Takin' It Easy

Well, my flu quickly morphed into a sinus infection and a wheezy cough, so once again, I am very thankful for virtual doctor appointments, available 24/7 (my latest one was at 4am on Thursday.) I'm pleased to say that I'm taking the appropriate meds and am healing up nicely.

Being sick has made me take it a bit slow, and focus on getting stuff done around the house. I've been able to start doing online training for RHSMB fundraising (working at sporting events/shows), I cleaned up Scott's old laptop and recycled it, and last weekend, G and I checked out a new park, and then I came home and painted a watercolor pic!


The kids are back to being busy, of course. Swimming and taekwondo, a field trip for G to the Science Museum (he LOVED it), jazz rehearsal for A (followed up by dinner at her bf's house), and a few slow nights at home. Scott and I even celebrated Leap Day with getting our taxes done (boo! we had to pay in for the first time, but that led to some good discussions about how we can work on NOT doing that for next year...but also yay! because we always go out to dinner after our tax appointment.)

A finally got the purple belt! (She earned it a few weeks ago, but had to wait for the belt to come in.)


I am really enjoying my new walking pad and flip down desk - easy to use while working!


Love this sweet girl!


G is surrounded by Minecraft sheep! The little pink sheep on his folder was his latest purchase...he had to buy it outside of a set, so he was excited to finally get it in the mail!


Scott and I are planning on reveling in the Saturday afternoon sunshine at a cidery about an hour south of home. We're going to meet up with our friends and enjoy a few hours of adult time while the kids hold down the fort at home. Vitamin D is necessary to keep you healthy, right??

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!

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...
