More flowers today. My backyard is finally blooming again. I saw two
hummingbirds yesterday, too. I can’t wait for spring to get here. It’s
been a little too cold.



Today is back-to-back-to-back meetings so it promises to be a LOT of
fun. (not!) What I really want to do is crawl right back in bed and stay
there all day.

Welcome February.



Here’s David snuggling up to Daddy. We spent the morning getting some
coding done and then David and Jake played the Wii a bit while I worked
on my kit from A Million Memories.



Productive days are my favorite. As Jake watched the Superbowl at a
friend’s house and David napped, I finished working with my kit and felt
happy and satisfied. Some of my favorite layouts of all time.



Got some sad news today from friends. A lot of that going around lately
which makes me pensive and sad. More on this later.

Love him.

He finally decided to remove his band-aid last night. I couldn’t believe
it. I am so proud of him. And then this morning, he pooped in the toilet
for the first time! He’s growing up, my little one.

I woke up all sick this morning. The allergies are at an all-time high
and I can barely keep eyes open. I wish things would let up a little
bit…but oh well. The little one is still moving and all seems to be
well so that’s what matters in the end.

Today started in a bit of a frenzy. I had my checkup at the doctor’s
which went beautifully and she even got David to help listen to the
baby’s heartbeat which was really nice and David loved it. But then I
had to do my glucose test which is this orange drink you have to drink
and then you have to have your blood drawn exactly 1 hour later. So I
drank my thing on the way to David’s school and then rushed back to the
doctor’s to have my blood taken. Ugh. Never liked that orange drink.



The ghastly headache seems to have mostly dissipated, thank God. In a
funky mood today but I know it will pass so I am just trying to take it
easy. Here’s to a more fun tomorrow.

Monday found all of us sick. I had a horrifying headache that was so bad
that I woke up at 4am and went down to the car to get Tylenol. Jake woke
up sick, too. But not David. He just wanted to eat candy.



The trip back was less fun mostly cause I had an unbearable headache
that drove me absolutely mad. (it’s still here).

I snapped this out of the car’s window as Jake was speeding down the
freeway. It was so magical and clear and blue that I wanted to make sure
to get a photo.



The trip down to LA wasn’t so painful (at least not compared to the
return trip.) and I am glad we got to go and see some friends.
