Moving On Up

After our playdate on Friday something wonderful was waiting by our front door...The Step 2 Four Seasons Playhouse! This may not seem exciting to anyone else but I was SO happy! It was like Christmas. I've wanted this for Caroline for so long. Even though my mom is so sick she still manages to pull off great surprises. I had no idea that it was coming for her! We waited until Saturday morning to put it together.
Caroline fueled up on a waffle breakfast for the big build...

Then she got to work with her daddy...

After it was built, she spent the whole rest of the day walking in and out of the door, ringing the doorbell, and showing her babies her new place...

We also looked for a gym to join this weekend but, of course, the search gave us sticker shock as much as everything else does in Marin County. Yikes! We're weighing our options but looks like we're definitely not in Kansas anymore. Hopefully we can make something work with our budget because this mama is going to need some serious post baby body help!

We relaxed both nights by watching two cute movies...

Both were so much cuter than I had expected. I really liked them both. 

We video chatted briefly with my parents tonight though my mom only stopped by the screen for a second. The chemo is definitely taking a toll on her and she is exhausted and embarrassed by how she looks, especially from her hair loss, which is heartbreaking. She is beautiful. Fortunately she is able to buy head scarves, wigs, etc. but there are many women who have cancer and no additional funds to buy these simple items that can make them feel much better about themselves. Because of this I looked into donating my hair. I'm thinking about going with Pantenes Great Lengths program which donates to women in need who have lost their hair to cancer. It will take awhile for it to grow long enough but it will be worthwhile in the end. 

Clint has a week break from school so we're looking forward to some fun plans!
