Jillian and Athena

What a month it has been! Jeremy traveled like crazy through February and the beginning of March. It was like the old days again and made us appreciate our new "normal" of him not traveling quite so much anymore. While he was gone, Jillian or I or both were sick with something (cold, flu, fever, migraine) every single week. I'm sure my boss also appreciates that Jeremy is home now and can share in the fun of missing work to stay home with a sick kid.

For Valentine's Day we decided to have Athena shaved. It may be hard to see, but she was beautiful - soft and smooth and shiny. And no shedding...for the first two weeks anyway. :)

Jillian is using one of those doggy tooth wipes to clean Athena's teeth. Athena is such a good sport!

A while back the police visited Jillian's school. The children got to see a police car, hear the sirens and the PA system and even sit in the back seat. Ever since that fun-fun day, Jillian wants to call the police for everything. She told me she wanted to call the police and have them trade Athena for a kitty. That is her new thing...she wants a kitty. Too bad Athena eats cats. On Valentine's Day, Jillian opened her presents and wanted to eat all the candy by 9am. We were like, I don't think so! So she called the police to come and take us away (so she could eat all her V-Day candy without interference)...she stood at the open front door and yelled through the screen "POLICE! POLICE!" Oh yes, she really, really did. It cracked me up...and then I thought it may not sound too good to anyone passing by to hear a child yelling for the cops.
