Days with AJ

I took AJ to his follow up appointment from his head injury.  He is all healed and doing great!

 Here he is with his little battle wound and his two new Squishmallows...Cheeto and Lynk!

Princess Zelda

I took this gorgeous photo of Zelda last week; she is such a beautiful little Princess! It has been a busy few weeks for us, Ali is training in her new job, so I get the pleasure of taking AJ to school most mornings and having a couple nights a week. I was able to meet up with a friend and catch up this week. I have had a rough time fighting illness/pain/vomiting but looking forward to surgery next week and hopefully feeling better in the days to come.

Look at those blue eyes!

 

Sweet AJ

AJ is doing awesome at taekwondo and is ready to test this Saturday.   

That pose!

 

OUCH!

 Poor AJ had a fight with a coffee table last weekend.  A few hours at the ER, glue, CT scan and home he went with a gash in his forehead and a bruised/scratched eye. He is doing good and healing well.  

Happy Valentine's Day From AJ

AJ received his white belt last week.

Hello Monday

Last week flew by, I never had a chance to post, I didn't feel the greatest, but have things lined out and I am scheduled for surgery soon, hopefully that will bring some relief. 

AJ stayed all night, and we spent time at the house hanging out, the cats rested all weekend!

To My Girls..

 I saw this today and it made me stop and think. I stopped and thought about how lucky I was to be the mother of my two, kind, intelligent and loving daughters! I have watched them grow from tiny babies to grown women and now starting their careers, family and it truly is a privilege. This momma heart is so full.   

Today Ali found out she passed her NCLEX and is closer to starting her job as an RN in ICU. I truly can't think of anything more rewarding than watching my girls achieve their dreams!

Hello February

We kicked off February with a clogged sewer drain!  Which is always fun, Roger spent the weekend working on the sewer line. 

We worked around the house, cooked and just enjoyed the weekend. 

I believe the cats have had enough photos, check out the looks (side eye) I am receiving. Lynk in a bowl!

Big Mac

Zelda - The only princess in the house and the smallest cat I have ever had. And boy does she have a big attitude.

This is the sunrise from last week.

100th Day at School for AJ

I had to share these adorable photos of AJ's 100th day of school.  

He sure is an adorable old man!

 

Weekends

Weekends are always so short it seems.  I met Kynedy for breakfast so I could hear all about her trip to Dallas. I picked up AJ later that afternoon to stay the night. Of course, all he wanted was McDonalds and to hang out with Grandpa and play Fortnite!

My oldest cat Leo.

It was somewhat of a quiet weekend. I am still not feeling well and hope to have some answers after I see a surgeon this week.

 

Friday Night Basketball

AJ finished up his basketball season Friday night.  It was a pleasure watching him play...he has the best sense of humor!

 

Extended Weekend

We just finished a 3-day weekend for us! We now get Martin Luther King Day off.  AJ was able to make his basketball game Friday night, after not feeling great through the week. This sweet little man got 3 baskets!! He played so hard and was so proud of himself!  Besides going to AJ's game, we did not do much of anything besides work around the house and rest. 

Kynedy is in Dallas for work this week, and although it is cold there, she is having a great time. I can't wait to hear all about her travels.

Big Mac staying warm and keeping me warm!

 

My beautiful youngest daughter!

 

Although we had Monday off, Roger had a procedure scheduled so we were up early and ready to go. It was all good news for him.  

Love this man dearly!

Congratulations, Ali!

My sweet first born has accepted a position as an ICU nurse and I could not be prouder of her. This was her goal she set out to do after high school. She had to pivot a few times, boy did she succeed in the end. Ali is one of the most competitive and intelligent young ladies I have ever known.  I know she will be one of the best ICU nurses, I can't wait to watch her grow. 

Congratulations, Ali!! We are all so happy for your success!

Such a lucky little guy, he has the best parents! 

 

January

It has been cold and snowy since the new year began. We made it through the first week of work after break! I am still fighting stomach issues and was exhausted when Friday came along. I spent the evening resting; Saturday I caught up on laundry and more rest. Sunday Ali and AJ joined me for breakfast, we tried the new Blueberry Hill restaurant, it was very delicious, and the service was great.  We ran a few errands and then I headed home to get ready for the work week.

I always have lots of company when I am resting.

The moon was so bright Monday morning, not a great photo but it was beautiful.
