Can you believe that tomorrow is February 1, 2020? LEAP year! As January comes to a close, there were several noteworthy dates to remember.....
On January 3rd, Giselle Eloise celebrated her 9th birthday. She spent the day rocking out gymnastics as she always does and then after wards, we had a little impromptu celebration. We ordered cheese and sausage pizza from Chesdan's and it was complete with a cake with her admirable TEDDY. Aunt Dawn happened to be in town, so she got to enjoy the celebration with us. Pictured below is her and Lily Bear, who is now 8 months old and filling the void of our beloved, missed Baxter. She is a bit (ALOT) bigger than any dog I (we) have ever had....but HEY! She has got potential.....Right? Only if she STOPS digging holes in the yard and eating my plants and trees!

On January 19th, we celebrated Bobs birthday. He had a hankering taste for homemade pizza, so he went to Trader Joe's and got all the goodies. He made two pizzas, one with cheese for the girls and then one with everything for us. They were super delicious! I love when he gets in the kitchen and has a masterpiece of a recipe in mind! Bob didn't want cake for his birthday, so we celebrated with three pieces of cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory - key lime pie, double chocolate Godiva and plain cheesecake with strawberries. We stuck a candle in each slice and each of us girls serenaded him with HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! May the SUN SHINE on you each and every day! We are going to Nathinal Ratliff! YEAH!

Also, on Bob's birthday, Isabella and I took a ride with Grandpa Dale to an adoption event held by Rescue Warriors Corp held in Bolingbrook, IL. What an EPIC day! It was there, that Grandpa Dale fell in love with his "Fuuuuuurever" friend, who is a 9 year old female Yorkie, now named TRIXIE (formerly Pixie). She weighs 4 pounds and loves to cuddle and be loved. She found her match made in heaven, that is for sure.

The last couple of weeks have been a little hard, Isabella was home sick with Influenza B and high temperatures for one week and missed school. And this week, Giselle has been out of school for the week with the flu and high temperatures.
Tomorrow is February and its going to be 50 on Sunday! Unheard of in Chicago this time of the year! Sunday Superbowl = lots of homemade snacks and food in the kitchen. Shakira is going to be better than JLO. For sure.
