Day 97/365

Today is my favorite TV day! I got all excited for Grey's and Private Practice today. I got my drink and made myself comfortable, turned the channel and what did I find........RERUNS!!!!! I am not a happy camper! I know last week they said they would be new this week! What happened???????

Day 96/365

Today was a very difficult day. Today we had to say goodbye to a very special man, my Uncle Jim who passed away unexpectedly April 1, 2011. Days like today it is hard to find the beauty in things, but if we look around us there is new life all around us. I believe that this is the start of a new life for my Uncle, one with our Heavenly Father. I also believe that one day I will see him again, along with all of my other loved ones that have gone before me. Rest in Peace Uncle Jim, I Love You!

Day 95/365

Its a hockey night in Pittsburgh!!! Nate may not be able to do a whole lot of anything right now, but he can still watch his Penguins! This makes him very happy!

Day 94/365

Took Nate back to the Dr.'s for a recheck. He still isn't doing too well. We now have to give him two different albuterol treatments one with an added medicine and one regular and have to alternate them every three hours. This thing is really hanging on. Poor kiddo!

Time for Jess and Jess to leave. :( We had a very nice visit! Loved having the girls here. Hope to see them again soon.

Still hanging out at ACMH! Today AJ and the kids at school sent home a really great card for Nate! It really made his day!

Nate is still in the hospital. Even with the Oxygen on his Pulse Ox is only 91. My poor little guy, I hope he starts feeling better soon.

Day 77/365

Had to go rescue my kiddos from the bus this afternoon. The bus got stuck unable to turn around because this dumb truck thought it could make that sharp turn. It could not! So they called and I was able to retrieve them instead of making them sit forever.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Emmie came to hang out with us today while her mom went shopping. Her and her boys had a good time playing soccer and dancing with the Kinect!

Day 75/365

There is just something missing in this picture. Hmm I wonder what it can be? Oh yeah, it's my stove! Apparently my stove would rather die than have me cook on it. We sent it to the repair guy. Hopefully he can fix it for us!

Day 74/365

The Ameri-Gas man came to check out out leak. He was super nice and went out of his way to try and figure out the problem. Sadly as it turns out, the leak is somewhere in the stove! I guess its time to get a new one........eventually!

After a few sunny days Newman was once again happy to go outside, that was until he went out today! As soon as he got out and I got the door shut he realised there was a reason he didn't go out when there was all that nasty white stuff out there. He quickly turned around and begged to come back in!

Day 64/365

Don't let this fool you! It looks like dinner! It smells like dinner! But no it is not! We tried to make beef stew for dinner but it wasnt done until really really late. We opted for Subway instead and we will try again tommorrow.

So let me explain, AJ went to the mall with his friends Carissa and Stephanie! While there he bought new shoestrings. He bought himself green ones and Stephanie got pink ones. Well since Stephanie and he are "dating" they each put one of each in their shoes. Crazy huh?

Day 60/356

Today was a berry good day! OK so actually the day was just kind of ordinary. Yesterday at work the produce company accidentally sent us zucchini instead of cucumbers, so when they brought the cucumbers in today they gave Alan and Kelly some fabulous berries. (Being married to your boss sometimes has its perks) I made some fruit dip and look forward to enjoying these wonderful little gifts :) !
