This and That

I think I'm in a blogging slump. I haven't had much desire lately to blog or be on the computer, there's been a lot going on.

Monte's not doing so good with his Crohn's Disease, prayers would be appreciated.

His wedding ring has not been found. I really don't think we'll see it again.

And now on to happier things -
We celebrated Monte's (tomorrow) and Isabella's (Nov. 2) birthdays with his family this past weekend. Isabella is now decked out with new toys, and it's not even her birthday yet, she's got another party to go! She got baby doll furniture (highchair, swing, car seat, crib, and stroller) from her Mama and Papa (grandma and grandpa). Some other things she got were a My Little Pony magic tea set, a doctor kit, clothes, and a big Play Dough activity center. Her VeggieTales cake turned out alright. I'll make it again for her next party. We had meatloaf, which is both her and her daddy's favorite food. She's been worn out from the weekend. She's been sleeping 13 (usually it's 11) hours straight at night, plus her usual 2-3 hour naps!



Monte and I got to go on a date while we were staying at his parents. We went out to eat, did a little shopping, and went to a movie. We saw The Express, it was great!! And I don't even like football, but I loved this movie.

It's gotten cold here! It was in the 30's all day, and sleeting! Isabella has always been one to get cold easily, every morning she tells us she's "freezing", and so Monte will hold her tight and put a blanket on her to warm her up. I finally got a picture!

Love the cake! It looks great!

I've been wondering what you've been up to.

Great post! I thought Isabella's bday was coming up - was 2 as hard as 1? 1 was really hard for me, but I don't think 2 will be as bad...

1 was really hard for me too! I had some minor sadness about her turning 2 a couple of months ago, but not bad. Now I'm really looking forward to her birthday because she's old enough to know what's going on (kind of) so I know she'll have lots of fun!
