We started the day with an early morning egg hunt for Sam, then did some yard and pool work, took a long walk and then worked out.  Then we totally ate back all of the calories we burned with a scallop and wine dinner.  </p> <p>I thought a lot about our families today…just how lucky we are to both have such loving and generous people in our lives.  The rest of our weekend was spent at Sam’s soccer game, my brother’s soccer game, dyeing eggs and hanging out with my grandparents (they came to visit from Big Spring). The weekend was bittersweet too, last week my grandpa (I know, I have a lot of grandparents!) was transferred to hospice and I spent some time visiting with him.  I know he is ready to go and be reunited with my grandma, he just has not been the same since she passed in November.   I will miss him dearly, but I hope he finds peace quickly.  </p> <p>Anyway, I hope each of you had a great Easter doing exactly what you wanted to do. </p> <ol><li>gerbera daisies </li> <li>my family at Sam’s game </li> <li>more soccer with my bros</li> <li>coloring eggs with GD </li> <li>Sam checking out what the bunny left him, complete with blue teeth from eating Peeps at 7am</li> <li>Texas wine</li> <li>dinner</li> </ol>http://happyheartkris.tumblr.com/post/46810566192http://happyheartkris.tumblr.com/post/46810566192Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:46:21 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/304e2a8e9d81afe23136ef4df4a4d78a/tumblr_mjlv01opAD1qgidvjo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fe21b714fdc5006d5e89315487432a5b/tumblr_mjlv01opAD1qgidvjo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/da55a073f317aa82058b96b505bb342e/tumblr_mjlv01opAD1qgidvjo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3cfd37c6410a3c04a6544ed20fa8342c/tumblr_mjlv01opAD1qgidvjo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0283af975dc35e5d0cbb164a43a0814d/tumblr_mjlv01opAD1qgidvjo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/88cd2a2dc295297fadecf31c397cba3b/tumblr_mjlv01opAD1qgidvjo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>A few from our spring break…</p> <ul><li>visiting great-grandpa</li> <li>eating at the bagel shop</li> <li>polishing his “jewels” that he got from the Innerspace Caverns (a trip he took with dad and co.)</li> <li>making muffins</li> <li>Sam, my mom and brother all trying to figure out a game</li> <li>Sam helping uncle Matt clean their pool </li> </ul><p>I wrote this post a few weeks ago, then forgot all about it.  I seriously have not been on here in so long.  The spring semester is sooo busy!  Nine more weeks, then sweet summertime! </p>http://happyheartkris.tumblr.com/post/46291246827http://happyheartkris.tumblr.com/post/46291246827Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:37:22 -0400<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/10e6855ffc86bf4d38c2ec92405f7a08/tumblr_inline_mjlucrsOol1qfkq4y.gif"/></p> <p>GPOY after a week of this&#8230;</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/f22660ddc557a57c405923a128e1fbdf/tumblr_inline_mjlue32zeS1qfkq4y.jpg"/></p> <p>Seriously.  Today is the first day that we all feel great.  Garrett is off today and the rest of the week AND we all slept in past 8:00.  It&#8217;s going to be a great day y&#8217;all!  </p> <p>Poor Sam got sick last Saturday and was sick through Wednesday.  He got the worst stomach bug I have ever seen, plus an ear infection.  We seriously could not clean up the throw up fast enough.  He finally just laid down on the bathroom rug while we were cleaning his sheets and fell asleep there.  He was done.  Then of course I caught it, plus a terrible sinus infection.  My head felt like it was going to explode.  </p> <p>Many doctor visits and medications later, we are on the mend and ready to enjoy this beautiful Spring Break weather!
