Happy Birthday Jax & Jilly

Birthday Celebration

It is hard to believe that our first babies are getting on in years...dog years anyway! Jilly will turn SEVEN tomorrow and Jax will turn EIGHT on 3.17.13. I still remember when they were wee pups. Jax is still as energetic as ever and Jilly is, well, Jilly - as cuddly as stuffed furry bunny or aloof and minding her own business. Really, who am I kidding, she is never minding her own business. You could rub two feathers together and if she thinks you were petting Jax she would be across the house in 5 seconds flat to get herself in on the action. We are so grateful that they have been such great additions to our family. Tonight they got a rare treat...pig ears while the rest of us had "chocolate cupcake" pudding and a Pirouette french vanilla wafer. Happy Birthday to our Fur-babies!! We love you!

Is It Spring Yet?

Well February has come and gone in literally the blink of an eye or the blow of a snotty nose. We have had a number of ailments over the last month. Saela - bronchitis and strep again with a trip to the ED for dehydration. She was such a trooper since they had to stick her four times to finally get an IV. Asher - confirmed influenza A. Every time Asher coughed he said, "It's no fun to be sick." Then when he was better and Saela was sick again he said, "It's no fair, Saela got 'two sicks' and I only got one." Steve - upper respiratory infection. Me - unconfirmed flu and a cold. Jax - another seizure and med change. Jilly - a case of nausea due to dining on trail mix and sour patch kids with a trip to the emergency vet - where they, free of charge, clipped her unsightly long front nails. That was awesome and supremely embarrassing all at the same time.

Steve and I did make it to a couple of concerts - the group Fun and country singer Luke Bryan which were both very entertaining. Saela had a fantastic conference at school and is doing really well with both reading and math! Her listening skills at home are also improving which is just so nice! Asher is singing new songs every day including "Sally the Camel" (I swear I learned Alice the Camel...) and "You Are My Sunshine." I asked him to sing "You Are My Sunshine" one morning and he said..."You are MY Sunshine, Mom." What a way to start the day! Well, that's February in a nutshell.

Here's to SPRING!
