Gone But Never Forgotten

This week was marked by lots of firsts from our family....

It started out with Brysen's 1st St. Patrick's Day, but unfortunetly ended with the 1st death of a Grandparent of mine.... My Grandpa Boeke is now watching over us from Heaven free of oxygen cords and suffering!  It is humbling to know but also very hard to deal with... I feel very privelaged to be able to have so many great memories with every one of my Grandparents as I know a lot of Grandchildren don't ever get that privelage!  I would also like to send my sincere gratitude to everyone for all the kind words, visits, cards, meals and phone calls!  My family is overwhelmed!!    See ya Later, Grandpa!!  You will be GREATLY missed by so many!!

This week also marked our 1st walk of the year!  We were joined by Jill and little Emma... Emma and Brysen loved the fresh air and both of them even fell asleep!

I also attended my 1st Sugarland Concert last night!  A group of 6 girls started the afternoon off with a little shopping, supper at The Outback and then the concert... I haven't been to many concerts but this was by far the best one so far... We didn't sit down the entire time!  Thanks Ladies for a much needed fun night out!!

We continue to pray for everyone affected by the devastation in Japan.... My cousin Chad got to fly home from Korea for the Funeral and said the damage is worse than could be imagined.

Well I better sign off, I have a husband with the stomach flu, a baby ready for bed and a house that has been ignored for 4 days!  Goodnight all!

Our Week!

Well it's been a busy week in the Loerts' household!  Brian got back from Tampa on Saturday evening and then Kim and Cody came over to visit... They are expecting their first baby in August!  We're so happy for them and can't wait for our future playdates:)   I worked nights and woke up to the kiddie jail aka playpen set up!  Surprisingly Brian said Brysen didn't mind it a bit and Brian was actually able to get a few things done with him in there!

We helped celebrate Blake's 3rd Birthday on Sunday night and also my aunt Sandy's 50th! Brysen also managed to scratch my Cornea (eye) so that made for an interesting night at work.

Brian bought something on Craigslist (imagine that!) so Thursday we made a dashing trip up to the cities to pick it up and still managed to have time to go to the outlet mall, of course:)   I have wanted a Coach purse forever and finally got one!  I think I had every one of them in the store on my shoulder before finally deciding:)                                                     Here's it is!!

We have a birthday party tonight so Brysen will get to go to Gma and Gpa Loerts' for the evening!  Then tomorrow don't forget to set your clocks ahead!!   Looking forward to some extra daylight, that's for sure!

Brysen's 1st Haircut!

I went and got my hair cut and colored yesterday and talked Jill into cutting Brysen's hair for the first time also!  She didn't think it needed it, but it was starting to fall over his ears and curl a lot too:)     He didn't cooperate the best as he was too busy wanting to check everything out, but looks oh so handsome now!  

Brian left for Tampa this morning:(    He said it's 80 degrees there!  I went to work this morning but got a call from Daycare around 11 that Brysen had a temp of 102.5. I went and got him and he was "burning up". No cough or runny nose though so hopefully it leaves as quickly as it came!  He's spent most of the afternoon just sleeping and cuddling with his mama:)
