Memorial Day 2008

We started off our memorial day with a picnic. We tried to go to School House Park but it was jammed packed. There must have been a reunion going on or something so we ended up at Stubbs park and unfortunantly the bees had taken over the picnic benches. So we enjoyed our lunch on a side bench.

Next we headed for the pool. Paul and I did not get in cause it was freezing. There were suppose to be strong thunder showers that day, but we did not get them. Collin of course did not swim either. I let him soak up a little bit of sun and I think it helped his sleep cycle cause he slept quite a bit there. Maybe that is what he needs to get sleeping better, out in a little bit of sun everyday!

Fun days

We joined the Boonshoft! The kids are at a great age where they can really enjoy this. And I really think that they enjoyed putting me in jail. I had no hope since Paul was my prosecutor, Nadalie and Matthew were my jurors and Rachel was the judge who sentenced me to 30 days :)

Swimming expert

Nadalie has joined the swim team this summer.

Last Day of Brownies

Nadalie will not be a brownie any more she has moved on to a Junior. She said that she does want to continue on with girl scouts next year. So get ready to buy more cookies from us everyone :)

Poetry Reading

I went to Nadalie's school today for a poetry reading. It was alot of fun. She really did a great job. She had the job of putting the pictures of each poem up on the overhead plus she had two poems that she had totally memorized. Only a few parents were able to come and I sure feel blessed that I am able to be home with the kids so I can go to some of these fun things. I dearly love Nadalie's teacher. She has had her for two years now cause she is a "looping" teacher. I think that Rachel will be unable to have her cause she is going back to teaching second grade next year and by the time Rachel gets there she will be teaching third :( . I sure miss being in school myself. It is funny how when we are young we are in a hurry to grow up but when we get older we wish we had those times back.

Update

I had my appointment with the OB. She said that everything looked great on the Ultrasound and that this new baby's kidneys did have a slight form of dilation but not enough to have to follow up on. That is good news for us! YAY!

Although Collin's white casts has helped with comments from others, I am still getting them. And people want details. So I have figured out if I say that he had a birth defect they have finally quit asking or atleast they don't ask anymore questions. I hope that maybe that will make people think twice about asking someone else. I can't wait until they are off totally!

Enjoying the outdoors

I just had to post this picture! I really hope that baby Ryan looks just like Collin! Too cute!
