Snow in Memphis!!!

Snow in Memphis!!!

Snon har kommit till Memphis!!! The snow came this year too, and we have to run out and catch the moment before it all melts away. All the schools are closed down and life shuts down for a split second. As a sweede, it sounds absolutely absurd, but it's true. I've been stuck in the house with sick kids the past couple of days, but I couldn't resist taking Olivia out this morning to explore the beautiful snow.

Diarrhea, diarrhea...

In the last few days Olivia has had diarrhea. Now, at first I would get so frustrated that she wouldn't go in the toilet and that my whole potty training was going down the drain. Then she started vomiting, and I thought, does she have the stomach flu? This morning I took her to the doctor and we found out she had strep throat. Can you believe it!!??? I have no idea how strep throat is related to vomiting and diarrhea, but it sure can be according to our Doctor. So hear I am feeding her milkshake and cleaning up diarrhea, and feel awful that I've been upset that she's not been able to go in the potty, like she normally does.

Elin's Sip n' See

Today we had a sip n' see for Elin and Julia. Julia is Elin's little girl that was born on Christmas Day. We had around 20 women from All Saints come and celebrate the new arrival.

Chadwick Christmas party in January...

My friend Beth takes amazing photos...

My friend Beth Winterburn takes some amazing photos and I thought I would share some of them that she took of Olivia and Aaron. I highly recommend her and would encourage you to check out her blog ebwpaints.blogspot.com. Beth, I hope you get lots of business!!!

Aaron's baptism

Aaron was baptised this past Sunday. He fell asleep in Pastor Waring's arms as he got water sprinkled on his head. It was really a precious moment. Olivia on the other hand, climbed like a monkey in Will's arms.

Skal (cheers) to the happy new year!!

We thought we would start Olivia early with her first glass of wine. Just kidding. Thought this could be a good picture to ring in the new year.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New year to you all out there. Life is pretty slow these days. We left Olivia with Nonna and Papa up in Columbia right after Christmas. This is the longest I've been away from Olivia. It's been 5 days and still two to go. I miss her so much!!! She brings so much life to our daily life and this week has been so quiet without her. I know she's having a blast with her Nonna and Papa. By the way, one kid is nothing compare to two. I don't know why I ever complained about having one. Aaron is the sweetest little boy. Last night Aaron spent the night with Mumsey (Jan)while Will and I rang in the New Year with my old professor Larry and a 100 other friends to the professor. We had alot of fun and we got to sleep in, thanks to Jan.
