Happy Happy Kids

We came home to Birmingham this weekend. The kids got their pictures made on Saturday. I will post a link when I get one. :) They got to visit with Paw Paw & My Sherry on Saturday evening. Chris & I took Jake to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs on Saturday night. Sunday we went to the McWane Center as a family. The kids got to visit with Mimi & Big Daddy on Sunday evening. When Sarah got home I noticed that she felt a little warm, but didn't think much of it. She woke up Sunday in the middle of the night with a fever! It is now Wednesday and she still has it! Nasal congestion too. It is pitiful! She just cries and cries. The doctor says that it is just viral. Monday we drove back to Fairhope, but stopped by to visit Granma & Grandpa on the way to I65. I stayed home with Sarah yesterday as she was just too sick for me to leave her. Chris mom stayed home with her today. Poor little thing! Prayers for Sarah please!!

My 30th Birthday!

As promised, details about my 30th birthday. I already mentioned that we spent the weekend before my birthday at the beach. The kids came back to Birmingham with Chris on Sunday. I drove to Birmingham on Monday after working part of the day. We went to dinner with my Dad & Sherry Monday night. I spent the night at our house in Birmingham on Monday night and when I woke up Tuesday morning there were flamingoes all over the yard!! They were everywhere! In the trees, the bushes, everywhere! Funny Dad- you got me! Just wait I think someone is going to be 60 in the near future... I drove to Prattville for training on Tuesday. When I got there, they had streamers and balloons all over the place. They even had me a cupcake cake. I don't even know these people!! It was so nice!! All in all I would say it was a pretty good birthday.

Busy Week!!

Well, hello everyone!!! The Dean family had a very busy week this week!! First of all, we began last weekend with a trip to the beach with Mimi, Big Daddy, Emily, & Blane for my 30th birthday!!! (There will be a separate post on the topic of my birthday.) I had to travel to Prattville for work this week so, the kiddos went home with Daddy after the beach. While they were in Birmingham, they got to visit with Paw Paw, My Sherry, Mimi, Big Daddy, Grandmama and Grandpapa. As Jake says, he and Sarah went on "baycation." I also got to see my Jack Henry peeps on Monday- it was great! Miss & love you guys very much!! We traveled back to South Alabama as a family on Thursday evening. We have a family wedding tomorrow! We are so busy!!
