Grunting

We are watching a little tennis. Katelyn is just playing with her toys, but she started making a funny noise. Can you tell what it is by this short clip?

We finally did...she is imitating the players grunts from TV. Too funny!

We had a fun day yesterday. It was my last free weekday before work starts Monday. The plan was to have a fun day with Kate. We started the day with a visit to Catch Air, a play place up in Marietta. It was awesome. Katelyn clung to me for the most part. After, we grabbed lunch at moe's. Usually Kate eats up moe's, but she had only a few bites. She's been teething so I thought her teeth just hurt her.

We stopped by Grammy and gramps on the way home, where she developed a fever. 102. I took her to the Doc. Ear infection. Then last night we had our ritual Friday night dinners with our neighbors. Katelyn was in a much better mood.

When she went to bed she seemed fine, Just tired. Then she woke up at midnight. With a 104.4 temperature. We gave her Advil and called the nurses line. They suggested a few things to get the temp down. Told us to bring her in tomorrow.

Then she woke up this morning with no fever whatsoever and in a GREAT mood. If the ear infection was causing the high fever I guess the antibiotic finally kicked in. I'm so glad she's better. She's back to being herself.

Here's to my last weekend as a non-worker.

Hooray

I am a few days late on a post I intended to do. I was going to ask for some prayers. I interviewed with a company last week. It was my third interview. This is the 4th company I've had multiple interview with. I had been praying for God to give me a sign when I found the right opportunity.

I was leaving my 3rd interview, feeling really good about the opportunity and thinking it felt like a good fit for me. Then I got my sign. My favorite song right now is Oh Darling by Plug In Stereo (http://youtu.be/M2gwCyh-Y6c). It's rarely on the radio. It was playing as I exited the parking deck after the interview and the line that came on was "if you ask me for my heart, there's no way that I'll say no". I took that as my sign. The next song on the radio was Good Feeling. That's on all the time, so I took that as my confirmation that this move would make me happy.

I got a call from the company yesterday. I GOT AN OFFER!! And I accepted. Who is my new employer? Intercontinental Hotel Group otherwise known here in Atlanta as IHG. The offices are close to where I live. I'll be running their digital media campaigns targeted to business travelers. I've heard great things about working for them, and I can tell my boss is a rock star. I'm looking forward to my first day, this Monday the 30th!

I'm trying to make the most of these last few days off. I've got to dust off my work clothes. Not wearing work out clothes every day will be tough. Mama needs some new shoes and maybe an outfit or two. Time to go shopping :)

Katelyn and I went to the park yesterday to celebrate. We had fun on the playground and swings.

Thanks for all your encouragement and well wishes through this whole process. I'm lucky to have friends and family like you guys.

Yum

I think someone likes her dinner...

Tennis anyone?

Mommy had her first tennis match of the year, and is starting a win streak for 2012. Katelyn seems like she's ready for her first match too.

Fun with a side of sass

Scott and Kate have had quite a bit of fun this morning. I caught some on tape. So, katelyn has developed a sassy way of saying no. It got captured at the end of this video...notice the finger wave.

Chillin on the couch

Kate figured out how to climb up on the couch all by herself this weekend. It caused a lot of time chillin' on the couch, sipping on an "8". (instead of a 40)

The rack

Kate was mommy's sports bra rack this morning. Pretty funny.

Thanks for sleeping until 6:45 this morning Kate!!!

5am snooze

See, same outfit as the 5am wake up picture. This was on the way to school. I think someone was really tired and that must have caused the meltdown. Mommy had to drive around for 30 minutes then finally just parked in the parking lot. A 45 minute nap and she still napped for 2.5 hours that day at nap time.

5am wake up call

Daddy headed to Miami for work today. He asked me to set my alarm for 5:30 as a back-up wake up call. Little did we know Bean was going to handle the wake-up call for us.

5AM!!! Why? Good question. I'm a little scared she is going to get sick while Scott is gone. The change in weather always seems to bring poor health in our household.

This is what a 5am wake up does to her usual jovial "going bye-bye" self...

Although you can't tell in this picture she loves her hat now. At first she couldn't stand it, but now it means we are going on a fun adventure outside of the house.

Where's the beef?

This is what I found at my local target yesterday. See all the refrigerated shelves? Empty... Not a single item.

Why? A power outage overnight. They had to empty the shelves. Crazy, right? That's a first for me.

Video 2

My friend, anderson

We had folks over to watch the Dawgs yesterday (cue the Debbie downer music...tough loss). Katelyn had SO much fun playing with her friend Anderson. He is mommy's friends little boy. Here is a video of some of the fun.

Daddy b-day breakfast

The only thing worse for new years b-day treat eating is when that holiday is on a Sunday. We celebrated yesterday for the most part. We started with breakfast with Tripper and family, aunt holly took this great pic and used a cool app to make it even cooler. Gosh, they sure are a cute pair, aren't they?

Happy birthday Daddy! I hope you enjoyed your 2 day celebration.

Hat #2

Brrrrr

Kate got all bundled up before school today. This was before the last layer, her big insulated windbreaker. Next I'll send a pic of the hatch also tried.

Escalators

Kate's favorite thing to do!!
