Juliet’s Happenings

allie • October 13, 2012

Although I’ve realized that neither Juliet or I have stepped outside our front door since we came home Tuesday, we fit quite a bit into our days.  This morning it started out with a sun bath…

Jules started to get a little yellow so we are trying to get that vitamin D working in her favor.  I must say, she loved being perched on her little throne sitting in the warm sun.

After that the nurse came to visit and check her heart and lungs.  She sounded good.  Her breaths are a bit shallower and faster, but other than that we all got to listen to her heart pumping away.  The nurse also hooked us up with some oxygen that we can use to keep her comfortable.  We just set the nose insert on her blanket.  So far so good:)  We also got a billy blanket to use, we haven’t put our glow worm in it yet.

After that mom and Jules took a tubby.  She loved it.  I put her on me with a wash rag over her and then kept pouring warm water on the rag.  She would just sigh every once in awhile.  She was so content.  These are priceless memories for me.  I could’ve stayed in there all night with her.

After that we spent a good long while snuggling..(oh wait, we do that all day:)  and then made it to Jule’s favorite spot.  It just so happens to be mine as well!

To top off the day we got some beautiful flowers!!  Thanks so much Rydbergs and Ness’s!  They helped to celebrate Jule’s 4th birth day.

Tate says now she’s as old as he is:)  Happy 4th day sweet Jules!  We love you to pieces!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
