Weekend At Ma Maws

Oh what a weekend it was. I spent it working and studying. Nick, luckily got to spend the weekend with his Ma Maw. He was even able to spend Sunday with his Uncle Michael and Aunt Amy. (Sorry if you guys didn't get a nap!) I think they both enjoyed every minute of it. Nick went to bed with out a fight tonight and I am sure my mom was exhausted as well. Mom took Nick to Sam Parr on Saturday where a majority of my family spent the weekend camping. Mom said that Nick played outside the entire day. He was actually around other kids for a change. He did not have a nap for two days. He even ate morel mushrooms. Mom said he and Gauge (nephew) ate so many that she had to make them stop because she was afraid they would get belly aches. I haven't had a morel mushroom is about three years. I am very jealous.

Mom is coming over this weekend to stay and I really hope she gets some time to relax. I hope I didn't push her too far with Nick either although I know she really enjoyed it. Thanks so much Mom!

For the Kinkade Family

Congratulations to the Kinkade family on the announcement that they will be extending their family. How exciting that now Jack gets to take on the role of BIG brother. I can't wait to hear the progress. One of these days (after I am finished with school) Ryan and I will talk about another, but for now I look forward to everyone elses baby news! Congratulations again.

We love bathtime

Thanks Ma Maw!!

With Ga Maw Linda breaking her hip we were in a bind for a sitter. Fortunately Ma Maw Lisa was feeling up to the challenge of watching Nick for the weekend. Here are a few pics before they left on Friday.

When I talked to Mom today she said she actually slept really good last night. I hope they are having a great time and that Nick doesn't wear her out too much. Thanks Mom...We love you!

Get Well Soon!

I wanted to wish my Mother-in-law a speedy recovery. Today while walking Nick she fell on the sidewalk and broke her hip. While this poor lady was in pain all she could think about was Nick. She said Nick was very concerned about her and crying out to her. She somehow managed to get him out of the stroller and he laid on her chest until someone could get to her. Luckily he understood that something was not right and stayed right with her. Unfortunately no one in the neighborhood stopped or heard anything to come help her.

The sidewalk they were walking on was completely filled with slimy moss that made it very slippery. By the time she saw it, it was too late. She ended up breaking the ball part of her hip in two.

My neighbor Rachel was kind enough to watch Nick while Linda was rushed to the hospital. She said that when he came to her house he was really upset. He kept saying Ga maw fall, Ga maw hurt, noise.

It is hard to image that a 20 month old can put all of that together and remember what happened. Even when he went to bed tonight he continued to tell us about the events of the day.

Get well soon Ga maw!

Giddy Up

For the past few months Nick has been riding the broom around like a stick horse. I decided it would probably be best to get him the real thing. We set out to pick the perfect horse last Thursday. Who new they would be so hard to find. After searching Wal-mart, K-mart and Target we finally scored a stick horsey at Magoo's store of Toys. Dang those things are expensive!
It was well worth the cash to see the excitement on Nick's face when he rode on his horsey for the first time!

Telling his new horse night, night!
