a little bit hippy: Just Where Have We Been?!

So, I've been getting a lot of flack for not posting lately. Just why haven't I? By now, most of you know Reagan was in the hospital two weeks ago. We were in there for four days and still trying to catch up on housework, laundry, school work (for me), and did I mention SLEEP?!!? Sleeping in that recliner just didn't get it for big mama. Because, yes, I now officially have a pumpkin hiding under my shirt.

So, besides me catching up on the aforementioned things, Bill has been working on the house. After all, the countdown to the little bambino arrival is getting closer. What will become the baby's room (upstairs), eventually, is completely gutted and insulation is getting hung. This weekend Bill and his dad has been working on the roof. They are adding the addition (a walk-in closet) to what will become Reagan's new bedroom upstairs. I'll be so happy when this remodeling is all finished.

So, now for some pictures...

How do you entertain a 3-yr.old in the hospital?

We spent many hours coloring and using stickers. The rest of the time was spent driving mommy crazy!! :)

Reagan showing everyone her IV. They gave it to her in the ER the first night. She was so brave the first time they stuck her, not a peep or tear! However, the vain didn't work (surprise, surprise red-head's are known for trouble). The second arm gave them trouble and I don't blame her for crying. The two ER nurses felt so horrible they were offering to take her on a shopping trip to Walmart. The big, burly guy nurse came back with stickers and Popsicles.

Visitors

Uncle Jim and Aunt Laney came to town. The original plan had been a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. With an unplanned hospital stay, the trip was cancelled and some snuggle time was substituted.

Uncle Jim and Aunt Laney brought balloons!

Maw-Maw came to visit everyday before work and even got to sneak in during rounds. (my mom works at the same hospital). She brought Reagan a new leopard webkindz.

Renaissance Festival

Last weekend we hit the Renaissance Festival. It was pretty cool to see, but my favorite part of the trip was the shopping trip on the way home :) I would much rather go to craft festivals where I can spend money on the things I use. I don't really need costumes or daggers.

We had lunch at Red Robin, which as Bill said 'why have we waited so long to try this?' It was surprisingly good. For those of you who haven't been there... they specialize in burgers of all kinds. All three of us thought it was yummy.
