Update and For Me

Eric is feeling quite a bit better. I would say he is only experiencing a small amount of pain/discomfort from the canker sores that are taking the longest to heal. He has lost a bit of weight. His energy is ever increasing and hopefully will approach normal levels soon. His appetite is regular and he is eating more of a variety of textures and tastes. He is working regular hours and trying to catch up on his vast amounts of work.

In the meantime, I finished a green hat and scarf set, FOR ME!!! Yep, a project that is created for me, made by me, and is actually completed. (Ahem, I designed the scarf pattern to match the hat.) I needed green accessories for the upcoming parades and St. Paddy's Day Birthday celebration. I am now indeed more festive. It is not kelly green, because this green is more suitable to me for winter-round wear with my brown and black down coats. I have taken pictures and will post soon.

However, in the next two weeks, reports and IEP's await with a nasty vengeance. Must be done.

The end of March brings Spring Break, and we all feel the need for a break. We had initially planned a long weekend away in Grand Rapids for a get-away and to see K and her family. Little I received her entrance visa to her feeding clinic that same week, so we have postponed the MI destination for summer time.

We are looking for a place to vacay. Any suggestions for a fun family get away? Here are our requirements:

No airline flights

Ideally 4-9 hours in a car

Need a pool

Hotel with free, hot breakfast is highly preferrable

A few kid-friendly things to do (museums, arboretums, zoos, play places, etc.)

Yummy restaurants
