Sorry it has been so long!

Andrea, Desiree and Julian ready for the parade...

Sorry it has been so long...there are no real excuses, just we have been busy! The weather has just started to get nice and we have been outside enjoying it while we can! Today it is going to reach 90 so we are going to be heading over to my parents to swim! We have been blessed to have met a wonderful family. Desiree and her mommy Andrea are just wonderful! Andrea and I are like two peas in a pod! It is amazing how much we have in common...Julian and Desiree are in the same school, so we are hoping that they will be in the same class this up coming year! They just love each other. So we are trying to get together every week. I have posted some pictures from our weekend together...Every other Wednesday I am hosting a play date with Julian...providing that the weather is good...I am so looking forward to it! I know he will have a blast as well!

I know that people come into our lives and go...I am so glad that Andrea, her husband Brian and Desiree have come into ours! They are also Christians like us, so having the same belief system, and child rearing makes it so much more special! We have been blessed that is for sure!

This weekend we are going to Lobster Fest with our best friends Katie and Patrick and their family, so I will be sure to post pictures for that! My husband is throwing me a 40th birthday party at the end of June as well...so we have a lot planned for the month of June already! Jeff is off from work for almost 3 weeks in June, so it will be great to all be home! Enjoy your day and know that God loves you and so do I!!

Moving Up Day!

So today was moving up day at pre school...what a great day and bitter sweet...to think he is going to be in the 4 year old program next year is mind blowing! We had a great day. Nana and Papa were able to come watch his program...it was great! Julian was too cute! They did the toody ta song...how adorable was that! I wish I used my camera to video tape it instead of the camcorder...So I have posted some pictures of his day!

On a darker note...Our dog Eugene caught a bird in the yard this morning...it was horrible! I was shaking and was really upset by it...Julian asked what happened and I told him the bird fell from the tree and died! Hugs and Blessings!

We have been busy...

The weather has been wonderful week! We have been on a shopping spree! Baseball, sand box and more balls to play with! I went to PT today and Julian was playing with his water table all day...he loves the water! We can't wait for the pool to open!!! We have had a great weekend! Daddy has been home since Friday...it is his long weekend...so we have been going on long walks, farmers market runs and so much fun in the yard! We have a bunch of new neighbors on our street so it is nice to meet them all! The house next door to us is for sale and we are excited to see who moves in! I am starting to plan our summer out and we are packing it in with alot of fun stuff...so keep an eye out for us! Julian has been doing yoga with me...we are having so much fun! Can't wait for the yard to finally be dry so I can do yoga in the yard while he is playing! Well that is what we have been up to! See you all soon!

SO I was thinking...

what can I do with Julian this summer that is free...I am not into spending money anymore...wait...did I just say that? Hmmmm...priorities have changed I guess. SO there is the play ground...we have a pass to the museum...there is always play grounds and parks...but we bought Julian a TBall set...man oh man...can he hit a ball! For almost 4...I am impressed! Not only is he handsome, smart but he is athletic as well! (can you tell I am his mother?) LOL So the last few days we have been playing in the yard...and does it feel good to be outside for a change! I have a feeling I am going to be sporting a nice tan this year! Oh yeah...and of course...swimming at nana and papa's! Well I hope you all had a nice mother's day...we did...or should I say I did! Hugs and Blessings!

Happy Mother's day!

My mom and me...I was just born...look how beautiful my mom is!

Mom and I back in the 90's

I must have been about 2 years old here...maybe 3...I love the way my mother is looking at me!

And finally one of my all time favorite pictures of us!

I know it is a day early...but I must say...today was such a wonderful day! Julian was a dream and such a good helper. The weather was great! Sun was shining. Since I am the president of the block club, I had to deliver the list of neighbors names and our planting information. He was such a wonderful help! And it was a great work out as well! Walking up and down stairs...we were walking for 2 hours...down our little street! So after his nap, we went outside...our neighbors across the street had family over and the kids came over to play in our yard with Julian...and he had so much fun! The kids played so nice together...I sat outside and chatted with the kids while they played...2 hours! Finally I had to tell Julian that it was time to eat dinner...well that didn't go well...he cried and cried...I felt so bad...but it is what it is!

I have posted some pictures of my beautiful mom...she means the world to me...I wouldn't be the mom I am today without her helping me grow as a mom! She is my best friend! I just love her so much!!! We are going to brunch tomorrow with our little family...Julian is going to be so handsome...I will post pictures!!!

Sunday, Sunday...

Or is that Monday, Monday...by the Mama and the Papa's? LOL Anyway...as you know we have been trying to figure out what is going on with Julian and his sinus issue...well after 2 rounds of antibiotics (which he has only had 2 other times in his life...I am so not a fan of them for kids) I think it knock out whatever was the issue...so we took him off Zyrtec on Friday and he has been wonderful...no mind you the occasional back talk and NO is still there, but it was miserable here for 2.5 weeks with that crap in him! I don't know if it is the Zyrtec or the Antibiotic that was the problem making him irritable, but I am really not even going to see what it is! Prior he was complaining about his eye hurting him...so far so good with that...so with any degree of luck we have flushed out the problem!

Computers...do any o fyou let your children play on them with PBS kids or Nick Jr.? Well, He LOVES our favorite baldheaded 4 year old...I will not mention his name on here...Well he found som really cool things to work on! So I figured he could spend sometime working on that over the summer...but how much is too much..you know how you jump on the computer and the next thing you knwo yhou have been on it for 2 hours! Well I don't want that happening here! So here is a question for you...How much time do you let your child play on the computer? I am thinking maybe a hour a day...30 mins in the am and 30 mins in the pm...but once summer is here I know we will be out and about...and if you are a mother of a one and only, you are the constant playmate...so at least I can have a cup of joe! Let me know what you think...the good the bad and the ugly! Hugs and blessings!!!
