A Day At Grandpa & Grandma's

We went over to my parent's house on Sunday for a visit. The day really didn't go according to plan, but it all worked out in the end. We were supposed to meet at the church for their ham dinner, and then go to Mom & Dad's afterwards. Well, poor Connor got sick in the car on the way there. We were closer to our destination than we were to home when he got sick, so we just kept on driving. I called Mom to let her know that we would meet them at the house instead. We got Connor cleaned up the best we could, and we threw his clothes in the wash. Mom, Dad and Mark went to the church to get the meals "to go." Connor was feeling better by the time the food arrived, so we think it is something he ate. I was having some stomach issues of my own, although I think that was more nerves than anything, with my interview being the next day.

Speaking of the interview, I was informed yesterday that the position has been put on hold, so I don't know what's going to happen there - it's not looking very promising at this point. I am back to my online job search, and I've submitted my resume to a couple of different companies. I've also gotten back in touch with some of the agencies I had talked to last summer. Hopefully something will pan out. In the meantime, I will try and enjoy the extra time I have with my boys. :)

A Boy & His Dog

Matthew & Ginger are great pals. They spend a lot of time together in the backyard. They either chase each other around or just kick back and relax, like they're doing in this picture.

Sidewalk Chalk

Matthew loves to write & draw with sidewalk chalk. Our backyard patio is his canvas. He enjoys writing words, especially his name, and drawing handicapped parking spots, or "owie spots" as he calls them.

Signs of Spring

I have daffodils & tulips coming up in the flower bed in my backyard! These pictures were taken on Saturday, so they are even bigger now. This flower bed gets the most sun, so plants generally start coming up there first. I am SO ready for spring!

Restless in Red Wing

I've managed to catch a doozy of a cold. I slept well for a few hours, but now I just can't get back to sleep. I didn't want to disturb Dave, so I decided to "play" on my computer for a bit, and then I will go downstairs & try to get some rest down there. Connor has the same crud, so he's been cranky, but thankfully he is sleeping. I hope we're feeling better soon - spring colds are NO fun!

Spring Fever!

We have spent a lot of time outside over the past few days. Here are a couple of pictures of Connor from Saturday.

My temp job ended on Friday. I had an interview for a permanent, part-time position yesterday, and I should hear by the end of the week if I got the job or not. I'll keep you posted! At least the weather has been gorgeous while I've been off so far!

No More Speech Therapy!

Today was Matthew's last day at one of his two preschools. It was determined last week that he no longer qualifies for help with his speech, so today was his chance to say goodbye to his classmates there. We are so proud of how far he has come! He will still go to his other preschool three days a week for the rest of the school year. And we will be registering him for kindergarten this week. Matthew is growing up way too fast! I will soon be the mother of a normal kindergartner!
