At El pinto for Kayla’s birthday dinner
Happy 8th Birthday Kayla!
We still have about 5 hours till Kayla’s birthday officially starts, but we let her open a present early before she went to bed. She chose the present from Auntie Jen & Uncle Justin because “I wanted to make them happy and also because it had two presents”.
My company has a new CEO and today our division had a teleconference with him talking about what his beliefs and hopes for the company are. Before he spoke, he had everyone stand, look at the flag and say the pledge of allegiance. It was actually a really cool moment. This guy was a marine for over 20 years and gave a very emotional, straight forward speech. I’m very excited for our company.
I’ve become jealous of the Bertman’s blog which features comments. So I have decided to copy their brilliance and add comments to our blog. This might be a fun way to comment on things so that everyone can see and participate.
Comment away…
Our Halloween was perfect. But it wasn’t without worry. At first our main concern was Kayla’s health. She came home from school Wednesday with a fever which lasted about 24 hours. As a precaution, we kept her out of school Friday to get her healthy for the big night. Halloween morning came and the kids were seemingly healthy, but now mom was not feeling too good. Actually Laura had been fighting something all week and it seemed to turn worse. She rested a lot Saturday but it was starting to look like she wouldn’t be able to join us for the evenings festivities. But as the time to go got closer, she began to feel better and decided to go for it.
We met 3 other families at Village Pizza and the pizza and beer proved to be good medicine for Laura. She was actually amazed at how much better she felt after she ate. We went to the same Rio Rancho neighborhood that we’ve been invading for the past three years and scored a huge bounty. In fact, the kids were asking when we could go home.
Today when we woke, Kayla had a slight fever again. Unfortunately, she had to miss her friend Amelia’s birthday party (Cade went). Fearing the worst, Laura took her to urgent care where they said she is fine. We’re hoping this week is a healthy and relaxing one.
Mmmmmmmm…breakfast
Score!
Happy Halloween!
