The Story of Us.

*This has been the normal since Monday around here. Everyone (minus Jade) has been sick. Reyna was in the doctor last Wednesday with an ear infection + strep. Jade & I left over the weekend (more on that later) and by Monday, Ruby was at the doctor Monday afternoon with the same crud. To top all of this off, I ended up with a migraine, which I have not had since November. Luckily, Jade is a rockstar and took the day off and took care of us with the help of my mama. It went a little like this: My mom came over, Jade took me in to the doctor for drugs to stop my vomiting and pain, brought me home, took himself to the doctor for an already scheduled check-up, came home, got into the car not ten minutes later and took Ruby in. Now I have a cold/sinus thing going on, but that is nothing compared to the headache I had on Monday. I am not feeling bad enough to head to the doctor quite yet. I am going to give it one more day and see how I feel.

*Well, before everyone ended up sick and miserable, Jade & I had a relaxing weekend in Ann Arbor. We left Friday evening sans the girls and over to A2. Alone. Just the two of us. Friday evening we had dinner downtown and then Starbuck's. We were both pretty tired, so after that, we checked into our hotel and just lounged. Jade may or may not have watched several episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress" with me. :))))) Saturday morning, we slept in and then went and had a delicious breakfast. Once again, we lounged until it was time for lunch and then we headed over to Olga's. Yummm!!!! We had asked Brad & Stacey to meet us in A2 for dinner Saturday night. Stacey ended up coordinating a big group of people to come up and play Whirly ball. We had dinner with B&S @ Joe's Crab Shack (hence the bibs) and then played Whirly ball with about 20 others. Have you ever played?? It was a lot of fun. I do have a bruise on the side of my leg to prove that I played though. I would definitely play again. Sunday, Jade & I stopped @ World Market on our way home from our weekend away. That was the only shopping we did all weekend, which was nice. That was definitely  not the point of our weekend. We need to make little weekend getaways more often!

*So the weather in Michigan has been SO amazing! 70's all week. ((Gran....see above picture....It's for you!!!! My hostas are coming up)) We are going to go to the park today and tomorrow. It might snow next week because it is March and it's Michigan, but for the time being, we are taking advantage of it.

*Reyna informed today that she was going to be a truck driver when grows up. This is not the first time she has told me she is going to be a truck driver. Usually it is a cememt truck driver. Today she asked me she was going to drive a propane truck and she was wondering if Papa would mind if she borrowed one of his trucks from his work. I love her.

*My cousin Kristin??? Yep, she is PREGNANT!!!!!!!! I could not be more excited about this news. As most of you know, she is my friend/cousin, Reynas Godmother and just one darn important person in our life. She is going to make such a fantastic mama and I am so excited to meet this tiny new babe.

*Don't get me wrong, I do love my mornings, but I am SO excited for tomorrow morning. While Ruby was sleeping today, Reyna and I made homemade cinnamon rolls. We let them rise all day. Tomorrow morning, they will need to bake and I will glaze them with a powdered sugar glaze. Oh, my. Healthy? Not really. Yummy??? Uhm, yes! Perfect with coffee if I do say so myself.

*Have you started thinking about Easter yet? What do you fill baskets with? Do you buy pre-made baskets? I have bought candy, but nothing else so far. I have a few ideas in mind, but I would love to hear what you like to do!
