Let's see, where to start. Friday night I went to the hospital to visit with Leah and Cecilia. Cecilia was in her green outfit and green hat for Patty's day and looked adorable. She smiled for me several times and just looked adorable. I stayed for about 2 hours and just enjoyed my time seeing her and talking to Leah and John. She really is doing great. She is gaining weight and they are taking her off of more and more of the machines. She is at 1 lb and 15 oz.
Saturday morning I went scrapbooking with the girls for the first time in a LONG time. It was a great time and I managed to get a lot done. MOST of my Memphis trip is done. It is almost to 100 pages just for this one album. Leah and Deanna were not there so I got a lot more done than I normally do. Darla kept me on my toes but that is normal for her. :o) Hubby and the kids just spent a day together and Victoria spent the night with one of her friends for the first time since she had surgery so that was kind of scary, yet it went great!
Sunday morning I cleaned house and got stuff done and then we went to my aunt's for the party. I am uploading pics of that as we speak. Not sure how long that is going to take since I am doing 20 of them at once, but I will put a link up as soon as I have one. It was a great time and it was wonderful seeing Malcolm again. It was also great seeing Nayah and Michelle. They decided not to go to Jamaca til this summer since his family is going to have a family reunion and they want to go to that instead. So they are just going to be here for a couple of weeks, go to FL for a week then come back here for a little while longer. Hopefully we will be able to get together again before they have to leave. Malcolm did decide that he would take the tour to Korea and spend a year there and hopefully be able to get out after that is said and done. Michelle and Nayah hope to go over there and visit him while he is there. Who knows... maybe my mom and I will go with them and make a trip of it :o) I know I want to go back to visit and so does my mom. Anyways, the party was wonderful and it was great to be with them. There were lots of people there and Nayah was being passed around like a hot potato but I did get to hold and spend some time with her. After we left the party we went to my grandma's house to visit with her for a while. She had been at the party but left early with my other aunt since it was too much comotion for her. She wanted us to stop by so we did and stayed and talked with her for a while. She really is the most amazing woman ever. Her and Hannah just sat and snuggled while we were there and the other kids were close by. She loves being with the kids and they love being with her. It is one of those precious things that I will always treasure.
That was pretty much my weekend in a nutshell. Oh, and HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!! NOT, that it is going to be around here since we are getting a snowstorm come through here today and tomorrow and have the potential to get 4-8 inches of SNOW. So, BLAH to the first few days of Spring :o)
Hubby has his first business trip coming up this Thursday. Which is really quick since this is just his second week on the job. He will be going to Chicago Thursday and Friday and either be back sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning. The first of many business trips to come I am sure. He is excited and really liking his job so it should be great. OK, I am off to get more cleaning and laundry done. I will add the link to the pics as soon as it is done. Hopefully it will not take all day to do!
