Celebrating Life and Health

I've stayed busy all day, cleaning the house, (with the windows wide open!) doing laundry, raking (more) leaves, planting seeds for our garden, playing with the kids and baking bread. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to be healthy once again and full of energy!
We had a great weekend celebrating Juliana's second birthday and spending time at parks downtown enjoying the weather.


We had a wonderful visit with Maggie, Auntie Krista and Uncle Michael, who all came up from Savannah, as well!

Juliana was beside herself over the presents and cupcakes and was so sweet with all of her "thank you's" (which by the way, were not even prompted by me!).

What made the event even more meaningful was to have Pete present via SKYPE on the computer! We also got Juliana's hair cut for the first time on Friday and she did a fantastic job sitting still.


We are really looking forward to Pete's return home this week! Finally, once again, we can start living as a whole family again!

Happy Birthday, Juliana! Those cupcakes look scrumptious, and I am so jealous of the nice weather you are having there. It looks like you had a great (but chilly) trip to MO. I bet it feels good to be back home.
