A Wonderful Weekend

I have many many pictures to upload, but here are some from Dad and Jenn. We visited them the first weekend in May and had a wonderful weekend. Look at how my babes are growing. :) In case you were wondering, the little boy in the photo is my brother, Josh.

We're Going On A Picnic

We've had a bit of trouble getting in sync this weekend, which has had a big impact on getting things accomplished (or not). Today has been a different story. We've been productive and we've decided to hit the park. With a few Subway picks, a ball and sunscreen in tow, we're on our way.

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday.

With all due respect, our family is thankful to all of the men and women who lost their lives protecting our country and the freedom we hold so dear.

Waiting Again

I love this thing when I am stuck in a waiting room and I have been in three this week (two for me and one for Nate). I am having a sono on my kidneys and liver. I think they are just covering their bases.

Nate weighed in the other day at 14 lbs and 5 oz. He has started eating cereal and boy does he get excited. I'm so glad the doc sd it was ok because he tracks every bite of food we take. He had his immunizations as well and seems to be doing well after, just a low grade fever.

Well, that didn't take long. This center, new to me, actually took me on time. In fact, they were early! Holy cow! What a concept! Now, I'm off to work.

Ahh Drat!

I was hoping there would be no meds in my future, but that isn't the case. Crap crap crappity crap!

Waiting Room Fun

I'm hanging out at the doctor's office this morning for my month check up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't have to start taking any meds and that my efforts will show in my reading. Although, I was indulgent during my vaca.

This afternoon Nate has his four month check up. I'll be interested to see how much he weighs.

It is beautiful outside here. Enjoy your day!

So Lucky!!

Tonight my children and I were on the playground by the pool house. I was feeding Nate and Syd was playing on the slide. She was just about to go down when some crazy old man ran up the hill, over a young tree and into the tot lot. He was literally three feet from the bottom of the slide Syd was about to go down.

I instantly flipped out, ran to Syd and started yelling at the man who was now trying desperately to get his truck off the playground. This only made me yell louder. I was scared he was going to go flying into the cars that had just pulled up. They had not yet noticed his attempts to move.

After everything settled down and I had a tight grip on Syd, I was able to calm down. I had been pretty nuts. I yelled, "Are you a freaking idiot?" and "Stop, Moron, before you kill someone!" In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't use any foul language. Of course, Syd was calling the man an "idinit" and seemed to think that the man was specifically trying to hurt her.

"Accidents happen sometimes and we are lucky everyone is safe, " I said. I thought the man might be a little apologetic, but not in the least. I suppose I could care less about his apologies. I'm just so thankful we're all safe. It could've gone differently tonight.

Homeward Bound

We're going to start our journey home in just a few short hours. It is always sad when a vaca ends isn't it? We had such a wonderful week!

Thanks Tom and Mom!
