long time overdue update

Well, Rose got over her pinkeye pretty quickly. She got the drops the rest of Friday, then all day Saturday and Sunday. Monday she seemed back to normal, but Tuesday she woke up super early, didn't eat much, and was running a low grade fever. Sigh. I can't wait until her sicknesses are past!

In other news, we had HUGE storms in the on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. I am so thankful that we lost no trees and had no damage to house, vehicles, or loved ones. I'm also thankful that we only lost power for about 8 hours on Friday night - some families at Rose's school still didn't have power as of this Tuesday morning!

The real excitement of the weekend was that Rose turned 14 months old on Saturday! Naturally, we celebrated by taking some photos. :)

"Hmmm ... do I prefer raspberries or blackberries?"

"Airplane!"
Rose is getting to be a rockstar at using her spoon:


(Yes, I know the video is a boring 13 seconds of her eating, but isn't she coordinated?!)

On Saturday, we also went to Milkapalooza! Rose LOVED getting close to the cows.



(We have more photos of Rose and the cows, but I'm having trouble uploading them right now.)

On Sunday we spent some time outside and grilled out for dinner. Mike made me the most delicious mojito ever, and Rose had a great time chasing the cats around the yard.

(Ugh - and now I can't upload those photos either! Boo!)

Well, to take a break from uploading photos, let me share my exciting about Mike earning a grant to partially cover his tuition in the teaching program! Congratulations, Mike!!! You are going to be an amazing chemistry teacher :)

Hope you're all having a great week!

Awesome!! Congrats Mike! And yes, Rose is very coordinated. And she gets prettier, and prettier all the time. Didn't think she could get any cuter! Wish we were around more, but will get to see you all next month, yay!
