The weekend

Sorry we haven't blogged since Friday. We are very pleased to report that we've had a wonderful weekend. Eden still isn't eating very much, but she continues to drink plenty of "cow milk". The dreaded leg pain occasionally comes back, but seems to fade away as quick as it starts. Saturday morning we found ourselves awake, having discussions with a certain little someone that thought 4:15am was 10:30am. Her mom and I didn't think it was as much fun as she did!! For some reason, the little stink-pot was up and ready to go! She wanted to get out of bed and start reading some books. She did manage to con mom into getting up and getting a cup of cow milk, which she drank the entire thing. Back in bed, she was still ready to go go go. We told her we're not getting up until the sun is shining - around 5:30am, she fell asleep, we think. At 7am, she was up and raring to go. Not sure where the kid gets all the energy!!

We hope you all got the chance to get out and enjoy the warm spell we had on Saturday. The three of us took a long walk up to the square in Washington - one of our favorite courses. We saw some Easter eggs hanging in trees along the way, saw a few puppy dogs having their own walks, bumped into some friends on the square, picked up some lunch and then headed for home. It was an enjoyable trip! Sunday was pretty much the same thing, other than it was a tad cooler with the wind blowing, so we came home and Eden FINALLY got to swing in her own swing in the back yard. After swinging, she helped me pick up corn cobs that the squirrels left behind. Our 5-gallon bucket was half full by the time we were done. We ought to have some healthy squirrels (by the way, we have one black squirrel that visits the spinner frequently). Tonight as we were getting Eden ready for bed, it was nearly 8pm, and we asked her what time she thought it was - she cocked her head off to the one side and replied "time for Edie to go to bed". One book later, her eyes were closed and I'd guess she was watching cows jump over the moon (one of her favorite books). Night y'all.

  1. So glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the weekend. Our boys were out most of it, too. Baseball season is right around the corner so the kids had their gloves, balls, bats and even the bases out. I enjoy knowing all that Eden is up to these days. Thanks for painting such a clear picture for all of us.
    Love and Prayers to all of you!
