Wanted:

Wanted: The Green Heron that stole one of my fishies out of my pond yesterday morning. He showed up a couple of days ago but only recent MURDERED (ok, so he has to eat) one of the beloved pond swimmers.

For all of you that were concerned about me when I was sick, I'm fine now. Yeah, I didn't think anyone knew I was sick either. Last Thursday Brent took off work to take care of me b/c Wednesday night I was greener than a frog and managed to vomit anything and everything known to nourish me. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep and was dry heaving, I finally took some zofran I had from my pregnancy with Makenna. Much better afterwards.

Last weekend we didn't do much b/c the weather was so cold (thank you snow). We did manage to venture to the mall for a little entertainment. Makenna played in the little play center there. She also had her first hug...from a boy...really. She wasn't very interested in him but boy, (ha, no pun intended) he was interested in her! After hugging her, he took her by the hand and led her to his parents, lol. She must be one hot chick!

Yesterday it was nice out so Mom, Makenna and I went to Krannert to hear some Celtic, Irish music for FREE. It was really nice and there were quite a few kids. Makenna and I made really tasty chocolate chip cookies for Brent! She learned how to say cookie yesterday, lol, as she was looking in the oven watching them bake. She also asks you now "Can you see it". Other phrases she says are "It's a baby" and "That's so cute", she will say please when she wants something and just started saying "Um" (we apparently use that a lot). After the cookies were baked she ran around the house repeating cookie over and over again, she also stole one off the counter. She learned to say UP yesterday and a couple of days ago, PURPLE. Last night we roamed around the backyard and Makenna played on her swingset. Afterwards Brent had fun catching some of the those birds that look like PLASTIC BAGS, oh wait, those were plastic bags. Anyways, the trees are bag free now. Makenna got to ride around in the wheel barrow, lol, I needed it in the front yard and she needed to get there too. I raked some leaves out of the front yard (as well as picking up litter) while Brent and Makenna walked around on the sidewalk, then played on the porch swing.

This weekend is Mom's birthday and we have a cookout planned. Ribs with all the good sides and CAKE. I've been wanting some cake FOREVER...I've been watching this wedding show and it just makes you want the wedding cake..every time. Anyhow, hopefully it doesn't rain! Sunday we are suppose to meet up with some friends that we haven't seen in about 6 months, they have a little girl that is about a year older than Makenna. It is suppose to be nice out so we are going to meet up in a park and do a little exploring!

And I don't have any picture posted yet...but I wiiiillll, sometime.
