Your Wonderful Daddy... July 05, 2008

We're in the middle of enjoying a long family weekend together.  I'm listening to some of the most precious sounds right now.  Daddy has done so much to take care of you and us today.  I'm sitting here listening to him cheerfully and happily giving you a bath upstairs.  He's having fun with you and you are with him.  I can hear both of you talking, playing in the tub, talking about all the fun things we've been doing this weekend and the "choo-choo" we're going to ride today.  He's such a good dad, and such a fun person.  I'm glad he's yours...and mine.

My Little Sickie... July 12, 2008

My poor little Noah, you've been so sick the past two days.  It makes me so grateful for doctors and medicine.  We think you've had pneumonia or croup.  It's such a strange time of year for you to get sick like this and it came on so suddenly, that it really took me by surprise.  You've only been this sick one other time in your life, and maybe not even then.  You've been running a fever, you have a cough that sounds like a dog, and every time you cough, you cry because it hurts so bad.  All you want to do is have me hold you...We've even been sleeping together on the floor of your room at night.  It's been a long couple of days and I'm so hoping you feel all better soon. 3 cute stories from this: We took you to the Dr. and they did an x-ray of your chest.  It was basically impossible for you to hold still like they needed to, so we ended up having to take them twice.  They gave us the extra one to take home as a souvenir, so we have a l...

Helllloooo Summer... May 27, 2008

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend.  In my mind, this is the weekend that Summertime officially starts.  This is the last week of school for lots of kids, the outside pool at our gym opens, people brush up on all their barbequeing recipes...Summer is here.  At least supposedly it is.  It rained all weekend long.  Even with the rain we managed to have a bunch of good times together; long weekends are so nice. Saturday, for once, we worked in our yard all day long.  For a few years now we've been the house in the neighborhood known by having only ONE tree and no bushes or flowers to keep it company.  We named our tree "Max".  We figured if it had to be a lonely tree, it might as well have a name.  Well, Max has lots of "friends" now and more to come.  Chris, Noah, and I literally spent all day long planting 8 trees and we still have 11 bushes to plant.  We planned to finish up on Monday, but it was too rainy....

Chicago (Part Two)... March 30, 2008

The second day we were there Chris spent the whole morning and until 3:00 in interviews for the White House Fellowship.  He said they went pretty well and that he felt good about them.  I was just praying for him that his personality would come across because really, who could not love him?  I spent the morning having an expensive taxi fiasco and ending up at a really cool natural history museum.  (Let's just say, cabbis don't really care about you.  They just care that you can pay them - and no, they don't want to take the time to have you pay by credit card.)  But let's just focus on the cool museum part. At the Field Museum they have the largest and most complete T-Rex ever found.  It's head alone was 5 feet long.  Reading that helped me put into perspective how big dinosaurs really were and made me realize why my 5 year old nephew Mason is obsessed with them.  I'm only 5'4".  I guess knowing that a huge, biting, fightin...
