Video Vault

Brace yourself - last night I stumbled on some old videos stored on my computer. I am going to start a weekly post called 'Video Vault', highlighting these videos. This first one caused a few tears to be shed in the Liesland Household.

Busted

Elliot was crazy Saturday night. On Sunday we saw a ton of goop in his ear and figured that his ear-drum ruptured. We called the Dr, who confirmed that was probably the case, so it is another 10 days of antibiotics.

Sledding

It was 32 degrees today, and there is plenty of snow on the ground so we were able to get out for a little sledding. The kids had a great time, which was great to see.

I finally got around to posting some photos from 2008.

Elliot is 1

Elliot turned 1 today. Pretty amazing. He still seems like such a baby to me. Maybe that is because he sleeps like one, or at least like all of ours have slept.

We had a nice little party, which he fussed his way through. I will try to get some pics and maybe a video up soon.

Valentine's Festivities

What did we do on Valentine's Day, you ask?

Well, this year, we broke with tradition (Panera), and went to my parent's. It was a nice dinner, followed by a nice evening of putting the kids to bed and sitting on the couch.

Since we didn't make it to Panera last night, we decided to go tonight. Last year things were a little crazy. Andrew was 3 and Mari was 1 1/2 last year. Things got a little chaotic, especially with Mari. This year was very peaceful. We even sat around for about 5 minutes after we were finished (Andrew was not actually finished, as he eats on his own schedule). It was a nice time.

All Smiles

Ever wonder what it is like to try to get a four year old, a two year old and an almost one year old to smile at the same time? Click Here to find out!

Two Years

We thought he was passed it. We thought he had moved on. But, alas, Andrew has an ear infection. The cool thing is that he is old enough to tell us. Our Dr looked in her records, and he had not had an ear infection (that we knew of) for almost two years. He has been sick since Tues, with a fever, and cold symptoms.

Elliot is crazy. He really likes Susan (can you blame him?), and is not sleeping very well. Susan has had a hard time getting him to sleep during the day, so most weekdays he only has one nap, which probably contributes to his craziness. He loves to go outside and to look out the window.

Mari is Mari. She is doing well. As usual, it is a lot of highs and lows with Mari, where she is either laughing our crying - there is no in-between.

Susan is managing to stay sane through all this, somehow. She gives and gives-up a lot, so I hope that over the next few months, or year, Elliot will start to give her a break.

Later.
