Romney happenings

Well Thanksgiving was awesome! The dinner at my mom's in her new home* was awesome and we had family pics done with Daniel's family in the afternoon.  My kids were cranky most of the evening and Leighton wouldn't sleep. Ireland woke up today coughing until she gagged. She has had a tummy and head ache for days but that seemed to be controlled for the most part with tylenol. Leighton has had a cough since birth so I was sort of concerned when it was a lot more frequent. Both girls have been cranky so I took them to their pediatrician. So Leighton has an ear infection. In both ears. UGH. It's like Ireland all over again!! What is up with my kid's ears?? I guess her throat is all red too. Also Ireland has strep! :(  I had no idea in the world she had strep. I guessed a cold. I feel bad since we were around a ton of family yesterday. I had no clue I also had thought her two year molars were bugging her. which is true too. So that is the sad part. 

* my mom is finally in her new home!! ok well it's not her new home but they are renting this amazing place until theirs can be built. Neither of the two homes they were hoping to get worked out, so they will build. They want something bigger with horse property. Can't wait to ride our horses!! Ireland will go nuts. So this  "new" house is so beautiful and we love to be there except it is close to an hour drive. each way! My sister will live there on weekends and still with us mon- thurs. for school since it takes her no more than 7 mins to get to school from my house.  My sister is using our extra room so Leighton and Ireland are sharing a room. I was hesitant at first because their sleep schedules are way off but we are getting it down and I LOOOOVE having them together! Ireland has her big girl bed and Lei has the crib. Luckily Ireland had a big room so It's not uncomfortable. And they have a huge closet to hold all their  clothes! I need to put up the pics of their room it's so fun! 

Oh so Ireland and Lei are already best friends! Leighton just turned 5 months on tuesday but it seems she is so much older because she just seems to get things! I had both girls laying on Ireland's bed a minute ago with a movie on. they didn't care about their show they were looking at each other and smiling and giggling. Ireland kept holding Lei's hand and Leighton would let her. I needed to do some stuff and didn't feel comfortable leaving the baby alone with a 2 year old and all those pillows and what not on this twin size bed. I picked up Lei and they both started crying! So sad but so cute. I did my stuff and brought the baby back in there and they both got the hugest grins! Lei reached out her hand and Ireland just held it. Ireland kept rubbing the babies head too and they just smile at each other. I love how much they love each other! Leighton can sit really well for a long time so she just sits and watches Ireland color or play and they have this amazing bond already. I hope they stay close forever like my sister and me!

yes I know this is long, but I want to print out my blog and keep it as my journal. So I want to keep track of everything!!

People keep asking how my training is going. well..... um... it would be a LOT better if I could be on a treadmill each day! I was doing the gym once a week on my mom's pass but that is used up and once a week will not cut it!  Another problem about training from home: I am not comfortable running alone outside. I have had offers for friends to come run with me. Let's do it!! I only have until spring to be ready to run a marathon. eek. spring!! that is just to prepare me for the insane one (so I have heard) in JULY! I have got to get going! I need a gym membership or a treadmill, neither of which is affordable right now. I am not giving up, no way! I WILL run the marathon in spring!! 

I have so so so many pictures I want to put up. I have so many things I want put on here before I get this blog printed for a book. I just never have time to sort that many pics and get them ready on my slow computer. I will do it very soon. Oh, also my phone is not able to text or call so if someone has been texting and I haven't been responding I am sorry. text me and I will text you back with my Baby Ireland Bows business phone number! thanks!

ok, kids screaming so this is the end of my forever long update!
