April 7th

Last week my mom made a surprise visit to us. We had a lot of fun while she was here. We went to the Children's museum in Indy, we took a tour of the house I always wanted to live in (an old mansion), we went to Pizza King and had the little train deliver our drinks. Vallerie liked that part. We had a movie night at home and watched Frozen. I was really happy my mom came. I know Vallerie liked it too.

Here are some pictures of our adventures:

Carousel time (we went on it about 6 times)

More carousel fun!

After Vallerie got hit in the eye with a hula hoop.

Digging in mulch. She filled the whole bucket herself.

Trains!

Pizza time

I applied for a new position at work. It's pretty much the same position I applied for last year. Hopefully I at least get an interview. I haven't heard anything yet.

I've been helping out with some other duties at work. They were short staffed in one dept, and asked me to help fill in. One of my coworkers (a manager) told me that in a meeting they had, I was the only one who had consistently finished the tasks I was assigned. Yay for me.

On Saturday Vallerie went on a bike ride. As we were headed home some kids saw Zooka and wanted to pet her. So we stopped. One of the kids was a little girl who is Vallerie's age. She wanted to talk to Vallerie. So they talked and then another little girl from across the street came over (also Vallerie's age) So we're just chatting away with these kids and their parents. Well, after a few minutes the girls want to all ride bikes. So we all walked a few blocks with the kids. It was pretty weird. Eddie and I aren't really social people anymore, so we probably came off as a little weird. Everyone we met seemed nice though. Hopefully Vallerie will play with them again soon. She seemed to have a great time.

We went to the park yesterday to play fetch with Zooka. She got tired quickly. Vallerie played on the playground. It was a good time.

Eddie is sick. Hopefully he feels better soon. That's about all I can remember for now...
