Lydia

Hey everyone! Thought I'd share a page of Lydia with you all! She is in love with all things pink and girlie. My other girls really didn't get into dress up, princesses, shoes and jewelry, but Lydia LOVES those things! She is my little buddy. Today, we went to lunch together and as we sat at McDonald's (her favorite), we pulled out a pencil and paper and designed her birthday cake. (she turns 4 at the end of the month.) Of course, the cake will feature pigs. :) Lately, she has been waking up with severe headaches. Last night, her headache was particularly severe. She and I sat out in the front room by the fireplace at 1:00 a.m. until her headache went away. Needless to say, I am stressed and worried. I have an appointment with a doctor this week to hopefully put my mind at ease. Looking on the internet for answers of course doesn't help. Every website that I go to tells me that headaches shouldn't be worrisome unless they wake your child up at night. Great! :( I don't know why I can't be more like Casey and not immediately go to the worse case scenario in my mind. He doesn't worry about stuff unless there's something confirmed to worry about. I don't think I'm engineered that way. Anyway, hopefully tonight I will get a full night's sleep. I'm crossing my fingers!



While we were at Borders before Christmas, we spotted a hot pink christmas tree for sale. This week as we were taking down our tree, Allison said, "mom, we should throw away this old tree and next year, get that hot pink one!" Lydia, overhearing our conversation, replied... "No!! I don't want a hot pink tree, I want our cold green one." We all got a good laugh. She brightens our lives.

Here's our final week of 2010!
