bottles) and a newborn.

Five years later, where has the time gone!!!

IT'S A RAINBOW PARTY!!!!!

Hands off people.

Daddy created another birthday cake masterpiece, I think this one 'takes the cake' on the zebra!

Practice begins, she will be bringing this to every ones house to play a song for you, Enjoy!!!:)

Lunch Dates

I had the best lunch dates ever!!

Part I.

This is Edie 'not' getting into trouble...stay tuned for the last picture in this post...

Aubrey likes to talk about the flavors in the food, and try a bite every ones dish and talk about it. She liked both my bisque and my calamari.

My new lunch favorite.

I thought it was the Dirty Blonde at the Portsmouth Brewery,

but I think this Raspberry UFO is the winner...

The best lobster bisque...of course I had to share it with both Aubrey and Edie, but we all enjoyed it.

Part II, Edie was very quiet on the ride home,

she was practicing writing her name.

She did great with her letters......

Boston

...we qualify...

...and obviously we need to get out more, because I can't even begin to tell you how excited they were about being in an orange tunnel under the city.

Let's Catch Up

I know it's been a while and everyone has been asking me to post.

I'm not as current as I used to be. So let's get caught up shall we?

Grammy B. and Auntie Moe came home. They have been braving the 'cold' since they got here. Don't worry it will warm up.

Easter came with a fury of sugary chaos. We are down to one treat a day out of the bucket. It should last us till October! (We just ran out of that mass of sugar, just in time for Easter to roll around.

Beets and Beans

Beans and Beets.

I had to also let go of my garden, now in the hands of Todd.

He has been making a special 'chicken-poo-tea' recipe for them that he found in a gardening magazine and has been been tending to them daily. He recently added a grow light.

We also have lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, & sunflowers.

In addition we'll be adding peppers, carrots, and some other house favorites.

We didn't have to buy much produce last summer, hopefully we won't have to buy any this summer.

Bring on Spring.

Happiest Girl In The World

Of course Edie had all the nurses, doctors, anethesiologit, and staff smiling with her easy going attitude and contagious smile.

She did great! She had new bi-lateral tubes put in, and had her large overgrown adenoids removed that were actually growing up and over the eustachian tube. (That tube drains the middle ear) Dr. Spector said he didn't know how large they were untill he was in there, this could be the root cause of most of her drainage problems.

Edie took a little while in recovery, I could hear her and just wanted to be with ther. She came out on the guerney, covering her head with her tea party blanket. She laid in my arms the rest of the day and she was allowed to have endless ice pops and ice cream. By bath time and a second dose of ibuprofin she was feeling much better. She was up a few times in the night for a hug and drink.

Geesh! Cheer up Edie!!

Movie Night

Movie night with the best snugglers ever!

Team Fischer

Lucky 13!!!

2 points!!!

These two are too cute, but check out the basket in the back!

Coach Cindy let Edie play too. She of course picked the black team, with the bigger kids. She held her own and did great!

Grammy B, we have front teeth!!
