Checking in, friends. Didn't mean to keep you hanging on that last downer of a post. I'm feeling a wee bit better today. I actually went to the doctor this morning with what I thought was my 4th bout of pink eye! Yes, I said 4th... in only 2 months. Turns out I have SHINGLES in my eye. How crazy is that?! Needless to say, they are being more aggressive with treatment and I will be seeing an Ophthalmologist tomorrow. Prayers are much appreciated as they said it is pretty dangerous stuff to have in your eye. Leave it to me to be the weirdo. LOL!
So, we've celebrated a couple of birthdays in the past few weeks. Derek turned 37 and I turned 36. Shew. There, I said it. I'm grateful for another year, but I'm not gonna lie... I'm a little freaked out that I'm crawling ever so closer to the big 40. I do believe I will freak out when that time comes. Ahhhh!! Anyhoo... moving on.
My sweet little Audrey competed in her very first cheerleading competition on Saturday. She did fantastic!! I could not have been more proud of her!! And, to top it off... they placed first! It just does my heart good to see her so happy. She truly loves it!
Yesterday was Halloween. We started with a Fall Festival at church. It rocked... as usual! Then we met up with some neighborhood friends for some T&T fun. Had a great time! The girls looked adorable - if I do say so myself. Granted, I don't think most people knew what they were, but hey - they were cute nonetheless. :) FYI, they were Lalaloopsy Dolls. You can check 'em out
here. My girls love them! Derek & Audrey picked up the wigs on a whim a few weeks ago when Maddie was sick. We just found some cute outfits here and there to put together - and wha-la! We have our own Lalaoopsy Dolls.
Since today is the first day of November and we're counting down to Thanksgiving, I wanted to say how grateful I am for my family. They are incredible and I love them so very much! My husband is fantastic. He "gets" me. He loves me. He's an amazing husband and spectacular dad. So thankful for that! My kids truly light up my life. They make me laugh. They make me smile. They make me want to be a better person. I love, love, love 'em!
That's it for now. I thought I'd post some pictures of our recent activities... as well as catch up on some previous promised photos. Enjoy!
