Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down 2013 #2

Up:

  • Downton Abby premiered on Sunday. I've been waiting so long for this season to premier! It was a fabulous 2 hour show. It didn't start until 9pm here, but you can bet I stayed up for every minute of it. I was perturbed that in the middle of the second half the local PBS station decided to to a 'test of the emergency broadcast system' - ugh! Luckily it wasn't in a critical part! I'm also bummed because the news reported that the actor that plays Matthew Crawley will not be in the next season, total spoiler alert, thanks guys!
  • Short work weeks are the best. Last week the week was short with New Year's and this week Mike has leave Thursday through Sunday - yea!
  • On Saturday Mike celebrated his 32nd birthday. So far he hasn't let the 30s slow him down at all. Hopefully this will be another great year for him! Kennedy loved celebrating Daddy's birthday too! She dug right into his cake!
Down:
  • I don't think I was intended to be a snow bunny! I'm not much of a fan of all this snow we've been receiving lately. I don't mind snow here or there, but I like when the sun comes out, melts it away and we can go back out an play! That doesn't seem to be the plan for this winter in Idaho. Thankfully this should be our last winter here.
  • With yucky weather comes yucky sickness. On Saturday both kids, but especially Jackson, were just awful because they didn't feel good. We've all had a cold over two weeks and counting. On Sunday took them into the Urgent Care Center. Sure enough, both kids had ear infections. They seem to be feeling much better now. Hopefully we're all on the mend.
  • Sorry no pictures this week!
Favorite Thing:
If you haven't gone to see Les Miserables yet, you need to go out immediately and see it! It is so good. Mike's uncle, David Gaschen, has sung many songs on and off broadway. In the summer of 2011 while Mike was deployed, Uncle Dave sang 'Bring Him Home' dedicated to Mike at the family reunion. I had to share it with everyone - I was sobbing by the end of it. He sings it so well, here is the link:
