Elle Gets Sick~~~~ February 1, 2012

Elle has been a remarkable healthy girl. No ear infections...hardly a sniffle. So, when she started coughing the last couple of days in January it was unusual but we figured it was a cold. Then suddenly the cough turned deep and wheezy. Aubrianne took her to the doctor and found out she had RSV.

She was quite the little trouper and didn't complain about the breathing treatments. Especially if she got to read a 'Fancy Nancy' book... :)

The Superbowl - Indianapolis- February 2012

Court works for National Satellite Company ---

The boys were able to spend some time together.

The Bishop Kids

My buddy Rhett--loves to play ball...(Elle loves to pose in the background)

My poor princess had a one day mystery fever...she slept a lot.

All better on a warm January day, headed to the park on her bike.

Did I mention that Rhett loves to play ball?

He also LOVES to eat spaghetti!

The Zoo - Elle and the Baby Chimp

Elle and the Baby Chimp

As we were watching a mom and baby chimp playing on the rocks in the outdoor natural area...the momma looked down at us, apparently saw Elle standing at the window and put the baby and her back and brought it down to us. The baby chimp and Elle started to interact. Elle and the baby went hand to hand on the window and then the baby kissed the window where Elle had rested her head. It was adorable and amazing to watch. As others started to notice and ran to start taking pictures at the window, the mom promptly put the baby back on her back and left. We all felt pretty lucky and connected!

January 2 -The Zoo

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo.....how about you, you, you?

January 2012 Happy New Year

WELCOME 2012

I was lucky enough to ring in the New Year with these great girls. Liz (in back wearing blue) a friend since 1964...and Dorothy (in green) and Libby (the other red head) friends since '76 in GHS Band. We had a great game night and toasted our sparkling apple juice (yep...we're dangerous like that) and hugged in 2012. Pretty awesome!!!
