Saturday at the Park

We went to the park in Chanute on Saturday with Siti, Leslie & Rylan. It was a nice day to feed the ducks and play. Annabelle had a great time!

Early Easter Presents!

Two Easter presents for Annabelle arrived in the mail, one from Aunt Lisa and another from Grandma & Grandpa Clark. The Easter Bunny must be ahead of schedule on the East coast! Annabelle loves her new color wonder coloring board, we can take it everywhere! Annabelle's new purple bunny from Aunt Lisa is sitting next to her in the chair helping her color. Thank you, she loves the Easter gifts!

Annabelle is feeling much better now, I guess the cold/allergy thing is over for now. She was feeling well enough last night to ride bikes, play in the dirt & make sidewalk chalk drawings with Derek, our neighbor and Annabelle's new best friend. Derek stopped by again tonight to see what the signs in our front yard meant, he was very sad when I explained to him that the signs meant we are selling our house and moving...poor guy, he REALLY likes Annabelle. Isn't that always how it goes? You find a new best friend and then you have to move!

Annabelle and I are planning a big trip to see Siti & Papa for Easter. I think we'll be leaving Saturday morning and coming back on Sunday, not sure if Justin will be joining us, he is always very busy and dedicated to the concerts/meeting etc. for school. We can't wait to see Siti, Papa, Leslie & Rylan!

Wednesday Happenings

Annabelle still has a horrible cold. Her eyes were swollen and almost purple yesterday when I picked her up from Ruth's house. I'm not sure if it's allergies or just a bad cold? She felt better this morning and her eyes looked much better. I knew she was feeling better because she was throwing things at me in the car this morning!

Saturday

Today we started the day out with our usual trip to the grocery store (Annabelle rode the horse and the truck in the entry to the store today and totally loved it!) After lunch Annabelle took a nap while Justin and I attempted to finish cleaning out the last big mess we had to conquer - all the leftover junk in our garage. I also put new mulch on my flower beds in preparation for the photos the realtor will take next week. I wanted to plant a few flowers but with the weatherman predicting colder weather this week I was afraid they may freeze! Tomorrow I move on to the next project - decluttering my kitchen countertops and top of the fridge...uggghhhh.

Annabelle woke up from her nap feeling okay, with a VERY runny nose and later today she had a 103 degree temperature! She is feeling better now and I am hoping this is just another 24 hour cold/runny nose thing...not another big sickness.

Siti and Papa leave for New Orleans tomorrow morning to see Regis and Kelly! We hope they have a fun and safe trip and we can't wait to hear about their adventures.

Midweek Update

Today we met with Keesty, our real estate agent, to go over the paperwork for putting our house on the market. We decided to list it at $85,000 in hopes that the price is low enough to sell it fairly quickly without giving it away. This could be a real bargain for a first time home buyer! We should have a sign posted in our yard and pictures of the house on the internet by the end of next week. We're praying that it sells by the end of June if not sooner. This will probably be the most inconvenient time trying to keep the house in good showing shape every day!

Annabelle was supposed to have a play date with Derek today but he didn't stop by, not such a bad thing because we were VERY busy this evening! Keesty also has a two year old son who we think would be a perfect friend for Annabelle!

I got an unusual promotion today at work - I am now a supervisor (no April Foolin'!)...I'm only supervising one other person who is having problems with her accounts. Not really something I WANT to do...and no extra pay for doing it :( Resume builder??
