January 8, 2012

Yesterday, we spent the day at the Chicago Wolves Game for the Girl Scout Cookie Kickoff. We had a blast. Did some cookie stuff, played some games, had amazing hot dogs, and watched the Wolves kick some butt! The girls had a great time. We (adults) had a great time. And we were all exhausted when we got home.

So, now we are on to selling cooking for the next couple of weeks. Madilyn has set an enormous goal of 2012 boxes. She is willing to work her butt off, so she says. We shall see!

So, we had our first hospital visit today. Steve fell down the stairs on Monday and finally today (Friday) decided he needed to get checked out. He was having lower right back pain. So, to the ER we went. Turned out he fractured a couple vertebrae. And he feel like a complete dipstick for not getting checked on Monday like I suggested. So, we shall go to the neurosurgeon on Monday. Until then, he has some muscle relaxers and pain meds to help him keep comfortable. The ER doctor seemed to think he wouldn't need surgery, but that is up to Neuro.

We are praying for no surgery...and just a lot of resting!

January 2, 2012

The second day of 2012. It's about 12* and my dear husband took our daughter and his father shooting. Yes, at the outdoor range! They left here with snow pants and winter coats. I'm not sure that by the time they get all the gear on, they will be able to pull the trigger.

Madilyn was super excited to go to the range with her daddy and papa. Papa said he hasn't been shooting in over 20 years. And Madilyn got a .22 pistol for Christmas she has been dying to shoot. I sent the camera. Hopefully, someone remembers to take some pictures!

Happy 2012

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great night celebrating with family and friends.

We spent the evening at my in-laws house. We played card games and had snacks. The girls even sang a little Karaoke. At midnight, we went outside and blew horns and popped poppers. Exactly 5 minutes later, Madilyn wanted to go home...she was tired. She lasted abuot 10 minutes in the car before the snoring started.

We have spent the first day of 2012 in our pj's. And it's been wonderful!

Here is to a healthy, happy new year!
