Fun Outside

Wow! What beautiful weather we have had the last couple of days! Spring is on it's way!!

Julianna and I have taken full advantage of the nice weather and have spent a lot of time outside. Julz loves to just walk around and explore. The other day we had our "baby" outside with us in her stroller and Julianna took her for a walk around the driveway. It was cute to watch. We also took a wagon ride with "baby" and Tob Tob. This year it's a lot harder to pull that wagon with her seeing as she's about 10 lbs heavier! I avoid the big hills in our neighborhood with the wagon or else Julz might get a wild ride! :) Grandpa put the swing back in the tree this year since Julianna loved it so much last year, but this year, that's another story. She wants NOTHING to do with her swing. She is so scared of it. Not sure what's up with that, but okay, no swing! I think I will try and take her to the playground at the park sometime and see if she likes those swings. Her swing in the tree isn't very level and that might be why she doesn't like it this year. Who knows?! She's a character!

Coming Home

Well the snow is gone and the sun is shinning! Warmer weather is on it's way!

So a week ago, my sister-in-law Kelly, told me about this show on Lifetime called Coming Home. It's a show that is dedicated to sharing stories of our troops coming home from their deployments. Seeing as we are approaching the one year mark when a huge amount of troops were sent to Afghanistan, most of the soldiers are returning from there. So far in these two weeks, there have been a number of stories of families from Clarksville, TN where Dave and Kelly live. The first episode had two of Kelly's friends on in and Kelly's very best friend Steph and her family will be on the show later in the season. I'm so excited to see them! This show is so heart warming and makes me so excited for Dave to come home! I've missed my little bro and I can't wait to see him in person!! So, if you have a chance, Sunday nights at 10pm on Lifetime, watch Coming Home!!

Speaking of my little bro, he has a birthday this week on the 17th! He's turning 26! So, Happy Birthday Dave!! Hope you have a relatively relaxing day!!

That's all for now! MUCH LOVE!

Riverdance and Sickness

Wow! What a couple of weeks it has been!

Last week, I came down with a cold/flu/something or other. I was out of work for 3 days and came home early last Monday with a fever. I was miserable and because I couldn't figure out just what it was, drugs were not helping. Friday I finally felt well enough to go to work, but not before I headed to the doctor for a sore ear. Turns out I had the beginning of a double ear infection and all the congestion I had in my head and chest needed some prescription attention before it turned in to pneumonia. I'm glad I listened to that nagging voice in my head saying I needed to get checked out! So they put me on a z-pack, gave me an over the counter med to take and a special cough med and sent me on my way! I finished the z-pack today and I must say, I'm feeling much better! Still have some congestion and a cough, but those things seem to linger no matter what you might take for them.

On the flip side, now Julianna has a horrible cold. I think this is her worst one yet. I think tomorrow I might run her to the doctor to get her ears checked out and to see if there is anything to give her. Poor little peanut is miserable!

Even Jon wasn't spared this time around. Mr "I never get sick" is sick. He's got the cough and stuffiness. Nothing to the extent of myself or Julianna, but he's still sick and I like to point that out to him!

Despite all the sickness, Jon and I were able to attend Riverdance. It was AWESOME! The show was way to short in my opinion, but I think we were just so wrapped up in it that the time just flew by! The dancing was really cool and the music was outstanding. I totally recommend seeing Riverdance if it happens to be in our town.

In other news, there isn't much. Glancing at the calender for this month, we don't have anything major planned. Mostly work. Jon is getting very busy at work and I'm just socking away my vacation days for June and a few other things here and there coming up.

Well I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy!
MUCH LOVE!
