Happy birthday Aunt April!

Today is my baby sister April's 12th birthday. <3

Man its so weird for me to think that 12 years ago, I was approached by my fourth grade teacher and told that my mom had had her baby. I couldn't wait for school to get out so that my grandparents would take Natalie and I to the hospital to see my mom. My parents were originally planning on naming her Danielle and calling her Dani for short. But according to them, when she came out she just didn't look like a Dani (this I can totally understand because I did a similar thing with Alan's original name in the womb... Wayne lol). They decided to name her April Danielle, a wonderful compromise I think. :) April was a great baby, and the sweetest little toddler ever! She started dancing at two and half years old and has yet to stop to this day lol! :) And now, she's blossomed into this beautiful, always dancing, always happy, young lady. <3 Wow to think next year she'll be a teenager! Ahhh, that's scary!

April, I love you to the sun and back. <3 No matter where life takes you, you will always be my baby sister and always have a special place in my heart. Enjoy Great Falls and bring me home stories! We love you! Happy birthday beautiful girl!

Toddler Talk Thursdays and Adventures of a SAHD

I've been debating on whether or not to share some information with you, my lovely blog readers. On one hand it seems slightly too personal to share online because it deals with a family dispute but on the other hand it is about a major change in my family's life, thus should probably be documented. As you can tell, this debate has held me back from posting these past few days, its given me somewhat of a writer's block. And this I apologize for. I have come to the conclusion to let you know what you "Need to know" as the military says lol. I will not share the family dispute with you, because that is uneccessary and unfair to the other members involved. So I will share with you this: For his personal mental health, Lon has quit the Village Inn. He felt that he could not work there any longer in the mental state he was in and could not wait to find another job first, so he quit last Friday. Our plan for him right now is to take a break from the work world for a

Top Two Tuesday!! April 19, 2011

Image
Alan is doing tons better this morning, and only had one diarrhea blow out last night. He has two and a half hours left of his liquid diet, and he's no longer contagious after noon today. Unfortunately, that means that he will not be able to go to art class today. :\ But I'm just going to prepare him some "homework" so that he still gets his art projects for that week done. And I'm just thankful last night went billions of times better than Sunday night and that he's doing so much better today. He's starting to act like himself again, which makes me smile. :) Hopefully, he'll be able to go back to daycare by tomorrow. :) And now, for Top Two Tuesday!!
