It is so hard for me to believe that Easter is one weekend away. Anybody doing any fun Easter activities or crafts? Where has the time gone?
Ben got home last Saturday, so we enjoyed lots of time with him over the weekend and then throughout the week. It was nice to have him home again. I think Mikayla enjoyed her daddy time this week as well.
He brought back lots of goodies from the states so we played with those and even ate some too! He was even able to snag a box of our two favorite Girl Scout cookies (Tagalongs and Thin Mints) so we enjoyed those as well.

Sporting her new apron from her Great Aunt Ellen…thanks, she loves it and the goodies that were inside!
On Thursday, Mikayla and I headed into town with some other staff members to pick up my driver’s license (and some other errands for others). I am now an official Swazi driver! More than I can say for Ben! Unfortunately, on the way in Mikayla got sick. She threw up several times and was very lethargic and sleepy for the rest of the day. The unfortunate thing about our situation was we were two hours from home and with other people so we couldn’t exactly turn around and head back. She was a trooper though and curled up on my lap for most of the day sleeping. By the time we got home she had a temperature of 103.6! It dropped quickly as soon as we got some Tylenol into her system. The next couple of days were filled with lots of time on the toilet and very restless nights. Needless to say, we all took a day of rest on Sunday! I am thankful to say she is on the mend and was feeling back to her regular self today!
A silly Mikayla face…love this picture though!
I have mentioned Joe a couple of times, but haven’t posted a picture of him yet. Here he is showing Ben a bottle of Chicago Bourbon he found at a store in town.
Ben and I plan on getting up at 3 am to watch the National Championship Basketball game. It will make for a sleepy day tomorrow, but hopefully it will be well worth our time investment!
