Fuzzy Bunny!

I can't believe it's already Easter. This year is flying by, and I'm happy to say the last few months have been significantly better than the first few of 2017. Thank goodness!

Ava was helping me with some yard work yesterday, and she proclaimed that spring is the time of rebirth! Baby animals are born, and the plants start coming back to life! It was such a great moment to watch her make those realizations...that's why I have always loved spring!

We've been getting ready for Easter at our house...we dyed some eggs yesterday (this was G's first time) and we've been watching a lot of Peppa Pig Easter/Spring specials. One day we'll need to dig into the true meaning of Easter with the kids, but right now, we're focusing on the egg hunts, family time, and the love of the fuzzy bunnies. Not the bunny poop, though. We found some of that in our front yard yesterday...stay away from my plants, bunny friend!



Just waiting for the kids...


Think the Easter Bunny is hanging out on our front yard?!


I was home with G on Friday (his daycare was closed since it was Good Friday) and we had a fabulous day of running errands (he made friends at the DMV) and snuggling on the couch together. Last night we had a lovely dinner on a restaurant patio (minus G screaming every time he saw a bug, and Ava freaking out about the impending thunderstorm) and then capped it off with a stop to Cherry Berry. Yum yum!

Today we'll be celebrating Easter with Scott's family...this will most likely be the last one as a family, as Grandma Deb and Grandpa Whitey are moving to Florida this year. The weather looks like it's going to be beautiful for spending time with the family and enjoying some great food!

Happy Easter to you and your loved ones!

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

By
This is a post that I'm not very excited to write.  As you probably know, our oldest dog, Spanky, had struggled with health issues (ear infections, seizures) his whole life, and recently, his health had severely deteriorated.  He hadn't been eating, his ear infection was so severe his face was swollen, he had a hard time getting up the stairs, and he very rarely wanted to play.  Last week we got a few tail wags from him, and he ate a few bowls of food, but it was a 50-50 chance that he would actually keep the food down. On Thursday, we made the decision that if he wasn't any better by this weekend, we were going to put him down.  I know Scott didn't want to make that decision as Spanky was a very special dog to him - he truly was his little buddy, following him around everywhere, wanting to be wherever Scott was, and howling his sadness whenever Scott would leave him. Throughout Friday night, it became clear that Spanky wasn't going to have a miraculous recovery...

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

By
What a whirlwind week we've had...I was trying to get everything wrapped up at work so I could take my 5-day "furlough" from last Wednesday, through tomorrow. Wednesday was my first day at home, so Ava and I had a ton of "fun" getting everything ready for the upcoming activities. I did have a wonderful massage, so that started my vacation off very well... Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug drove in from KC on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great evening catching up, and enjoying the nice weather (until the downpour that happened right as they were leaving our house!) On Thursday, Scott, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Cannon Falls and Rochester to check out the areas for potential future homes/land for us. At some point, we'd like to move south of the Cities. Ava was a very good little girl, especially considering that she was stuck in a car for most of her FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! We went to Applebee's for lunch, and the wait staff came out singing to someone else...I...

Waffles and Helmets

By
Ava, Grandma Karen and I had a great end to the weekend last Sunday.  We took a little adventure to Black: Coffee and Waffles, which is a small little place by the U which serves...waffles!  I chose to have a savory waffle, Grandma Karen chose a fruit and granola waffle, and Ava chose to build her own with cinnamon, caramel, whipped cream, and marshmallows.  Sweeeeeet! It was neat going someplace we hadn't been before, plus it gives Ava exposure to more than just her suburban life.  She needs that.  We then went and played at a local park, and Ava made a few new friends.  It was perfect weather to sit on a bench and catch up with my mom!  After 30 min or so, we rounded up Ava and headed off to the Wild Rumpus bookstore in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis (by Lake Harriet.)  We saw lots and lots of animals there (cats, chinchillas, rats, ferrets, birds) but no chickens!  Bummer!  It took forever to get Ava to narrow dow...
