Oliver and Emily Jozwiak: Easter

It has been a fun Easter weekend!! On Friday morning we went to a local egg hunt. It wasn't great but Oliver had fun despite the fact it was freezing!!! We went to a coffee shop afterwards to get warm :) On Saturday morning we went over to Grandpa Ray's and Grandma Sandy's. They set up a little egg hunt in their basement. Even Emily got the hang of picking the eggs up and putting them in her basket! The kids and Jon stayed there for lunch while I went off to work. Today the weather has been much better so we took Scoop to the off lead area for a run this morning and then had some time at the playground before dinner. We even managed to get a little weeding done in the garden :) The Easter bunny was very good to the kids and Oliver is loving all his chocolate and presents! Emily does not seem to be a fan of sweets of any kind but I'm sure she'll get some help eating them if needs be ;)

I went to Oliver's parent/teacher conference last week and he is doing really well. He seems to excel at maths and science activities which is great and a lot of the fears he used to have at home have gone or are going. He is a much more sociable child and enjoys his time at school.

We have had a rough week with Scoop being pretty sick. In the end she was diagnosed with pancreatitis which is a severe gastrointestinal illness. She wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 24 hours and we are now slowly building her food back up. She is doing better but still not quite herself and she seems to have some weird bumps all over her which may be an allergy - something I need to phone the vet about. We just hope she is well enough for her (and our) holiday - she is off to kennels on Friday whilst we are off to Buffalo, NY for a week. I will update again once we get back.
