Last week, Emma was sick with a double ear infection, so we had her on a hefty dose of amoxicillin. Luckily, we didn't have to miss any daycare or work, but it made for some long nights during the week.
Last weekend, we had some fun when Jenny and Katie came to town and we went swimming in a hotel again with Emma. Two weekends in a row of swimming in February, that doesn't happen very often. Emma had a blast! She wasn't as scared about the water this time around, and she had a blast splashing around and playing. We even took her into the hot tub for a little bit. After swimming we went out to eat for some Mexican, and then headed back home.
This past week was sort of a battle. John and I both got sick, and Emma continues to have her snotty nose and cough. So getting enough sleep this past week was a tough job. We survived though. I actually put in 43 hours this past week, which was a tall order when I was feeling like crap for about half of those. But I think we are all starting to perk up a little and are finally heading toward being healthy again! Yay!!!
The other battle lately has been the weather. It has been cold!! Yesterday was a high of -1 and today is about the same. This is not how I wanted to welcome March in. Luckily, it looks like it will warm up at the end of the week. I cannot wait. This cold weather is getting old.
Because of the cold, we were housebound yesterday (and today). We got some organizing projects done that we had been procrastinating, so that was nice. We organized our front entry closet and Emma's closet. These were both big tasks that we had put off for a while, so if felt good to get something accomplished.
Emma was a good little cutie pie all day. She played really well, took a 3 hour nap (guess she was tired?) and then played some more. It's nice to see her feeling a little better and back to her old self. We put her to bed around 8:30 and then John and I ended the evening with some wine and the season finale of Downton Abbey. It was a great day :)
Today, we went to church- we even made it to the early service! We made some brunch, and now Emma is napping while we are just enjoying the quiet. John's Keurig broke yesterday, so we are going to go out and get groceries and then find a replacement for him-since he may die if he doesn't get his coffee fix!!!
Jim and Barb are going to come watch Emma while we do some shopping. We are going to go check out Costco, and then head to Target and maybe Lowe's. So we have some running around to do out in this cold. Yippy, can't wait.
John and I are also started to plan out the trips we want to take this summer, and I am getting really excited. We are planning a couple smaller trips, and I am really looking forward to some of them!! Details to come in the future.
Once again, I haven't taken many pictures of Emma lately, but I jacked John's phone and stole some from him- so here are some pictures of Emma to warm you up on this cold, cold day. Hope everyone has a great week :)
