I have so much to write about! Let's see...

First of all, Jillian is crawling! Our friends, Karin, Julian and Eli were over on Monday and Karin asked if Jillian was crawling yet. I said that she isn't but she's very close and started to walk away. Karin said, "she's totally crawling!" and I looked back and Jillian was crawling! Go Jillian! She hasn't done a ton of crawling since then but I've seen her practicing!

Jillian also has a new goofy smile. She loves to do this with her Dada at dinner.



Yesterday was Paczki Day! I love my paczki and so does Owen! Mike and Owen have to fight over the raspberry. I like raspberry too but I let the boys have them because they REALLY love raspberry.



Yesterday after dinner I said something about how we should get another dog to do the clean-up under the table. I was joking. Owen said, "Maybe we should go get Murray back! What do you think of that? Should we do that?" I think my heart broke in half. I don't know if we'll get another dog. It will probably be a few years before we seriously consider it. I miss Murray like crazy and I'd love for Owen and Jillian to grow up with a dog but there's no way I can take care of two small children and a puppy.

I was feeling motivated yesterday and took a shower and got dressed before Owen got up (Jillian was up). Owen did not like that I was already dressed by the time he got up. He was super irritated about it and said, "I don't like your shirt. I can't see it. It's too white." Okay then!

Because of "the plague", we've missed at least two music classes. I was all excited for music class today and then I realized that Jillian felt warm. She had a fever. Ugh! It's hard to know if it's teething or illness but because she had a fever right then and was so unhappy I decided we should stay home. Serious bummer! Then, Joe, Katie, Alexa & Melina were supposed to come over for dinner tonight but are going to play it safe and stay home. I'm so ready for spring and so sick of germs. Maybe it's just teething but how would I know? The kids often start off illness with a fever so I'd hate to risk it and infect a bunch of other kids.

She may be little, but Jillian is starting to give Owen a run for his money.
