Brought to you by the letter T

I'm having a hard time remembering what we did this week, other than go to work, school, and daycare. I guess every week can't be filled with super exciting activities!

Ava started her baton twirling class again this past Tuesday...there are only two kids in the class, including her, so she'll receive some solid attention and direction in the instruction. I'm glad she decided to keep taking the class...it's good for her to have a non-school activity that she can participate in.

Since G moved classrooms recently, he gets to bring in toys from home to share with his class. This week, he brought in a Paw Patrol book, and also a toy that started with the letter T. We talked about bringing in a toy tiger, a trumpet, a train, and then G found a truck to bring in. I had no idea we had so many toys that started with the letter T!

Yesterday, Ava, my mom, and I went to a local craft show. It was very small, but amazingly, we still found stuff to buy...of course! We ran into Grandma Deb while we were there, so we had a chance to chat for a bit. I told Ava that she was surrounded by all of the most important women in her life. She didn't seem too impressed. Lol

We're heading out for a nice brunch shortly and then will go shopping so Scott can start to get prepped for hunting season. I can't believe it's already time for that again! Happy Sunday!

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

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...

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

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...

Exploring Local Places

Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...
