Today's Five

1. My mother in law's gall bladder surgery went smoothly. When I called to check on her the next day, she was out watering her plants.

2. Swimming at the pool with friends this week.

3. Sausage casserole that tastes as good warmed up as it did the first time.

4. Getting to read Mr. Popper's Penguin with Grant. I love that he still likes for me to read to him even though he could read it all himself.

5. It's Friday. Even though all my days seem very similar right now, I'm looking forward to spending sometime with all four of us together.

Summer Reading


I guess this is where he gets all of the advice on how to care for babies he freely offers me.

Random thoughts

*** Today while out running errands, I saw a car drive by with a vanity plate that read "Divrced." That seems like a strange thing to put on a license plate. It make me sad to think about how lightly some people seem to take ending a marriage.

*** Grant finished Star Wars camp today. He came home with a movie they made during the week, a notebook filled with notes on what they done, and two photos. He made a light saber, a catapult, had the chance to eat real bugs (like the ewoks), made a droid, and lots of other fun stuff. The Mcwane Center does cool summer camps. He loved it.

*** I just made Buffalo Chicken dip for tomorrow's family day. I can hardly wait to eat some.

*** Todd cleaned the kitchen- I love that man.

*** Gabe loves listening to music. He seems to especially love Jack Johnson and David Crowder. They get him to stop crying just about every time. He likes Rascal Flatts, too.

*** I hated hearing the news about Tim Russert today. He has always been one of my favorite journalists. What a sad day for his family and friends.

*** The Hylands colic tablets really seem to help my gassy little baby boy. Yea! He seemed a lot happier today.

*** I'm so glad it has rained five days in a row. Everything looks so green and alive.

*** It has been hotter in Massachusetts this week then it has been in Alabama. Interesting!

*** My brother is coming home from Kuwait very soon. I'm so thankful. And I'm thrilled for my sister in law who has been missing him so very much.

Brothers

Everytime Grant talks about his little brother it makes me smile. He's waited a long time to have the title big brother- he does it justice.

Today's Five

It's been a while since I've done one of these posts...

1. Five hours of sleep in a row last night. I feel human this morning.

2. Some of the laundry is folded.

3. Air conditioning- I stepped outside for something this morning at 6am and I thought I was going to melt. I don't love the heat.

4. My maya wrap. Gabe loves being in the sling and when he's happy, we are all happy.:)

5. My precious boys- all three of them.
