Shannon is so excited to go visit her cousins Sam and Alyssa at the end of April. Friday is Alyssa's birthday and Shannon's birthday will follow a week later.
Even though it's only March it feels more like spring lately. Temperatures have been in the 70's and the sun is always shining. Shannon and I enjoy getting out every afternoon to go for a walk or a run. She LOVES her chariot and I'm so happy because I'm getting back into shape. Here's Shannon enjoying her bottle and taking in the beautiful day.
We went out and about on St. Patrick's day, mainly to get me some Zyrtec to help my bouts with hives. Shannon loves going to the store and she won't keep a hat on despite my efforts. She also likes to take her shoes off and throw them but luckily with the new pink sneakers that lace up she can't tug hard enough to get them off.
We got a babysitter on St. Patrick's Day and went out to enjoy music and beer at the local brewery. Yes, that's Erin in the background. The event was kid friendly but ours goes to bed early so we opted to go kid free.
Erin & Grady share everything with Shannon, including viruses. They all had a rough one with high fevers followed by non-stop snot and coughs. Here they are watching March Madness and feeling pitiful. I texted the picture of Shannon to Deborah and she sent me the one of her pitiful crew to me. Basketball made it tolerable for all involoved.
I have an obsession with Pho (traditional Vietnamese noodle soup)and was so happy when Shannon devoured her rice noodles. I guess we'll have to go there more often!
Shannon loves her daddy. When she was sick she didn't want her mommy but just wanted to cuddle with daddy.
She's feeling better now and hopefully she'll have a wonderful first birthday next week.
