Wow, the last time that I wrote was back on December 30th, I think. We have been super busy the last few months, but it's been fun busy.
This past week the kids had a "staycation" with Mimi and Poppy. I needed to make-up a few days from work because of the kiddos having the tummy bug a few days apart from each other; which meant me missing 2 days of work. Sadie got sick Christmas night and Zachary got sick a few days after that. Zachary went with Les Christmas night to go deer hunting; this might just become a new tradition for the guys!! :) Sadie and I had stayed home together playing with some of her new toys from Christmas. We had fun; until she threw up on my legs!!! HA!
The kids had a great week!!! They went to the Perot Museum, went swimming, went to the Dallas Zoo (and came home with some fun souvenir's). Les and I went hiking on Wednesday together through the Caddo Grasslands. We had a fun time just being together and being able to spend the day together minus the munchkins. We ended up hiking around 6 miles and we were out there for 6 hours!
Today, our female cat was spayed. To our surprise, she was pregnant and they terminated the pregnancy and spayed her. It was really hard on me, but I'm doing much better this evening. She's recovering and Jet, the male cat (her brother), has not left her side. Even though she's in a cage; he's laying by her on a mat that we have in the garage. Since she was pregnant; her surgery was more involved and she came home with staples. So, we have to watch her and keep her "locked up" for 2 weeks or so. She goes in in a few weeks to have the staples removed. I know she'll be happy about that - sure glad that I don't have to hold her down to have it done. She has some sharp claws. They didn't trim her claws since she's an outdoor cat who lives in the country. She needs to be able to protect herself.
Sadie's 3rd birthday is in 4 days and Zachary's 5th birthday is in 11 days. I just can't believe that they're growing up so fast. They're doing great and getting a long pretty well most days. They have their moments of being sweet and being mean to each other. :)
Hope you're all doing well - till the next blog!!!!
