Where did May go???

I can't believe that May is almost gone! That isn't as crazy as the thought that we're closing on our new house a week from today, and will be moving there next weekend. We (as in Jeremy) have been packing up things and getting us ready to go. William's not sure about the whole deal, and is making sure to spread his precious belongings around the apartment, or hide them behind the TV (which is all good until he wants them back, there's quite the stash back there now :).

We're going up North to visit the families this weekend so that's exciting. We haven't seen Jeremy's family since January so it's overdue. I'm hoping it will also be good just to have a weekend away from the apartment to maybe think about something else for a brief change.

It's been CRAZY at work, lots of kids to sick to be on peds but not that critically ill. That makes for busy assignments, but has made my night shifts go by quickly. And I let work know I'll be out of town this weekned so hopefully they won't call three times a day looking for help.

So we'll be updating next weekend but then if there's a brief break in communications it will be related to getting all things up and running at the house. Did I just say that? At our house!?! How cool is that.

Thanks for checking in on us!

Thoughts for Kayleigh

Last winter I had Kayleigh's button on my sidebar. She's a little premi with lung disease & severe PPHN. She has been in the NICU since she was born 11 months ago. She had gotten alot better and I recently have taken it down. While recovering from a routine surgery which was preparing her for going home, she had a stroke & ended up with a severe anoxic brain injury. If you have a few moments please check out her website and send her family some thoughts as they are now missing their sweet girl. Health is so important, and so often taken for granted....we are so blessed.

May already!

Enjoying the slide, doesn't he look grown up?


Enjoying independence feeding himself his yogurt


Enjoying the wagon~ thanks Julie & Johnny! And no he didn't try to jump out after the ball that fell out~ that wouldn't be good!


A previous fishing trip, his own pole, for a few days :)


Mom & William in the rain


Spring showers are going to bring spring flowers, right?? At least they bring mud puddles you can jump in if you're wearing a huge raincoat, & mud boots. Why don't they make raincoats in sizes less than 3T? I guess all the good mommies are keeping their toddlers inside!

Well I can't believe it's May already! Happy Belated Mother's Day!! I hope you ladies all had great days! We had a lazy Sunday. Jeremy & William took me too a late lunch at Red Lobster. It was very good, and of course I ate too much. Then we did a little shopping but Will quickly got a little tired of looking at electronics. (He especially loves laptops, and specifically popping off the keys, which is not probably appreciated while shopping :) So we came back to the apartment and did some relaxing. It was a good day with my guys :) And they did buy me donuts & roses while I was getting to sleep in, so I can't complain.

We have started to pack up all of the things we don't need. So now the apartment is a MESS!! The more things William sees us put in boxes, the more toys or clothes he drags out of his room, or from the laundry basket. He is eternally helpful. He is actually at the age where he loves to pick up things and help put them away, IF he wants to. I think I hear the echo of the word NO in my head even when he's napping. Last week I asked him to say anything else, so UH-OH was the word of the day. It was a refreshing break. Of course I'm pretty sure he was just tired of saying no and not actually listening to my request. :)

We haven't been up to much else. It's been lots of working for both of us, and trying to do necessary activities in our time off~ laundry, dishes and getting groceries. We did go fishing for a bit last weekend. Apparently William didn't LOVE the Pirates of the Caribbean fishing pole we bought him, and we should have bought the Sponge Bob pole (sorry grandma kathy :). After a few short trips out fishing with his new pole he finally managed to drop it into the lake from the dock, and unlike the SpongeBob pole it didn't float, so straight to the bottom it went. Oh well, we are thankful we didn't spend alot on the pole, and he obviously didn't have any attatchment to it. Actually I think he was pleased with himself because then he can go back to using our poles (which have the reels he's used to, none of this kiddie stuff:).

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I have been trying to be better, but this month is probably going to be pretty crazy. We're making the trip to Bemidji to see the families for Memorial Day, yah!! Then the next weekend we'll be closing on our new house! And moving out in two days, thank goodness for friends... And then the first weekend in June we have a wedding and Jeremy's an usher. So if I'm on vacation for a little bit, it's really not vacation at all! I'll at least post about the move to the new house which will be here soon. You have to love moving :)
