Water Wars

I Took A Screen Shot -- I Have Proof!

It got up to 81 degrees today!!

A Dip In The Lake

Mike bought Rebecca a retractable leash so she could go swimming with Clara in the lake and let's just say she took advantage of it! She definitely seems to like the water! But she would only go in if Clara went in first ;-)

Doggy Therapy

I have been taking Rebecca for walks every day that it's nice out and yesterday decided it was time to re-introduce Rebecca to her doggy cousin Clara and go for a walk to the lake with her. (The first time Rebecca and Clara met it did not go so well, culminating in Rebecca pooping on Mandy's front porch lol.)

So yesterday it went so much better, with Rebecca actually seeming to enjoy herself for at least parts of the walk lol. 

Today we took them out again and Rebecca actually wagged her tail FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER when she saw Clara, and then again at the lake every time Clara would jump in the water Rebecca would wag her tail. (She definitely wanted to jump in but her leash was too short for such antics.) 

When we got home we let them in Mandy's back yard for a little bit and Rebecca actually ran around a little bit and did some more tail wagging!!

Here she is at the lake with me:

Warm Weather

72 and sunny today! The girls were super excited for the warm weather and everyone spent lots of time outdoors! Mental note to self: sunscreen!! Amelia's face got sunburned and my shoulders got sunburned during my 8 mile run this morning! Who knew you needed sunscreen in March??

Here are the girls in their sun dresses (yes I know Amelia's is too short but she has shorts on underneath ;-))

Tummy Bug

Amelia was down for the count today with the tummy bug that seems to be going around. She threw up first thing this morning, miraculously managing to make it to the toilet. ("You threw up in the toilet?! I'm so proud of you!!") 

She spent the day on the couch and although she hasn't thrown up again has been complaining of a tummy ache all day and managed to eat only a few bites of buttered toast and Gatorade today. Hoping she feels better for our nice weather tomorrow!

Low Key Weekend

We had a low key weekend this weekend; just the usual grocery shopping on Saturday and Amelia had a birthday party on Sunday (the first of three in a row that she has coming up.) I did a laborious 7 mile run on Sunday as well and cooked Peruvian chicken and pumpkin custard. 

Here's hoping the week brings some job interviews for Mike in addition to the rumored 75 degree day we're supposed to have on Wednesday...
