We're On The Mend

Hi all!

Everyone seems to be feeling better.  Raymond is still up and down but I think he's over the worst of it.  He's still looking thin and trying to catch up on sleep.

I found Raymond curled up on our bed sleeping the other day.  I watched him walk into the room and then didn't hear anything.  That's normally (in our house at least) not a good sign.  When I went to check on him he was already asleep...in less then 2 minutes!

When he's awake...he's a happy camper!

He's trying to get as much snuggle time with everyone as possible. 

(He and Lily were feeling better and making a mess and having fun!) 

We went to the Promenade Shops the other day to meet Daddy after he was done working.  The ice cream shop was having a read along. 

Raymond kept saying, "Cow!"

(We were at Maggie Moo's Ice Cream Shop)

I was glad Raymond was sitting at the far end of the table and not closer to the kid in the cow costume.  He probably would have knocked his cow-head off. 

Lily enjoyed her ice cream too!!!

On Wednesday and Thursday the weather was SO nice.  I had all the windows in the house open.  Wednesday I took the kids over to the museum and we walked around the gardens for awhile.  Lily and Raymond sat in the wagon I bought with some of their birthday money.

Lily and Raymond kept waving at everyone and everything!  They loved their new wagon!

We saw little signs of spring everywhere : )

We also saw this guy.  It's hard to see in the picture, but he has a dog in a sling on his back.  Isabella thought that was silly!

~My Sweet Girls~

The Monday after Easter I'm taking the kids and driving to North Carolina to visit my mom and step-dad.  We will also be headed to Florida to visit my great-aunt in Sebring.  My mom is going to go along on that leg of the trip.  I've started to make a list of things to take along.  I'm very good at packing and rarely forget anything.  I was really hoping to have my mom watch Raymond and Lily for the day so I could take Isabella to Disney World one day.  She's at the age were she's really into the Princesses.  Then, I looked up the prices.  Holy cow!!!  For the two of us to get in (not including the water park) and to park the car would cost $330!  That is crazy!!!  I was so disappointed.  We just can't afford that.  I know Isabella would have the best time but it's going to have to wait.  Honestly, I don't know if we'll ever be able to take the kids there.  It's just going to get more and more expensive.  Luckily for us, Daddy is REALLY good at finding fun, free things to do.  The most important thing is being together...no matter what you're doing.   

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love,
