Week 49 at Home: Happy Heart Day!

Valentine's Day...a day full of love...what a great way to start the week off on a high note! The kids got some cuddly and yummy goodies, Scott bought me beautiful flowers, and Ava and I made a nice dinner for everyone on Saturday night. It was a wonderful weekend filled with good family time spent together.

A table full of treats...

G left us these two notes on our bedroom door...one about the notes I had been leaving them, and another to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday - ha!

The end result of the daily love notes I left for G...

...and Ava

We also made "Love Lattes" a.k.a. pink hot chocolate - yum!

Rare spotting of these two kiddos playing nicely together...intense Minecraft game!

Wolfie was hanging out on Ava's leg, just watching her play on her phone

We still have part of our Italy Universal Yums box to finish up, and just this week, the Ukraine box showed up...new treats for days!

Thumbs up to snuggle time!

This was a pretty quiet week, so I don't have too much to add. We stayed warm, G had fun at school, Ava enjoyed her long weekend, and now it's back to the weekend...hooray!

Scott is busy painting the laundry room (in case you're interested, it's "White Rain" by Benjamin Moore...so relaxing and pretty), and tomorrow he's hoping to install the white cabinetry in there. Should make it even more fun to do laundry, haha. At least it'll have more storage space and a longer rod to hang clothes to dry. I actually am really excited about that part! I'll post pics when done. But until then...have a wonderful week!

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...

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...

We're Baaaaack!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since I've posted anything. But, let's be honest - it's been a busy few weeks. Clearly, I wasn't busy taking photos, as I only have 3 to show on this post. Let's recap what's been going on in the Goers' household: New siding for our house...! This is a project that we've been talking about doing for years, and we finally found someone that had the right product and the right price. Our house is no longer a light peach color, it's Tuscan Clay with white accents. It looks so shiny and fresh! Now, we just need to work on our monster of a garage... I was in Palm Springs for eight, verrrrrry loooooong days. I was staffing a travel program for one of my favorite clients, so at least I liked who I was supporting while there. I hadn't traveled for work since May 2007, and honestly, I don't miss it. I guess everything changes once you have a kid. I missed Ava like crazy, and kept...

Go, Go, Goers!
