Playing catch up

Well believe it or not everyone (except me) got sick AGAIN! This time it was the stomach flu...ugh! Lily got it first last Saturday after waking up from her nap. She had thrown up all over her bed :/ That night we were supposed to go out to a huge 30th birthday party for our friend Kristina, not to mention it was our 6 year wedding anniversary.  When I got home from work around 5:30 we decided we had to cancel our sitter. Rollie being the great amazing fantastic husband & father that he is agreed to stay home and let me go out with our friends.  It was an amazing Great Gatsby themed party. I might have had a little too much fun!

So back to the sick thing. Poor Piper got it by Thursday afternoon and had it pretty bad until Saturday.  I stayed home from work Friday with her and she literally slept all day on me with the exception of a walk in the afternoon. Then it struck Rollie on Friday night/Saturday :/  

A sick baby is quite possibly the saddest thing ever.

Two weekends ago our friends Dina & Nikki were in town for barrel tasting. Sadly we didn't get a chance to go tasting this year because of sick kids and schedules.  We did hang out at night as all day Sunday with them though :)



Dinas going to teach volleyball in Italy next month and then moving to Hawaii!! We will be coming to visit you soon :)

We of course celebrated St patricks day with cute outfits and corned beef.



And we've been enjoying the spring weather.







Here's to a healthy rest of 2015!

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that I grew up with.  Josh passed away instantly from a
