What a Slacker!

Just when it comes to this blog, of course!  Spring has seem to bring an endless amount of WORK that both Scott and I are trying to get through.  My replacement for my travel job started a month ago, but she started right in the middle of the busiest time of the year - and I haven't been able to extract myself from the job completely.  I think the end is in sight, though - I'm hoping that April brings many new changes...one of which consists of me having just one job!

Scott's been incredibly busy getting his business set up - and scheduling side work whenever he can.  It's funny, he used to give me a hard time about being on my laptop, and every single night, he's glued to his now.  Maybe he would be willing to post a few blog entries!

And little Ava.  Sweet, sweet Ava.  She's doing great! Well, except for the two visits to the doctor within 2 weeks.  Strep and the flu have been going around the community, so she's been tested for strep twice, and the flu once.  All 3 times, we have lucked out, and the tests came back negative! 

Ava and Scott had an excellent time today playing outside - the chalk is out of the garage, and we have fresh designs in the backyard! I think all of us are counting the days until we can go to the park and burn off some energy.  I'm already thinking of the fun places we can go this summer - the museum, the splash pool, the zoo, etc.  Ava's finally at an age where we can take her places and she "gets" it.  Lots of fun things to look forward to in the future!

For my new" job, I was sent to Denver this past week for a business meeting.  How convenient!  The meeting was on Tuesday, but I flew out on Saturday morning (first class...ahhhh....) and spent 3 great days with my parents.  It's the first time I had visited them without Scott or Ava in many, many years - and it was fantastic!  The weather was beautiful in Denver...I needed a break from the Minnesota cold and snow.  Sunshine and vitamin D has an amazing effect on the mood!

On Sunday we went to the Denver Museum of Science and Nature, and there was a great view of Denver from the 4th floor.  I'm already looking forward to my next trip back!

I promise, there will be pics of Ava one of these days...I'm still floored when I look at her hair now, and realize how long it's getting.  She sure ain't a baby anymore!  Can't believe she'll be three years old in three months!  Yikes - where did the time go?!

Happy Spring!

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

Last Week of School & Work 2023!

We just wrapped up the final school and work (for Dee) week of 2023! The kids both had spirit week/dress up days this past week, and there were fun parties for G, and a holiday assembly for Ava. Kirk Cousins (Vikings QB) was the surprise guest speaker at RHS this week. Ava doesn't really follow football, so when she texted me a few pics during the assembly, she said "The one guy is here. Football" Hahahaha! She mentioned she heard a rumor that SpongeBob was going to be there, but alas, just a pro football player. What a neat surprise for the kids (except for Ava, lol) I had a few fun events this past week, as well. We had a happy hour/celebration for a completed project at work on Tuesday night, and then my neighbors/book club headed out to the local winery for a cookie decorating event on Thursday evening. I'm happy we don't have a full calendar next week! Swimming was unexpectedly cancelled on Monday, which was A-OK with us. G has some congestion, so I was going
