November 8- weekend

Friday was a good day- it was the perfect end to a rotten week. We spent some time with my parents and my great-uncle and great-aunt, who are in town. We love visiting with family, especially when we don't get to see them often.

Saturday was a beautiful day. Miss Emorie wanted to go outside and play, so we bundled up and headed outdoors. We have been seriously neglecting our flower beds, so we took the time to clean them out while we were playing. We got two and a half beds cleaned out, and have one and a half to go. We will finish those on Tuesday. I also plan on cleaning out our container gardens and replacing them with some fall color.

Miss Emorie went to her grandmother's Saturday evening, so the hubs and I could have a date. We went to P.F. Chang's. We had a reservation, but due to problems in the kitchen, it took an hour for us to get our food. The manager ended up comping our meal. We had a delicious dinner that ended up only costing us $3. On the way back home, we picked up sweet girl and headed home.

On Sunday, I was running a fever and not feeling very well. I am almost feeling better now, and almost positive this is the result of some nasty virus. I am hoping the husband and sweet girl are spared the fever!

Welcome to our new blog!

I regularly posted in our old blog, until I began to get burned out. I decided to take a brief hiatus, but the brief hiatus turned into almost a year.

So much has happened in that time. We have sold our house on Candlewood and bought a house with more room both inside and out. I am now almost finished with my fifth year teaching (my third in middle school), my husband just entered his tenth year at his job, and our little girl is getting ready to turn three. I've also started running again, have begun running 5ks and half marathons, and have lost fifteen pounds (bye bye, baby weight!)

More changes are on the horizon, and since so much had changed already, Lollipops and Ladybugs will exist now only as Emorie's electronic baby book.
