Could that be Spring?

I am checking back in after a few crazy weeks of life.  It is a gorgeous day here in VA and it looks like the upcoming week is going to be awesome! There is just something about nice weather that makes everything seem better. So here is what has been going on the past few weeks.

-We have visited urgent care 3 times, 2 times per kid. One group visit . E had an ear infection and then most recently was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia. Two doses of IV antibiotics and he is back to his superhero self.  L has managed to limit herself to a cold for now and we think she is teething.

-Leia is officially crawling, pulling up, and generally moving at a rapid pace. She is making the switch from purees to more solids foods with great voracity. She is still nursing like a champ and wants to eat anything she can get her hands on. Watching her "chew" with no teeth is really cute. She is not sleeping well at night which stinks but Mama is going to work on that soon enough.

-Emory is doing great in spite of his sicknesses. He is excelling in school. He has mastered lots of Spanish words such as body parts, colors, and numbers. He is eating regular dinners with us on a frequent basis. He is taking swim classes and swimming like a fish.

-We made two big purchases at the end of  last month...a HARLEY and a playset for the littles. Yes, a Harley. I think I might be more excited than Daddy. It is a 2008 Nightrod. And the best part is we paid CASH. No debt makes it even more awesome. The playset was also paid for in cash.  We are trying to decide where to put in the yard and what work will need to be done to get  the spot ready. Grandad and Uncle Mike are standing by to help put it together.

-Spend free month went well though I did cave a few times however, I ate out WAY less and made only two trips to Target (one big trip and one for Easter). We stayed pretty close to our grocery budget as well. And another HUGE thing...we paid off two, yes two, credit cards! I am so excited to have that debt gone. We just have one more to go!

-I did not finish any organizing or cleaning projects but oh well! My kids are happy and fed. The cleaning will wait to my furlough days which start in late May, early June.

So life around these parts has been busy.  In fact, I am going to scoot now so I can get these buggers dressed and get OUTSIDE!

Happy Spring!
