Summer Camping

Gotta love camping with the cousins and Grandma. We all had a great time loved the camp trailers. A new must for camping. Grandma was just glad she didn't have to sleep on the ground. She just had to go between camp trailers to please the grandkids.

1st day of school

Connor was super excited for his first day of school. We dropped him off at the school. He took off from the car - "Bye!". Julie had to tell him to wait - she wanted to walk him to class. Connor stopped and let his parents walk him into the school yard - then he was off to the playground. We stuck around till the bell rang. Connor ran for his classroom - the first in line. I've never seen him so excited. He rode the bus home - another exciting experience. He is loving kindergarten and making new friends. He is already acting like a pro - getting on the bus, doing his homework. Of course his favorite part is recess. His favorite teacher is the "recess teacher" as he calls her because when he fell and scraped his knee she put a band-aid on it. Braden loves to walk with Connor to the bus stop in the morning and can't wait to see him come home.

Crazy Mother's Day

I told Rich that we would need to trade mother's day and father's day this year. This is how it went: Rich went to bed Sat. night burning up, but feeling freezing cold. He woke up the same way and spend the next 3 days in bed. So I fixed breakfast and got the three of us off to church. Came home early to drop the boys off at home so I could go to a memorial for a patient from work. Made sure Braden was down for a nap, Connor had a movie in, and Rich had lunch before I left. Came home and took the boys over to Rich's parents for Mother's Day. Luckily I didn't have to make dinner, Masayo did. We visited and did some yard work for her for mother's Day. Then I dropped the boys off and made sure Braden was in Bed before I headed off to work again. This time to meet with a family who's mother was actively dying. I did think to myself that I would take my mother's day anyday compared to that families Mother's Day. On the 40 min. drive home at 10:30 at night I realized I hadn't called my own mother. Had a nice conversation with her and I instantly went to bed when I got home. The next day Connor took me outside (with my eyes closed) to show me the wonderful bird feeder they had gotten me for the yard. Connor had also told me many times that day Happy Mother's Day and that he loved me. I know Rich had many plans for breakfast, dinner, and a nice day. Sorry it was such a bummer for him.

Oh and by the way if you can't tell by the baby count down (wish it wasn't such a scary picture) we are expecting again around November 8th. That makes any Mother's Day extra special.

Slow down - it's the 5-0.

"Hey, Dad. When I grow up and I'm a policeman..and I pull you over for speeding...I won't give you a ticket...'cause you're my dad." Thanks, Connor - you're a great son. FYI - this was after we saw someone pulled over - it wasn't me. And Connor offered the same deal to Julie.
