Update

In the past few weeks, we have really stayed busy with Josh's work schedule and my rotation assignments. However, mixed in there we have had some fun and funny moments.

1. Koopa and I get some time alone in the morning to play before I head to work. He enjoys jumping and dancing with me while I get ready.


2. Koopa knocked over his water bowl. He then took a roll of paper towels and shredded it. From there, he laid the pieces on his spilled water. Telling you, he is a genius.


3. My SIL and BIL are in Vegas, so my MIL and niece came over to make cookies yesterday.

Koopa enjoys playing with little ones and I think she enjoyed him too. Now, on a quiet Sunday evening, Koopa and I are watching Casablanca, our latest Netflix pic, while Josh plays a MLB game on the PS3. P.S. Koopa is really a big softy and enjoys a good romance story every now and then, as long as it doesn't feature "The Secret Life of the American Teenager". I even wore him out on the show on Instant Queue. All is good for Koopa and his parents.

Furniture Scramble

So, I rearranged our living room furniture which, has completely confused Koopa. I placed our cedar chest in front of our couch for a make shift coffee table. Koopa has never had an object in front of our furniture, which he is allowed on.

Koopa was laying on our chaise lounger, saw me behind the couch, and acted on impulse. He leaped from the chaise, barely cleared my newly decorated coffee table, and double bounced from the ground up to the couch. He then looked over the back of the couch and gave me a "Hey Mom" grin. He was so proud of himself. I am predicting a hernia in the near future.

P.S. What coffee table books do you own and love? I only have two right now but would love to add to my collection.

All grown up with bills, a puppy, and a favorite pharmacy

The Month of March has further proved that we, Josh and Alyse, are in fact adults.

• Our life insurance premiums came due along with our renters insurance. We rejoiced when our electric bill went down over $100.00 and we mock our water bill. Compared to everything else, that measley $17.00 is a baby bill.
• Koopa had his yearly doctor's visit. He weighed in at 18 lbs, 12 oz and was deemed perfect. He is now big enough to get the every three year rabies shot instead of the yearly shot.
• I realized I have an alliance to my chosen pharmacy. Rite Aid is the bomb and I hope they stay in business.

I am looking for jobs and have a fear of exiting my internship without a job offer. However, Josh sort of took the pressure off of me. If I don't find a job my summer will be open, so we may take a cross country roadtrip that includes eating at places featured on Man vs. Food. Perfect vacation before I sit for the RD Exam. :)

Update!

Well, life has certainly improved in the Woodlee household. I am no longer living in a hotel two nights a week like I did for the previous month. Also, the weather is much more toleratable now.

Josh is in the full swing of digging season, and yes, my mudroom is currently living up to it's name. But, that means Koopa and I have Saturday mornings to play outside and visit friends. We recently went to our friend Tessa's work to visit her and her little girl, Ella. At nine months, Ella is the prime age to like a fluffy puppy. She was very giggly everytime she reached to touch him. I loved seeing how well he did with Miss Ella.

We also went to the ballparks and I let Koopa run and play off leash, which he ate up.

All in all, the Woodlee's are ready for spring!
