God has blessed me much more than I could ever deserve. I hope to live my life in complete praise to Him--the One who has given me everything.

Work, work, work, work, work!!

In the past 2 days, we've mowed, mulched, put out flowers, trimmed hedges, planted 2 tomato plants, organized our garage, got ready for a yard sale, washed 2 cars, washed house off, painted table & chairs, cleaned 1/2 of the living room carpet, & kept up with laundry & dishes! Wow! That is a lot with a little one in tow! We are so satisfied with our accomplishments that we are taking today off to play! Yay! 

It is our last day to play before Ryan starts back to work & back to school. He has taken the last 2 weeks off from school since he was traveling with work & visiting family. It has been a nice break for us all. So, today...we head out to spend the time as a family. Since there's 60% chance of rain, I'm not sure what is in store...maybe the Apple store...heehee! We'll see.

I hope you all enjoy your day off! Thank a veteran or current military member. They are the reason you are free!

On the Mend

Thankfully Sydney, Ryan, and I are all on our way to being healthy again. Ryan and I started getting sick last Wed/Thurs. It wasn't a fun week for any of us! Besides the lagging cough, we are feeling much better. I hope we all stay well for a long time!!

Saturday, we headed to Central City, KY to pick up Sam. We dropped him off on our way to IL a week and a half ago, but when our destination for that Friday changed from Paducah to Evansville, IN we weren't able to pick him up like we had originally planned. Luckily, my parents love Sam. So, they didn't mind keeping him. It is nice to have him home. :o)

We also picked up a lawn mower that my parents graciously gave us. Now that we're in a rental house, the yard work is up to us. We're not complaining, though. We're actually looking forward to it. We were very thankful to my parents!! It definitely saved us $$! 

When we got home from Central City, I mowed our yard while Ryan worked on cutting back 3 of the plants that were hugely overgrown. I wish we would have taken a before & after picture because it is a huge difference! Our yard was in desperate need of mowing! It looks great now & I can't wait until the weather warms up again so that we can get out there and play!! 

Thanks to all for your prayers for Sydney. It was a scary time for this mommy. Although the sickness itself wasn't a scary sickness, the fever was. It just wouldn't break at night. That part really had me freaked out. Now, she's fever-free & sleeping through the night!! Yay!! :o)

On a side note, Sara, you were right!! Once she got close to the 18 month mark, she began sleeping through the night with no problem. We still have to get up with her occasionally, but it's only a few times a week. That, I can definitely handle! Thanks for giving me hope!
