Aaron's latest obsession

Aaron received a train table from Nana and Papa for Christmas a couple years ago and has a just recently become simply obsessed with the tracks again! We even got him some more tracks to add to his collection and we're so glad we did because the creativity has just been flowing from his little mind! Most of the time kids play with a toy for a day or so, but he's been playing with these tracks, and the train, every day for the past two weeks straight! It's been fun to watch and we even like to participate, that is if he'll let us anyway! We're anxious to get him some more tracks to see just how big and elaborate he can make his creations!

Sorry for so many pictures all at once, but I just figured that I would get you caught up all at once! Hope you enjoy!

LONG time no blog

OK, now that Megan is about to get her driver's license I guess it's time to update this blog! He! He! ;) We made it to California just fine and the trip went well, all things considered anyway! We are renting a three bedroom condo and still haven't quite unpacked all the boxes. I didn't realize how much longer this sort of thing takes when you have kids! Anyway, yes, we are still alive and kicking and will try to post pictures soon! Happy Day to everyone out there!

"Happy" Anniversary

June 30th was our 7 year anniversary. Sad to say, it wasn't a day full of flower bouquets and cards with sweet sentiments and romantic dinners staring at each other with love-filled eyes. It ended up being an event-filled day for sure. We decided to leave the kids with a friends so that we could go watch a movie together. We stopped by good ol' Mc D's to get some lunch before we dropped them off. We left them and neither one even realized we had gone. We were off to see our movie and it decided to rain cats and dogs on us! We made it there and ran inside as fast as we could. After the movie we were scheduled to close on our house, but I then realized I had left my wallet in the diaper bag, which has been doubling as my purse as well lately. So, we hurried back up to our friend's house to get my wallet and figured we might as well grab the kids then. We got there and grabbed them and were off again to get to the Title Company without being too late. Well, traffic lights were out periodically because of the rain so that made it even harder to hurry. About halfway down to the Title Company Aaron kept saying his tummy hurt. We were trying our best to calm him down and praying in the backs of our minds that if he did throw up that he could wait till we got there and stopped and outside of the car. NOPE. Good ol' Mc D's lunch had been resurrected, not so pleasantly. We did make it there half an hour late and Ron ran in and signed papers while I did my best to clean up the back seat and Aaron. When Ron was done we tag-teamed it and I ran in and signed papers while he finished the clean-up. We then went home and threw Aaron in a bath and since he seemed to be OK after all that we went out to dinner. After dinner we came home exhausted. As we sat on the couch together we smiled as we thought back on the crazy day and said to each other, "We make a pretty good team, don't we?!" So, even though it wasn't a day filled with romantic, sweet things it was a "good" day doing what we vowed to do 7 years ago - love each other "in sickness and in health". Happy Anniversary My Love! Maybe next year will be even better! =)
