In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

And I'm way behind the herd!

March is already here and I've failed to get so many things posted. So I'm going to try to get caught up a bit in the next few days. It seems like we've been on a bit of a roller coaster since the end of February. The kids and I took a short trip to SC to visit my parents, and had a great time. We had one fairly warm day to go to the beach and let the kids dig in the sand, but pretty much every one else had the same idea! Katie Mei had a wonderful time playing with Gramma's dog, Cody, and now we cannot pass the pet section in the grocery store without her pointing and yelling out "Cody!" every time she sees him on a bag of dog food. Gramma also graciously spent some time playing Katie Mei's favorite game, Curious George's Discovery Beach Game. You Go, Gramma!

The day we got back from SC, I came down with some horrible stomach bug that knocked me for a loop! I spent almost two days in bed. Right after that was over, Katie Mei, Jay and I got bad colds. So we've all been rather out of sorts for awhile. Katie Mei was nice and sweet to her Mommy for the most part, but I think that was because Daddy stayed home from work and she got to watch TV continuously.
We finally got a little warmer weather and I got outside when I felt well enough to walk around. the fresh air was reviving, and I grabbed the clippers and started pruning the crepe myrtles. Before too long everyone was outside doing yard work. I was glad my burst of energy was more contagious that my stomach bug!

So I still have lots more to share. Stay tuned for my next installation where I share the Music Show, featuring the "Team Hit the Beat". For now I leave you with this video of Katie Mei on the day she learned how to ride her trike. You can hear her saying "I did it!" Go Mei Mei!
