Time is just flying by! Brynnlee is getting so big quickly! Tomorrow she will get her second flu shot; hopefully it doesn’t bother her. I don’t want her to be cranky on Jeff’s birthday!
Last night I went to bed and accidentally woke Brynnlee up. I heard her rustling and making noise, but the noise seemed weird. So I picked up my phone and used the light from my screen to check on her. I’m glad I did because she was sitting on her knees and holding onto the edge of her pack n play staring at me. Needless to say I instantly moved the mattress down to the lower level. I tried to lay her back down, but she was wide awake. We played for a bit and then I tried again and soon after she fell asleep.
Jeff went back to his 2-10 shift last night, well he is working 2-12 this week. He will no longer have holidays off, and will need to put in vacation time if he wants them off. He has 4 week of vacation this year because he won an extra week vacation at work for being on the fire department. And next week he will get 4 weeks because in October he will have worked there for 7 years. I know that he hates working at Northstar, but it has definitely helped us tremendously. I am hoping that soon he can find another job that he is happy in. I know that it’s not what he wants to do, but the economy hasn’t helped the situation at all. I just keep praying and hoping that I can find a teaching job, and that Jeff can work part-time and work on his education. It’s frustrating to know that neither of us likes our jobs, but I do appreciate that we have jobs and are able to keep above water.
This past weekend we went up to Munising to spend Easter with Nana & Papa. The first two days were rainy and gloomy, but the last two days lightened up. It was hard to leave on Monday because the weather was gorgeous. We headed to Sand Point and spent some time on the beach. Brynnlee played in the sand and watched the dogs play in the water. Jeff and I sat with her and were just amazed watching her. She just enjoyed playing and enjoying the view. It was awesome to share the beautiful sights with her. The dogs had a lot of fun as well. Jeff threw their ball and they chased it down the beach and even into the lake. Our puppies are crazy, but we love them! Gretta has a little concerned though. She has been losing weight, but while we were away we fed her bread daily and of course both dogs ate a million of Papa’s homemade dog treats! She seems to have gained a little weight back, but I am taking her to the vet tomorrow to have her checked. I’m hoping that a basic check will show nothing wrong! We did have a problem with her eating diapers for awhile. Finally we learned to remember to throw diapers away instantly and to make sure the garbage is locked up when we are gone and during the night. I’m afraid the materials in the diaper made her sick. She’s not quite the dog she was a month ago, she is no longer jumping up to put her paws on our shoulders. I’m wondering if that’s just because she is almost 7 years, or maybe is she is getting arthritis. Hopefully we will have some positive answers soon. After playing on the beach we headed to Munising Falls. Part of the waterfall was still frozen, and it was so neat to see. We haven’t been to the falls together in April before.
