Days Pass

Toad at CdB


Another month has gone by and what do I have to show for it? Not too many entries here, that's for sure. I vow to change that!

We are still so happy with our preschool/child care changes. Birdy seems to love being at the Perfect Place and the two big girls love her, too and take good care of her when she's sad. Toad is thriving in his new setting. Ms. K takes pictures every day while she's observing and sends them to parents. I love this picture with the sunlight streaming in through the door. In the picture, he's working on his rainbow.

We had a special treat this week with a visit from Aunt Sue and the CT cousins, in town for a week of wintery vacation. On Sunday my sister Julie threw Sue a surprise 50th birthday party and on Monday Sue and the kids came over to our house for the afternoon and for dinner. It was great to spend some time with them and Toad especially had fun with the kids.

Birdy's getting over another double ear infection. She and I had many, many nights of sleeping downstairs in the chair during the last couple of weeks, but she seems to finally be on the mend after a switch in meds. She now has ten teeth, including three of her four molars.

After a couple of busy, busy weekends at work, I finally have the weekend off -- including Monday! I have a show tomorrow afternoon but other than that, we have no plans except to clean the house and for Hammer Guy to sneak some time working on the basement. That project has stalled, it seems. Part of the problem may be the new enormous HDTV that he bought in January. We seem to get sucked in every night by the crystal clear picture.

February is as good as over and we're looking forward to a busy March -- HG has Lions meat raffle each Wednesday and we've got a big First Birthday/Easter celebration to plan. Hopefully work will become a bit less stressful as our new assistant manager starts on March 3rd. I've been enjoying watching the Complete Jane Austen on PBS and am hoping to read Northanger Abbey this month, as well as catching up on the dozens of magazines still waiting for my attention. Gee, isn't my life exciting?

Lemon loves Cheerios -- and Birdy
