What’s New
I thought I better get back to writing my weekly review and link post since it has been 3 weeks since I wrote the last one.
We have had a pretty eventful couple of weeks, so I think I will try to just give you the condensed highlight reel version.
- My husband took a week off from work and we enjoyed having him home.
- We took a day trip to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and a Goodwill Outlet (Fun place where you pay by the pound.).
- We now have 29 baby chicks who will hopefully be laying eggs in a couple of months.
- 5 out of the 7 of us have had a run in with a fast moving stomach bug.
- My mom was completely surprised by the birthday party we had for her last Saturday.
- My baby girl turned two years old. I don’t have any babies any more!
I’d say we’ve had a pretty good couple of weeks.
Picture of the Week
I have taken so many pictures during these past couple of weeks, but I decided to narrow it down to just one to share with you today.
I took this picture of Janna on Wednesday. It was warm, but very windy. I am not sure why she decided that she wanted to take the kitchen utensils outside, but she’s a toddler so who knows. 🙂
If you’re wondering why she has her face all scrunched up it is in partly because of the wind (Did you notice her hair?), and partly because she is saying “It’s windy!”
