Thanks Santa!

It really isn't as annoying as it looks. The music is pretty "jazzy" as long as you keep it on music mode and not annoying-lady-singing-the-alphabet-mode.

Winter Wonderland

On Sunday we took a trip to the Chicago Botanical Gardens to see the Winter Wonderland exhibit. It was cool, not worth the $35 we spent for tickets & parking, but cool nonetheless.

Nora especially liked the "snow" that was falling from above.....

Some woman chastised me for letting the "snow" fall on Nora's face. C'mon lady, it's just soap and besides, does she look bothered by it??!! Sheesh, let the kid have a good time!

We ended our little excursion with some peppermint hot cocoa and a lemon bar :) I really wish I had taken a photo of Nora's face when she had her 1st taste of lemon custard! Let's just say it was priceless.

sad, sick baby:(

Poor, poor Nora. She has had a really wicked cold since Sunday, complete with a constant snot facial-which, in case you were wondering, is NOT good for your complexion.
Last night was rough, with coughing and wheezing to boot. I tend not to overreact with her but after talking with the nurse, we trekked on in to the Dr. office.
Her cold is just a cold, lungs are clear :) BUT she has a horrendous ear infection (!!@*) Aaargh, I hope this isn't the start of an endless succession of ear ickiness......
