{lot's of catching up to do}

  Hello, hello! How are you? I have been reminded from several that my last blog entry was April 9th...yes, I do realize I've been MIA for the past several weeks. So, I'll just give you a little run down of what we've been up to around here lately! Some things fun and some things not so fun....here goes.

 

 

Just as soon as I thought our little family was on the mend from E's UTI, I began to get sick. It wasn't a normal sick though. I will spare you from all the details, but let's just say I've never been so sick in my whole life and pray I never experience anything like it again. After 7 days of being sick to my stomach, I knew it wasn't just a "stomach bug". I was finally able to get into a doctor {which I don't do often}. They ran some tests and a few days later called with the results....I had ECOLI. Whaaaa?!?! By the time I found out the results, my body had already taken care of itself {again, I'll spare you details}. I was finally able to eat normal again last week! Ecoli can be a very scary thing, so I'm grateful it wasn't even worse than it was.

 

I know I'm a little late on this one, but I'm a new Instagram junkie! Maybe it's just me, but I think I like it more than Facebook. Sometimes people share just way to much in my opinion! I love seeing all the fun pics...whether of kiddos, outfits, fresh flowers, home decor, recipes, I'm loving it all! If you don't already see enough pics from me on here ;), you can check our my instagram @jen_dearmore.

I realize we do live in Texas, but we have had the craziest weather lately! We have had some absolutely gorgeous "typical Spring" days and some very not so typical Spring days. They are calling for lows in the 40's here this weekend...hello, we are days away from May! Oh well, I guess I better keep my mouth shut, because before you know it, it'll be in the 100's! We have had some really fun days outside. Ella can't get enough! It is quite a scene trying to bring her back in the house!

 

 



We took Ella's pictures this past weekend and I cannot wait to see all of them! We were able to see a few and absolutely love how they turned out! Little Miss absolutely loved her new boots...I have a feeling these might become a regular addition to her wardrobe! Stay tuned for more pics!

 





I know I'm leaving out lots of fun activities, pictures, etc from the past several weeks, but you get the idea of what we've been up to! It's no joke when they say the days may be long, but the years are so short. I'm loving this stage with Ella and remind myself often to cherish each moment! Wishing you a very happy Monday!
