It's a Monday

I haven't updated in a while and better let you know what was going on with us. We are all doing good. Cailin is taking a nap right now. The pollen is very heavy down here and she is badly affected by it. We have her on Zyrtec right now. I am always thankful for spring, but I hate the pollen. We had lots of rain last week. We drove up to the dam on Lake Greeson cause we heard that water was going over. As you can see, water was not going over, but it was nice to drive up. It's been 40 years since water ever went over the dam.




My dad had a spell on Saturday and fainted in the corral working calves with Matthew. Matthew rushed him to the ER. Nothing was found and they sent him home with a heart monitor to wear for 24 hours. He is going to the doctor today in hopes of getting a referral to the Heart Clinic. He has not been feeling well lately and we need to get him better soon. The doctor at the ER felt the Heart Clinic was the next step, but would not refer. Mom is going with him and she is a nurse. At least she knows all the medical jargon. Matthew is going to KY this weekend to work on his deer plot. Belle is going to the vet on Thursday to get spade. She is four now and we know we don't want any puppies and I don't want her to come into heat while we are living with my parents. So Cailin, Belle, and I will stay here this weekend. We still have not sold the house in Siloam Springs. The Realtor held an open house on Sunday, and had three people stop in. Does not sound very promising on that one. She is still very hopeful that something will happen soon. We still have not found anything here either. If our house sells, I'm sure we could find something, just not any real motivation right now. Please keep us in your daily prayers that the house sells, we find a house, and we find out what is wrong with Daddy and get him well quickly.

Easter

Yesterday was a much warmer day, so we did most of our egg hunting then.

She was very cute for church this morning. If you look closely, you can see her fat lip. She was pulling her wagon, tripped, and fell onto a rock that cut her top gum and bottom lip.

Busy Week!

This has been a very busy week for us. My oldest niece, Ashley, came down for her spring break. Cailin loves her Ashley. They had a good time playing. Cailin just wants someone to go outside with her. Wednesday, Ashley and I took Cailin to the pediatrician. Keep one thing in mind, we are on hour away from our doctor. Cailin did very well with the new doctor. She was very nice and I'm very pleased with her. Cailin, at two years and 4 days, weighed 32.5 pounds and was 35 3/4 inches tall. She was in the 95% for height and weight and 75% for her head. With all the hair she has, I'm not worried about her head being small. After we left the doctors office, it was off to do shopping. We are also one hour from any shopping other than Wal-Mart. Spring and summer will be here before we know it and I wanted to be prepared. Now Cailin is ready for summer. Ashely left on Thursday, but my sister and my other niece and nephew came. We have had a house full and Cailin has enjoyed them all. Thanks to Aunt Carla, Cailin now has a snow cone machine and loves to eat ice. Matthew has been gone the last few days. He had a business trip to Russellville and then went to our NWA house to check on things. He was able to see some of our friends and pay our house-keeper. To help us out and our teenage neighbor, she goes to the house once or twice a week to dust and wipe off the counters. She has been a big help to us keeping it fresh for any showings we get. They have showed the house several times, but still no bites. I'm hoping that spring will bring out the buyers. Cailin is taking a nap now and Matthew is on his way home. I hope the rest of the weekend is pretty quite. I wish you all a Happy Easter and may God bless you all.

Happy 2nd Birthday Cailin

The Birthday Girl!!

Riding her new tricycle

Everybody loves cake!

2 years ago today. My baby is now a big girl.

With Papa

Hey Papa, Let's go swing

She has to have a hat when she goes out the door with Papa. Isn't she cute!!

Picking flowers

Flowers for Nana

The jonquils are blooming here and Cailin loves to pick flowers. She has been sick all weekend, running a fever. Today is very nice so we got out of the house just for a little while to get some fresh air. Cailin picked the flowers and then give them to Nana (aka: my mom). The Jonquil Festival is the weekend of her birthday (March 14-16) at Old Washington State Park. Hopefully the weather will be nice and there will still be jonquils to see so we can go. You know, every small town has a festival of some sorts around here. The Watermelon Festival is in Hope, the Pine Tree Festival is in Dierks, and the Dinosaur Festival is in Nashville. If you are looking for a reason to come visit, I can find you a festival to attend. Today was the first day that she would get on Papa's tractor. She sure did enjoy it.

Moooo!

Look out the window and you will see what Cailin and Belle are looking at. The window sills are just the right height for Cailin to sit on.

Such a silly girl!!!
This weekend we found a house we think we would like to purchase. We are still waiting for someone to buy ours. They are showing it right now. Matthew is off today, for President's Day. I guess that is one of the perks of working for a lending agency. You get all the government holidays off.
