1. Wayne is done with chemo for a week. It falls at a good time for him because we've got the 4th, his birthday (38th), and his 20th High School Reunion next weekend.
Perfect timing.
2. Yesterday Caeden spent the day with his new buddies, N and E. They came over for a play date and we had a blast. They managed to team up on me and show me no mercy. Baseball bat, water guns, etc. were used to make me surrender over and over.
They were so cute ... but hostile! :)
N said a prayer before lunch and it was one of the sweetest prayers I've ever heard. I could listen to him say, "Miss Valerie," over and over. Such a honey.
These pics were taken with my humble iPhone, but you get the idea of what they were up to.
Where the water fight started ...
(no helmet to fit her so she just pushed it around)
Band aid covering a scratch somehow obtained from riding in the motorized truck.
This pic was taken just as I told Caeden that he was invited to go along with N and E's family to a baseball game (his first ever) and watch fireworks. They jumped around and hugged because they were so excited. Even made a secret hand shake.
Melted me.
N asking what would happen if he ate a fly. Looks like he was really thinking about it, huh?
And of course, the truck.
3. A couple of weeks ago I became the recipient of a running injury. Sometimes it is so bad that I cannot walk (but have found Vicodin and it helps so much), or involuntarily cry out when I step on my leg. It's pretty bad. I have been going to PT and it seems to be helping, although running is completely out of the picture. So I have been walking on the treadmill instead ... and watching as everyone else runs ( I am the loser "working out" at a snails pace - I promise never to judge a walker at the gym again!! - Not that I ever did, mind you...)
Bad timing with so much going on (Miss you Jami! Wish you were all here!!)
4. C-Bear has been styling in her Matilda Jane outfits
(came home with a suitcase full of goodness for her).
Doesn't matter where I take her - the grocery store, Target, just out and about at the gym
... I get stopped and asked where I get her outfits.
You, too, can dress your daughter in MJ ...
and you might want to get some on the 7th when they have a 40% sale!!
Great timing, wouldn't you say?
Funny, I stick this pic in when Claire is NOT wearing MJ. Still funny though, cuz all this sweet little chub wants to do is eat. LOL
5. Headed up to Rapid City on Tuesday. Photo shoots, old friends, new friends, Grandma and Grandpa, Lucy Goosie Bad Dog, Deadwood, Sturgis Reunion ... we will be there soon!
Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
