We've been running a hundred different directions lately, so here's a pit of a catch up. All these photos are random shots over the last couple weeks! Some day I'll get serious and do a real post with real pictures instead of these pictures from my phone!
I've been saying I'm waiting for something "good" to blog about since my last post was kind of a downer, but if I didn't keep it real I'd never have anything to write about. Grammy H. still isn't doing well. She isn't improving at all really, and it looks like we are headed toward hospice care...sooner rather than later. I did slip up to visit her for a little bit Saturday night, and I'm so glad I did! I expected far worse, but she knew me immediately, and was very appreciative for the visit. I delivered some hand-painted artwork from Delaney, so I hope that will brighter her little room up there a little bit!
We did have some good news last week! Jessica got a job with Storm Lake Public Schools! They offered her the job about 24hours after she interviewed! This takes some of the pressure off Nick for their big move to Storm Lake! Now, they just need to sell their house and they'll be good to go! They've had a few showings, so let's hope the right buyer comes along soon so they don't have to spend the whole summer apart or traveling back & forth!
We were lucky enough to be part of a good friend's wedding this past weekend! Craig's college roommate Travis got married up in Omaha & Craig was one of his groomsman. If you know Craig, he's the life of the party and he did not disappoint this weekend! We had lots of fun catching up with some old & new friends, and getting all dressed up! We even had some carefree moments on the dance floor, which is exactly what a stressed out momma needs from time-to-time! I, of course, didn't take a single picture all weekend, but it was a good one! We are still very much recovering today! We're getting a little too old for all those late nights and drinks!
We celebrated Mother's Day with our mothers yesterday! We are very lucky to have our mother's here close with us, so that we could see them to celebrate! We couldn't pull off any of this craziness without their love & support, so we are very grateful! Two-year-old's obviously have no idea what Mother's Day means is all about, but I felt the love from Delaney anyway! She was a tired, hot mess by the time we got home, but I wouldn't trade any of it for a second!
Speaking of Delaney, here are some of her latest highlights! Enjoy!
|
Delaney's dinnertime antics have gotten a bit nutty lately! She's very independent, so she won't wear a bib, sit in a high chair, or use "toddler-size" silverware. It's always "Dinner & A Show" at our house! |
|
Little Miss D is just getting into Dress Up activities. It's not fairy princess crowns and gowns for this girl. With the exception of Mommy's high heels, she's all about super hero capes and hats! |
|
Her hair is getting so long! She can rock the piggies with no trouble these days! The hardest part is getting her to sit still long enough to put them in! |
|
Our gauntlet of weekend travels, and as you can see Delaney is enjoying it! The mere mention of grandparents, and she's bouncing off the walls! I hate to "send her away" so much, but I love that she's getting lots of quality time with all her grandparents that love her to pieces! |
|
Delaney has become very musical lately! She's always singing one of her songs. Her favorites are ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle, and Rock-a-bye Baby! She has also decided that Mommy isn't allowed to sing in the car anymore and Daddy isn't allowed to whistling! So bossy! |
|
My nemesis in the kitchen finally kicked the bucket last week, so I got a brand new dishwasher! I'm such a nerd, but I was so excited...I HATED our old one! This was supposed to be my Mother's Day gift, but Delaney (with help from Daddy) spoiled me anyway with a spa gift card! |
|
The farmer in Craig, couldn't resist the first shipment of fresh sweet corn at the grocery store a couple weeks ago! It was actually pretty good considering it's so early and from a grocery store (we're used to fresh from the field corn at our house!) As you can see, Delaney loved every last bite! |
|
We have been trying to enjoy the beautiful spring "Summer" weather we've been having lately as much as we can! This means that the little peanut is staying up a little later, but in the grand scheme of things it's totally worth it for moments like this! |
