What's New

Lots has been happening at the Nien"house" lately...

• Headliner: Jack is riding a 2-wheeler, No training wheels!! Not only can he ride a bike now, he learned it instantly. We took off the training wheels, and off he went. And not only did he learn it instantly, he continued to buzz around the school parking lot as though he had been riding for years, even trying to do wheelies!!
• Accident Report: Grindey is hurt. They other day, she went outside and was fine. She came back in limping, not putting pressure on her back left hind leg. We have no idea what she did. The vet doesn't think it's broken, it may be her hips. Her pain medication doesn't seem to helping. We are currently looking into pet insurance for our Gimpey Grindey.
• Health: I brought Elle to the chiropractor to see if there was anything they could do for her ear infections. I'm sick of putting her on anti-biotics. Instead, we found out, through Xrays, that she has the beginnings of scoliosis, her spine is already curved. I was sick to my stomach. Hopefully, we can help her out now so she doesn't have to suffer later.
• Weather: Sucky. Up here in northern Wisconsin, there is no other word. We woke up, yet again, to another winterwonderland. It's beautiful, but NOT in April.
• Home and Garden: Elle's Room, AKA the guest room, is being painted and redecorated. The base coat has been finished, but the stripes still need to go on the walls. You must come and stay sometime, you will get to sleep in this adorable room! :o) As for the garden, I'm so lost as to how to even begin the spring clean-up in my new landscaping. Need Help. Will offer food and a place to sleep!! :o)
• Travel: Vegas, Baby. Thaaaaaat's right. After a one year sabatical from our yearly vacation without kids, we have made plans to return to one of our favorite places, Las Vegas. We won't be making this much needed trek until September, but it's fun to have something to look forward to.
