This Friday am sharing things about our week, including the great ice storm of North Georgia and an update on our toddler Annabelle.

{THIS WEEK} I felt…
…cold, brrrrr. This Northerner has lost her thick skin for the chilly air.
…pumped for my surprise four day weekend! I live in North Georgia and we were hit by a lovely ice storm on Monday night that put a lot of people without power. Tuesday school was called off, so I had an extra day to play with Annabelle. Obviously I was not excited for losing power, but I was very fortunate that we got it back a few hours later. My poor in-laws were powerless for two days!
…a bit nervous about the stomach bug that is now being passed around the Kindergarten and First Grade classrooms. Can someone be immune if they had the Norovirus two weeks ago? #cloraxeverything
{THIS WEEK} I learned…
…Eddie Murphy was supposed to be a part of the Celebrity Jeopardy sketch on the SNL 40th Anniversary Special. Norm MacDonald took to Twitter to tell the world why he backed out. (source)
…Sports Illustrated thinks they’re so fancy for featuring a ‘plus size’ model.
{THIS WEEK} Annabelle…

…learned how to sign “Please” at baby school. She rubs her tummy instead of her chest, but whatevs, she is close enough. She also says, “Peas” when she wants something and it is adorable.
…seems to be addicted to peanut butter. I think she had 16 spoonfuls last night AFTER dinner.
…mastered the kitty, puppy, penguin, and monkey sounds from her favorite book.

I love the look on Annabelle’s face when she is looking at the book! Such concentration! She is adorable and I’m glad you got some extra time with her this week!
What sound does a penguin make?
The face she is making in that last pic is fantastic, so cute!
She looks so focused in that last picture, I love it!
