Monday, Monday

4th of July was a blur this year. Danny was so so sick. Fever and just not himself. He watched the fireworks, but you could tell he was miserable. Fast forward a few days after that and he's all better. Not so much for Dan and I. We got it BAD. Fever, sore throat, achey, miserable .... and to top it all off - we both got pink eye. Yuck! That is the worst ever. We both agreed that we've never been so sick in our lives. The pink eye almost took two full weeks to resolve itself. My eyes are just now presentable. Going to Kroger at 8am for ginger ale and soup wearing sunglasses is just NOT fun. lol

But all is well now. Danny spent the weekend at Gigi's again and we had some much needed alone time - and well time - together :)

We're planning a surprise birthday trip for Danny this October. Just a quick weekend getaway to Nick Hotel again. He so loved that place last year. We're going to hop on a plane and not tell him where we're going. He will freak when we pull up to the hotel. It really is unmistakeable from the road with all the characters on the outside of it. I can't wait to see his expression.

Lucky kid!

Tuesday Ramblings

So, the weekend went great. Everyone showed up and we had a great time catching up/swimming/eating. Amanda was in Mexico with friends, so the grandkids were not ALL present.

Danny is going to Gigi's for a few days. Thursday - Saturday/maybe Sunday. We're going to the Rough Riders game on Friday night - annual suite party Karen has for Unimed. It's always a fun time and the free beer and food is great too. Maybe we'll go out afterwards to take advantage of being kidless :)

Rained again yesterday and today. Rainy June for sure!

Rain Rain Go Away

It has rained so much this Spring! Apparently, it rained almost the entire time we were gone on vacation the last half of May. Danny's tball games are so far behind schedule from all the rainouts... we'll be playing Spring tball in the Fall at this rate!

Michael, Terri, Heidi, Michael Ryan, and Macey are driving up from Houston this weekend to visit. Danny is so excited to see Macey - they had so much fun playing last Christmas at their house. We also went down to see them in the Fall. Dan and Michael went to a Redskins game together.

So, this weekend we're just going to hang around outside and swim. David and his family are coming over with Mom and Mark's kids are *supposed* to pop in also. It will be the first time (maybe ever) all the grandkids are in one place at one time. Photo Op!

Getting This Started

So, I finally decided to join the world of blogging.

Danny is in Summer Camp the next few weeks from 9-1 on M/W/F. At first glance, 4 hours seems like a long time to be kid-less. It's not - the time flies. I still can't believe he's starting Kindergarten in the Fall.... it seems like just yesterday he was a little baby.

We just got back from our huge vacation to The Mediterranean. 22 of us went; Faith and her family among them. Danny and Faith had a blast - but the time together began to wear on them. We were gone for 17 days and they did begin to argue towards the end. :)

6 countries on this latest trip: Italy, Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey, Vatican City
