Beating Stress

It has been a busy and sometimes stressful week...and it is only Wednesday!!  So what do you do when you want to leave everything behind for a few hours?  Apparently when you are the Douglas parents you tell your children you are going on a little ride.  You put everybody in the car and you head to Indianapolis.  When your children make guesses as to where you are going, you don't give them answers.  Then you pull into the Monkey Joe's parking lot and you spend hours jumping around!!
This was Myla's first jumping experience and she loved it!!  She wasn't sure at first, but by then end of our time she was a seasoned pro and wanted to stay longer!!!  We all had a GREAT TIME!
In other news, Grandma Doris made a beautiful quilt for mommy and daddy and I really love it, too!  Mommy let me sleep under it on her bed while daddy was working.  Upward Sunday was this past weekend and I got to cheer during the service!  I did a really good job and had a fun time!!  Mommy can sure tell that I am loving cheerleading this year!

Four Friends

We're borrowing this picture from Aunt Sara to show you what happened yesterday!  We got to see our cousins, Evan and Levi.  It felt like it had been forever since we'd all been together.  Thanks to President's Day we were able to all go to Granny's house for some quality time together!

Be Our Valentine!

The last week or so has gone by so quickly and I am just realizing that we need to give an update!  Miss Myla had a routine doctor visit this week.  She did a really great job and was all smiles because no shots were required this time!  I am happy to report she is 29 lbs and 34.75 inches long!  She keeps growing and getting funnier!  I've heard the word "rotten" used many times in reference to her because she likes to keep us on our toes!!
Last week was a big week for me!!  It was my special day at school (my 1/2 birthday) so mommy, daddy and Myla all came and brought snacks to my class.  I got to wear a birthday crown and blow out a candle!  I started swimming Thursday night again.  I began level 2 and did a really great job according to mommy.  I am starting to push off the wall with my head in the water and I did lots of floating on my own.  I have a new instructor who is really nice!  I also have cheerleading on Thursday nights so I slept really well that night!  Daddy told mommy that I slept until after 10:00am on Friday morning!
Today after church daddy took me to my very first Ball State Women's Basketball game.  I had a really great time watching the cheerleaders and dancers, meeting Charlie Cardinal and playing in the bounce house!!  Myla had to take a nap, so me and daddy went on a date together to the game.  It was great!
We are gearing up for another big week so it is time for bed!
