Caleb's Day

Last week I told Caleb that Monday was going to be his day to hang out with me without little brothers during spring break. He was quite excited as he pointed out to me that he didn't think he had had a whole day alone with me (without the annoyances of little brothers) since he was a baby! When I thought about it, he was right. He may get a couple of hours alone with me from time to time, but never a whole day. So early in the morning we went and dropped Elton and Oliver off and went to get a coffee for me and a steamer for Caleb. He had been wanting to go to Barnes & Noble for some time and what he didn't know before it that you can sit there and just read. So we went there for 1 1/2 hours in the morning before we went to lunch with Dan. For lunch we went to Five Guy Burger and Fry. Because it is just around the corner from Barnes & Noble, Caleb suggested we go back there after lunch. You can imagine his surprise when I said sure. After a tasty lunch with dad we went back for another 1 1/2 hours before we met some friends at the theatre to watch "Narnia - Voyage Of The Dawn Treader". Caleb is already wondering when we can go back to Barnes & Noble! We had a great day!

Spring Break Is Here!

Spring break is here and I am so excited for many different reasons. The first being that it has been a year since I was in the hospital for almost the whole week when I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. It is hard to believe how sick I was a year ago and how it ruined our spring break. The great news is that has been a year and I am doing great. I have learned there are certain things that I cannot eat anymore (broccoli, sesame seeds on ANYTHING, sunflower seeds, popcorn, etc.), but as long as I don't eat those things I don't experience flare ups and do well.

I am excited for our spring break and doing lots of fun things with my boys in which I will do specific posts on those things to follow!
