March 7-13, 2021

March is never a fun month to me. It’s cold and rainy and sometimes we get a huge snow storm. There are no holidays or vacation and it can drag on and on. Which makes finding some joy and fun all that more important.

Sunday Becky went for a walk with Beth and Cloey as usual. I met up with a friend and we went for a 6 mile walk. In 90 minutes! I was toast after that. 

Lazy day for Ally. 

Monday I made Ally a sampler lunch

She got back into bullet journaling.

And enjoyed gaming this week.

Ally has been feeling ill the past couple of weeks. She’s had a low grade fever since March 1 which has her feeling crummy a lot. We contacted her pediatrician on Monday and made an appointment for her to go in on Wednesday.

Grandma Debbie got her 1st vaccine shot! 

Tuesday Ally got the news she was accepted to CHCH for high school. She was and is still very excited!

On Tuesday she also had an orthodontist appointment and found out her teeth are very cooperative. The orthodontist called me to say he thinks she will be ready for braces off in June! 

That is months earlier than we had hoped. That called for a fro yo celebration, especially since her favorite shop just reopened. 

Late night email congrats from her new high school.

Wednesday was the doctors appointment. Strep test and blood test. After the doctor it was time to open the Fab Fit Fun box.

Such a fun package.

Becky relaxed with Cloey.

Thursday poppy had surgery, which went really well and since the weather was so nice Beth came over and she and Becky went for a walk.

Friday morning Ally woke up feeling really crummy with a bad headache. She stayed home from school. 

Which always makes her pets happy to have her around more.

Since she was home, Ally and I worked on a puzzle.

Actually we completed the puzzle in about 90 minutes. It was fun. 

Cloey sacked out.





And snuggled with Ally while she played PS5.

Friday night Becky went to Beth’s for dinner and Ally and I hung out and watched a movie. When Becky got home she and Ally played some PS5 before bed. 

We also heard from the doctor. Good news is Ally does not have strep or mono. And her blood tests looked pretty normal. Bad news is they don’t know what is causing her low grade fever. We are going to wait a few days and hope Ally feels better and if not we will reach out to our pediatrician again and they will run some more tests. 

On Saturday Ally went to a doggie play date with her teammates. 

7 girls and 7 dogs:

Mia+Piper, Stella+Pippi, Eli+Churro, Dahlia+Zadie, Autumn+Talulah, Mari+Delilah and Ally+Cloey

Tululah and Delilah are both Autumn’s dogs but since Mari only has a pet bunny she posed with black lab puppy Delilah. 

Becky and Ally both said it was a fun get together.
