Buzy, buzy!!

Well, its been a buzy couple of weeks here in VA. Jeff turned 42 and we went out to dinner (minus Lily, who stayed with her preschool teacher, Sara). We ate at the wonderful Mill Street Grill. We both got BBQ and it was amazing! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great restaurant.


The weather has been typical March weather, sunny & warm one day then raining & cold the next. I know spring will be here soon as is evident by the daffodils already blooming and the tulips pushing up to bloom next.


One day a week or so ago, Lily wanted all her animals in my bed. It was quite the site, so I had to snap a photo. She's hard to see in the photo. It reminds me of when ET hid in the closet amongst all the toys.

You can see baby jaquar, various teddy bears, dog puppet, Henry the Octopus, Elmo, Grover, bunny rabbit & Minnie Mouse.

A month, really?

Apparenty its been a whole month since I posted anything. Doesn't seem that long. Not a lot going on here in VA. We got snow again last Sunday evening. Total snowfall around 5-6 inches. Thats a lot for here. No school Monday morning and a 2-hour delay on Tuesday. Today it got into the 60s and most of the snow is gone.

Lily had speech today. She is really coming along well. She has mastered the "s" very well and can now say "Up in the sky" instead of "Up in the ky". I'm so proud. Still needs help with "n" and "l", but that will come in due time. We practice and read at home and that helps.

She is totally into Candy Land. It was a birthday gift from her friends. Every day we play. Sometimes I give her the good cards to get her closer to the end so we can quit. I probably shouldn't, but it takes a long time to play CL according to the rules.

I told Lily today we were going to go on an airplane and visit her Aunt Heather. She sounded excited. I hope it goes well. This will be her first plane ride. I'm really looking forward to seeing my sister and her kids. I have only seen photos of Neil, so I'll get to hold & cuddle him. Good times!
