Dear Crazy: Good news all around

The good news.....

1) Taylor's ear infection is gone and her chest is clear

2) Baby Amiayah came home today

3) Fast and Furious 4 comes to theaters on 04.03.09 - both Vin Diesel AND Paul Walker are in it - Happy days are here again!!

So I'll back up.....I took TP to the doctor last Thursday and we got a clean bill of health. Although she was feeling a whole lot better and back to being her little hungry hungry hippo self - it was suggested to me that I keep her home from day care for one more week just for the sake of the other kids - because of the RSV. No problem.....I've got a ton of vacation time that I am going to use and tomorrow Taylor is going to take a whole day field trip to Nana and Pop Pop's house! Thanks Scott & Leslie - much appreciated. :)

Our weekend was a lot of fun. Heather came over Friday night so she would be here bright and early in the morning for her day of fun with TP. Saturday was my mom's bday. After Jac saw the CAPS schedule a few months ago and there was a game on the 31st it was a no brainer as what to do for mom. Neither mom or dad had ever been to a hockey game so the 6 of us (the rents, Jac, Todd, Ben & I) headed downtown bright and early! We started off at Clyde's with a delicious brunch. Mom got a little crazy and had a Bloody Mary. Clearly I couldn't let her have one alone so I had one as well. One of the best ever (except for the ones Kim & Heather used to make me). After brunch we quickly walked over to the Verizon center and checked out the team store to kill time - then off to the Green Turtle (we had a lot of time if you haven't picked up on that)

The game was AWESOME!!! The CAPS beat the Red Wings 4-2! It was a fantastic bday present for mom. :)

We got home to find TP having tons of fun with Aunt Heather. Heather tried to get her to watch some Lifetime movies with her but Baby Einstein won that battle hands down. Hahahahaha! Antonio and Lauren came over that evening. It had been a while since we've seen them so it was nice to catch up. We watched a comedy special with Kevin Hart and I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Try to find him on Comedy Central - you won't be disappointed.

Sunday - Heather and I went to breakfast and then enjoyed the semi warm weather outside of Starbucks for a little bit. Nice break from being in the house most of the week before. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and playing with TP. She's getting closer to crawling. She got herself up on hands & knees and rocked back and forth before moving herself backwards again. She got a little frustrated that she was going in the opposite direction of her toys and threw herself down on her belly. From there she ended up sitting herself up and we cheered like we had just won the lottery. She hasn't done it again but it's a moment I will not soon forget!

Then it was SUPER BOWL time! Seca is dog sitting here in Leesburg so she came over to hang out with us. I haven't seen her in sooooo long! We had a yummy dinner and cheered for the Cardinals (sorry Scott!). I have to admit - my favorite commercial was not the Doritos one that everyone loved or the E*trade baby that was singing....it was the preview for the Fast and Furious 4! New Model. Original Parts. BRILLIANT!! Only 56 more days until it is released! 04.03.09 - remember it people....cause you won't be able to find me that night! HA! Dear Crazy!

The best news of all today was Baby Amiayah came home! We're so excited for Melissa, Buck and Kiara! Apparently Kiara is handling it really well. She wants to hold and help feed her baby sister. AW so cute!! She is beautiful and I can't wait to meet my new little niece! Here are a few pics that Melissa sent....
