Birthday weekend

We loaded up the girls and headed to Dale Hollow Lake for a weekend get-away. Matt's birthday was Saturday, so we rented a little cabin on the lake fully equipped with a hot-tub (we were really roughing it!). We had a really good time and came back refreshed and ready to get back to work.

Here is a video of Libby in the hot-tub. She had a blast!

Matt got all excited about taking Libby fishing. He went out and bought her a fishing pole, loaded up, and headed for the dock despite the cold and rain - he was determined! Libby stayed interested in the fishing for about 2 1/2 minutes - then she was over it! Our solution was to pack up and head for the hot-tub! Libby enjoyed fishing here much more!

Playing

Had to just post a quick video of Lucy in her Jump-up. She is still kinda small for it, but she loves it!

Here is Libby playing her new favorite game... she is a kitty cat, and Allie is her BFF.

We also had our first night out without the kids! Matt and I helped out our friends Mark and Jennifer with the Mardi Gras ball here in Cookeville. It is a benefit for the Genesis House. We had to work for a couple of hours, then we got to play! It was so much fun. Uncle Cody stayed home with the girls - I was so proud of him - he actually got Libby to bed at a decent hour!

Everyone in Tennessee is Sick!!

Well, Libby made her first trip to the ER on Sunday! She has had a HORRIBLE stomach bug since Thursday, and was having terrible abdominal pain. Tomorrow will make 7 days of this illness (gotta love daycare)! She has done nothing but lay on the couch and watch TV for the last week. I am sure she has lost a few pounds too. Everyone else in the house has had a terrible cold (including poor little Lucy). We are hoping to all be well by this weekend for our birthday-get-away-weekend for Matt. We are renting a cabin on the lake fully equipt with a hot-tub!!!

Matt is finally able to start moving forward with the restaurant. The contractors are saying it should take about 60 days for them to finish - we shall see! I will post some pics of the site soon.

I have been getting adjusted to my new job. It has been busy but good. It feels good to be getting into a routine again! I have even been finding a little time to make it to a yoga class or two!!!

Lucy is getting so big! She 5 months old now. She is eating green beans, peas, oatmeal, and apples so far. She is a really good baby too! She goes to bed at 6:30pm and sleeps until 7:30am! She wakes up between 4 and 5 for a quick feeding and goes right back down.

She also loves to play in her "johnny jump up." She played in it for so long today that she fell asleep!

Here is a pic of Libby playing in the snow with Daddy last Wed. She was sick with a cold, but she still had to go out for a minute!
