Nellie update- The recovery process

As of today, it's been 3 weeks 4 days since Nellie's surgery, and believe me, all 3 of us have been counting!  We have still had to carry her up and down the stairs for pottying, while on the leash.  She's been on strict cage-rest, but we've let her lay with us on the floor and couch some too.  On a couple occasions in the past week, she's jumped on the couch, and then we put her in the kennel.  I feel terrible when she does it, but thankfully it hasn't happened much.  The first week she was still pretty calm, but these last two weeks she is like a pent-up energizer bunny.  We have to work hard to get her to walk, not jump up, and to stay quiet.  As I type, though, she is sacked out next to me on the couch.  We can't wait for her re-check appointment when she will be released to normal activity.  I'm betting Zach will be the most excited, as he doesn't like having to take her out on the leash!  Haha! 

Now, for the little lady of the hour month...

My fur is growing back!

Feigning pitifulness... not for the weak!

Umm, yes?  Hello, Gwandma?  Nana?  Ya'll need to come rescue me from Mama. She won't stop taking my picture!


Oh my, her Daddy had too much Dairy Queen!


Sitting pretty!  They both look a little irked, though!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik
