Getting Older, Trips, Costumes & Doctors

We recently attended wakes for two of our friends’ grandmothers’ wakes. It reminded me as to just how fragile life is, especially as we get older. I only hope that I don’t experience that anytime soon. Unfortunately as we get older, it’s part of life. That a sad fact that death is always in our lives but then again so is birth!





This past weekend we had a good time with both of our families. We went to the zoo with my parents, youngest sister & her boyfriend. It was a beautiful day for November. Afterwards we had wings for dinner & ice cream with my folks.


The next day we had lunch & visited with my in-laws. Then we switched out our son’s toddler bed with a twin bed. Since then he sleeps so much better & almost all night in his bed; probably because he has more room & was more comfortable.



As we got ready for bed on Monday night, our son decided it was my turn to try on his knight costume. Always willing to make my son happy, I was ready… so there I was wearing something WAY too small for me. :-)


This week we had my daughter’s two-month check-up which went well. She’s in the 90% percentile for her weight & height. Her development is right on track. We’ve switched because she has slight acid reflux when eating; that girl just cannot wait to eat fast enough! (LOL) We’ve been so blessed with both our children.


Our son really enjoyed his school’s field trip to the police station. They got to check out everything at the station, including the police car & jail.

Last night we made fresh salted pumpkin seeds for the first time. They were so yummy! The bad news is that I started feeling ‘off’ late last night when both kids were having issues getting to bed. Ever since early this morning, I have felt like a weight is resting on my head. I get dizzy & feel very light-headed with a bad headache. Hopefully this will work itself out soon.
