I met with Kari today at Cheesecake Factory for lunch!  I am basing my fave 5 on this bloggy meeting …

In no particular order…

1.  Baja Chicken Tacos at Cheesecake Factory!  In a word… YUM!  I heart these things.

2.  Brownie Sundae Cheesecake (which I took home to share… )

3.   Getting to visit face to face and have a fun conversation with a bloggy buddy.  Kari is a really sweet person and I’m glad that the cool bloggy world has let me meet her!  I actually met her back in the Summer and she is losing weight at a crazy fast rate!  Shrinking before my eyes!  I had my camera in my purse but she somehow escaped without a pic…

4.  This cool figurine that Kari brought to me!  Isn’t it beautiful?

5.   This one isn’t really related to today specifically… but have you seen/smelled the paula deen candles at Walmart??? I got a creme brulee candle the other day for under $5 and it smells so wonderful!

I had a freakishly busy day today … and tomorrow is full too!

Izzy slept in her AFO’s all night last night.  I put them on after she was asleep.  She had a great day at school.  Camilla told her to raise her head (she was on her stomach) when she said go and she would count.  Camilla counted all the way to 100 before Izzy laid her head down!  She was very proud of herself.  

It was so cold and really windy today.  When we were taking her out of school we opened the doors and izzy said, “wooooo.”  when the wind hit her.  It was funny!  

Matt asked me out on a date this weekend… to my favorite place even!  

I have plans to meet Kari tomorrow for lunch at Cheesecake Factory!

Lots of good things to look forward to.

Lots of blessings to be thankful for.

Thank you God for all the good things.

I took Izzy to the orthotist yesterday.  She gained five degrees in her feet.  That is right on our goal mark.  The orthotist said that we could hope for 2-3 degrees per week and after two weeks we have five!  She is still only tolerating the afo’s about three hours at a time, but it’s working so that’s good!

Isn’t she adorable in her little hanna andersson outfit!

 I mentioned the doll Emelia and I worked on Sunday afternoon.  Here she is!  She was made from a $1.00 pair of gloves found at Walmart and her dress and bow are a mismatched baby sock we found.  We will probably stitch over the markings for her face.  Emelia wants to make more, now that we know how to do it they should be pretty easy.

Bailey has insisted on having long hair for a couple of years now.  His hair has some natural curl to it and it has gotten harder and harder to fix for school.  He was finally fed up yesterday and asked me to cut it all off.  I couldn’t have been happier as I sprinted for the scissors!  Now I’m off to get some horse supplies. I heart my horse Pinky!
