February

Since the month of February has passed, and I haven't blogged since early in the month. I will try to catch those of you who are still with me up on some events in our lives.

Let me see. The weekend of the 9th, we did go out for dinner and a movie. Only to return to the rest of the weekend filled with "Night Terrors." Yes, we think it was triggered by us leaving and lack of sleep. They lasted for about three days and ended after we sat down with Cullen and discussed with him again why we left him that night. No, we did not leave him with the dogs. He was with a very capable young lady. He just didn't like the fact that we went somewhere, and he had to stay home. As a matter of fact our conversation went something like this:
Brent says,"Cullen, we went off to go shopping for your Valentine's present."
Cullen recants, "No, you didn't. You went to Pappadeaux's."
Anyway, he now forgives the fact that we went out. This is what happens when you never go anywhere without your child.

Saturday the 10th, PawPaw came to visit for Brent's belated Birthday. It was nice. We went to eat at Carrabba's and showed him a few houses we have been considering.

Valentine's Day was quite. Cullen got lots of candy and a few toys. Thanks for all the candy and presents everyone! He loves them.

MiMi flew in on the 15th. Brent and Cullen went to meet her at the airport. We enjoyed her visit. Cullen loved having MiMi at his house. While she was here we went shopping, visited NaNa, visited Aunt Toni and Uncle Roger, and ate a lot of food. She went back home on the 20th.

As you may know we have been house hunting. It has been a long process. We have looked, looked, and looked somemore over the past few months. We have gone back and forth. We have found "The House", but it is to far away from everything and in the wrong type of neighborhood (houses on top of each other). In our search we have found other homes we have liked but haven't made up our minds which route to take.

Just a few days ago, we found a house that is a possible home/investment for us. We put in an offer on it, and now are in the waiting process. It will not be a disappointment if we don't get it because we are looking at it as more of an investment/starter. We've decided to try this and later build "The House" we want. So, here we go on another adventure in the Estes Home.

If we get this house, we will need help painting and laying carpet. So, if anyone would like to help we will definitely take you up on it.

We have been busy! I'll try to get better at blogging. I say this but never seem to get better. Hope everyone's February was grand!

Birthday Flu...

I didn't forget Brent's birthday this year. We had cake, presents, and the flu.
Cullen has been very sick, since last Thursday night. Things like coughing, high fever, runny nose, body aches, and did I mention high fever? Brent and I alternated days to stay home with him. Fever broke on Wednesday morning around 2:30! He went back to school today, and we went to work. He is still not 100%, but he is fever free. Maybe this weekend, we can do a little birthday celebrating with dinner and a movie.

Funny

Funny things said over the past few weeks.

"Cullen, way to use your brain."
"I don't have a brain."

*********************************************************************
Brent asks,"How old do you think Daddy is?"
Cullen answers,"You're 5."
Brent, " No, I'm older."
Cullen, "You're 7."
Brent, "No, how much do you weigh?"
Cullen, "30 lbs."
Brent, "Daddy will be 31."
Cullen, "Firtie-one, oh!"

**********************************************************************

Cullen, "Daddy, what do you want for your birthday?
Brent, "I don't know. What should I ask for?"
Cullen, "Dinosaur bones..."

**********************************************************************

Cullen has a new statement, question (positive, reassurance) way of speaking. It goes something like this.

I ate my dinner. Did I?

I am a big boy. Am I?

You gave me a kiss. Did you?

You are silly. Are you?

Daddy is driving. Is he?

Mommy, I smell something. Do I?

I am smart. Am I?

Daddy is at work. Is he?

Every statement followed by a question of affirmation to his statement.
