Great feeling :)

I have President's Day off. I'm in a fantastic mood because we had a fun day (Ben and I went out for lunch and a movie). When we came home Ben and I both cleaned house for a while, I mean REALLY DEEP CLEANED. We're working on laundry but I'm thrilled to take it easy on my day off and play with Betsy, read my book and maybe do some sewing.

So date with Ben + clean house + long weekend = HAPPY SHANNON!!

A peek of spring...

I picked up a few summer essentials for Betsy's wardrobe today, and I had to take a picture when she tried on this romper. I think it's adorable.

Healthy living update, week 2

As of this morning I've lost 8.2 pounds. Also I burned 3500 calories per my heart rate monitor last week. Due to getting sick I haven't worked out in four days but I'm anxious to go the gym after work tomorrow!

Haircut 3.0, or the great scalping of 2010

I've been keeping Betsy's hair short because it's easier to maintain. I tried to give her a little trim this evening, and she MOVED and yikes...

Oh well, hair grows. In a month it'll look fine!

Betsy enjoys the slides

Glamour Girl

This morning we woke up still sick and neither Ben nor myself felt well enough to take Betsy to daycare. We are SO lucky that Betsy likes to entertain herself. This morning we fed her, changed her and let her play in the playroom while we were recovering in bed. At about noon Ben took her out of the playroom and she ran back to our room where she laid on the floor and put herself to sleep. I moved her to the crib.

When she woke up (in a fantastic mood) we fed her lunch and decided to walk to the park and get some air. It's close to our house but we only spent about ten minutes at the park. It started getting chilly and Ben and I don't have much endurance after two days of illness. Bets walked in the door and went straight to the playroom where she is now (banging on her drum set).

Anyways here's Betsy in all her 'glamor girl' glory.

On the mend.

Monday in the middle of the night I awoke to the sounds of throwing up. For ONCE Ben was sick, not me! He stayed home from work yesterday and I dropped Betsy off at daycare and I headed to work. Three hours into my day I got sick at work :(

I came home and spent the next 24 hours in miserable shape.

We're both starting to feel better but I'm SO SORE from throwing up.

As of this afternoon we got a call from my father-in-law that he has come down with whatever we had.

Please send healthy thoughts and prayers our way.
