Friday. May 23rd

It's been a great morning. This morning I woke up to Guerin singing at about 6am since he went to bed at 4:30 yesterday and never woke up until this morning. He has 3 teeth coming in so I think it has been a bit of a struggle for him. Nana kindly got up and got him up to have some breakfast. Thanks Nana!! That was helpful since I was up until 12:30 with Christopher watching the Grey's Anatomy finale, a 2 hour episode of So You Think You Can Dance, and playing the Wii. We played the race car game and he kicked my butt as usual. He is planning on getting home at 3 today - yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is right about the time that Uncle Dan gets in and I am so excited to see him. This morning Noah and I went to the grocery store. Nothing like having a cart full of groceries and receiving the code brown red alert. (Mommy - I HAVE TO GO POOOOOOOP). At least at Albertsons the restrooms are in a location where you can keep your cart close and take a restroom break. At Kroger the restrooms are at the front of the store so you pretty much have to leave the cart at a random location and hope it is still there when you come out. We are having sloppy joes tonight for dinner, and I bought a truckload of fruit to make a yummy fruit salad tomorrow. Love you guys. -

Mom comes tomorrow!!! I am very excited to have her here, and then Serena, Bub, Jim and Dad will follow on Friday. Tomorrow morning me and the boys are having breakfast out with Chris (love going out for breakfast) and then are taking the boys to get haircuts. They always look so cute when they are fresh from the barber. Then it is to the grocery store, to the church to pick up some things, and then home for naps. Nana gets in at 5ish. I am off until next Wednesday - yay!!!! It is going to be an amazing weekend. Guerin is sick - yet again. This is pure craziness. 101.6 on Monday. We'll see how he is doing tomorrow. Noah was crabby all day today according to the school which is generally a sign of sickness to come. Goodnight!

May 14th

It's back to work tomorrow. I've been off since last Thursday and feel pretty out of touch. Had a great time with Kathy here. She took me shopping and spoiled me rotten. She also kicked my butt several times at 2500 and hand and foot. We met Chris for lunch today which was a nice treat. After Noah took his nap he woke up with a fever of 100.8 and said his body hurt. Nice! It is a never ending cycle. Guerin is 5 days in on his antibiotic for ear infections. Erggggg. Can't stay home tomorrow since I've been out for so long, so hopefully the fever will go away? :) Love you all. Got to get to dinner!

Saturday, May 10th

Chris and I are going to a crawfish boil tonight at the Hastings - fun!! Our friends have volunteered to come and babysit - VERY nice. I got a pedicure today with some gift cards I got at Christmas which was awesome. I still had my french polish on from our Feb vacation - wow! Guerin added a new word to his vocab today - eat. :) Going to start a new Bible study with Jenny Rohne (we are going to do it on-line together) which I am very excited about - called Believing God. It's tough to find the time to do it, but I have some ideas. Tomorrow Kathy gets in and we can't wait - and it's Mother's Day - and it's my birthday! Yippee! I already got a few great gifts from Chris and the kiddos - very cute personalized stationery and massage gift cards, plus some replacement personalized stationery that we use to keep score in our games, and that now has Guerin's name on it! Mommy - if you are reading this - I LOVE my spa gift certificate and can't wait to use it on a massage. I also have some other gifts that I am waiting to open until tomorrow (Melanee and Sheila). I was going to wait until tomorrow to open everything, but Chris put is gifts out and I couldn't resist the temptation. If you are reading this, I love you. Only our family and dear friends have the blog address. Hope you are having a wonderful and peaceful weekend.

realization

I just realized I overuse exclamation points after reviewing my blog. Anything anyone else overuses? Would love to hear from you.

Wednesday, May 7th

We were going to go grocery shopping this morning, but there are supposed to be huge storms so we are waiting it out. In about an hour we are headed to the church where I am attending a meeting on interviewing volunteers for the preschool ministry - should be fun! After I finish this post I get to finish folding the laundry! yay! Both boys have major snot noses again but hopefully it is just allergies! Guerin has his well appt on Friday so we will find out! Kathy comes this Sunday and we are very excited. I'm taking Monday, Tuesday and Wed off next week so it should be nice. Weather is all over the place right now. On Saturday it is supposed to be 94 and on Sunday it is supposed to be 77. Crazy!

Noah's Prayer

Okay one more thing for tonight - In Noah's prayer tonight (which get better by the day), he told God that he trusted him. So STINKING CUTE! He also thanked God for many things which included the trash and buckets. I couldn't hold in the laughter any longer when he thanked God for the trash, and then he said amen. :( He would have kept going if I had any self control whatsoever. I wish I could remember the other 20 things he thanked him for. So sweet.

Guerin's complete vocabulary

Guerin can say the following words as of May 4, 2008:

Poop
dada
momma
Cheese
Amen (we love this one - and he says it after we finish praying!)
uh oh

The list is growing! . . .

Our day today

I asked Guerin if he pooped today, and he nodded yes and said poop. Sure enough the deed was done. He is in bed now, and Noah is attempting to build a very large tower with his legos. Chris is out with the guys from our home group for dinner and a movie. I can't remember the name of it, but it is a documentary on creationism vs. evolution? Maybe I can get Chris to post a review when he gets back.

We'll check this out and see how it works. Maybe we will do a better job of keeping everyone updated with news and pics . . .
