Another Heckert Adventure

What does a rock and a crochet hook have in common? Lily's nose!!! Yesterday Lily came up to me and said "Mommy there is something in my nose." Then she proceeded to grab my finger and try to put it up her nose. I politely, but as quick as lightening, pulled my finger away and counseled her to use her own devices to get what I thought was normal nose material out of her nose. Upon my dismissal she turns to her Aunt Emmy and informs her that a rock is stuck in her nose. Guess what? There was a rock up her nose. Emily, being the kind aunt she is, took Lily upstairs to Grandma, the true fixer of all medical problems, who used her vast nursing experience and found the perfect retrieval tool, the crochet hook. Out popped the offending object and all peace was restored. My only question....where did she get the rock?

The Big 4!!!!

Well, I officially am starting to feel old because I now have a 4 year old!! I just can't seem to figure out where these last four years have gone, but they sure have been fun. All Kate has been asking for is a toy doggie-so we went to Build-a-Bear on Saturday. This the girls showing what they picked out.


And stuffing our animals...
The girls loved the whole experience, and it was the easiest birthday ever!! We later had family over for pizza and cake, and got some great goodies from Papa and Grandma.

Blowing out her candles at Grandma Eva's house.

On our way home today Kate said to me "I thought I was going to be a big girl now and get holes in my ears." I replied she wasn't that big yet. Kate is such a happy and sweet girl who is always thoughtful of others. We are so lucky to have her as our daughter!!!!!!
