Home Again

Wow, do I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on! Our week at my parents was great, and went by so fast. We went somewhere every day, and Isabella is completely worn out. The weather was (and still is) cold and yucky, so Isabella didn't get a chance to roam around my parents' farm at all. She did get to see the baby lambs for about 10 minutes, and she was busy baaing like a sheep for the rest of the day! It was so nice to see my family. On Wednesday we met my sister and niece halfway for an afternoon of shopping. My mom bought me lots of cute, new clothes for my birthday present! She also gave me a canner, so I don't have to borrow my mother-in-law's anymore, which was kind of a hassle. We also got to see my brother and his family quite a bit since they only live a few miles from my parents, on Thursday they had a birthday supper for my grandma and me. And since the weather was so yucky, we got to see a lot of my dad, since he wasn't able to be in the field or work very much outside. And I have my cuddly girl back, at least she was at my parents. My mom brought us back yesterday, we were glad to see daddy, and he was very glad to see us! Isabella did great in the car for both of our long trips, we never heard anything from her, even though she didn't sleep very much. She loves just looking out the windows. Then Monte and I went out to celebrate my birthday, it was a great night of eating and shopping, we picked out all of our seeds for our garden this year. For some reason, that's one of my favorite things to do, I really look forward to going shopping for everything for the garden.
