Curls

Dan and I went to Traverse City for our 6 year anniversary. This was the first time we went anywhere overnight without the kids. Owen stayed over at Grandma and Grandpa Milanowski's house and my mom came to our house and stayed with Audrey. We drove up on Saturday morning. When we got there we went and had lunch at The Mackinaw Brewing Company. After lunch we went to six of the seven old mission peninsula wineries for wine tasting. They all had great wine and we came home with some of our favorites. The view was beautiful up there.(the pictures don't do it any justice) We went to dinner that night at Minervas and then slept in the next morning, went shopping for a while and then drove home in the afternoon. It was a great weekend!

Happy 6 year anniversary!

We've been having fun outside when the weather has been nice. The kids love going outside. I got Owen some new toys to play with outside which include a pink golf set (it was free at Toys R Us with the purchase of another toy). At 3 1/2 he doesn't care that it's pink so he's been having a lot of fun with it. The only annoying thing about playing in our yard is that it is mostly dirt, not much grass. We have too many trees back there so not much grass can grow, and with the dog peeing everywhere it kills all the grass that does grow. The kids get VERY dirty. And of course my least favorite thing to do before we can go out and play is to clean up the dog poops. Anyone want a dog?

Audrey is a walkin fool now. She walks about 80% of the time now. She's also learning lots of new words. Some words that she says are: Daddy (her favorite word), Mommy, doggy, hello, hi, Elmo, cracker, ball, car. She also knows some animal sounds. If you ask her what a particular animal says she almost always says "woof!" but she also knows a duck says quack and a cow says moo. Her hair is getting really curly now, it's so adorable. I will post some pictures of her curls soon.

I have not had any coffee the past two days. It's so hard! Coffee is my friend. I decided to try giving it up. My heart has been beating weird again the past couple months. Weird is about the only way I can explain it. It just doesn't feel right. Don't worry I did call my doctor about it. They had me wear a 24 hour holter monitor, and of course my heart only beat weird once while I was wearing it. So far in the past two days it has been much better so maybe it does have something to do with the caffeine, but man am I tired!
