March...

March was a great month. After all that birthday celebration it was nice to have some calm weekends. Looking back ... I couldn't tell you what we did to fill those weekends but I know they fly by way too fast! More cold weather in March meant a lot more time inside! Unfortunately. The sun is shining now and we are getting our fill but for a while it seemed Spring was never going to come!

Charlie had his "spring break" in March which was a big week for us. Wednesday my mom, Charlie and I packed up the car early and headed to see Grandma Alice in Sedalia. We arrived around lunch time and Charlie did his best to charm each and every senior citizen in that dining room. Smiling and carrying on he loved being the center of attention like always. We spent the afternoon visiting with Grandma Alice (who will be 90 in August) and wheeling up and down the hall on her walker. (Charlie's favorite) I really do love the days we are able to spend in Sedalia with Grandma Alice and wish we were closer so they weren't so few and far between.

My mom stayed with us that night and then Thursday morning she and Charlie set out on another adventure... Charlie's first night away from home without Josh or I. We loaded up the car, I listed out his schedule and they were on their way to Carthage. Charlie did great, Josh and I - on the other hand were questionable at times. As they pulled away Josh said, "I can't wait till Saturday " (when Charlie was scheduled to return home). We made the best of the situation though and did end up enjoying ourselves.

I took those two days off and got a TON done around the house. Finishing up little projects and cleaning out ALL the closets. Felt wonderful! Josh worked.. alot those two days too. But we both managed a little down time with a massage and pedi for me and a round of golf for Josh. We had dinners out both nights at adult restaurants and even saw a movie! First time together in a year and a half! So fun. We cleaned out the garage and did some yard work as well.

Charlie made it home on Saturday afternoon around 3 o'clock and Josh and I took every opportunity until work on Monday morning to spoil him of course. Thanks so much to Grandma and Grandpa Armstrong for our few days off - we love and appreciate you so much! xoxo
