Late September 2010

It's been a crazy-busy week this week. We had a great time on Sunday afternoon visiting with Andrew's family at the Hoover reunion. Johnny had a rough night Saturday night with some congestion, and didn't nap well on the way to Asheboro, and he actually fell asleep on the way back at 5 PM!

We put him on to bed, thinking he might actually be down for the night - but he woke up at 7:00 - ready to go! We fed him dinner and Andrew chased him around the house hoping to wear him back out - and he actually went back to sleep at 8:30 without a fuss. We were amazed! He had some more congestion and a little coughing, but seems to have shaken whatever it was. He seemed tired all week, though. Andrew is playing softball, and Johnny and I were planning to go to a little bit of the game and to have dinner with Andrew beforehand, but the other team forfeited, so we had a picnic (in the front yard). Tuesday we had a date night, and Wednesday was Softball, and Johnny and I took a walk with the neighbors. Thursday I had a faculty meeting, so Andrew picked up Johnny and they went to Chick-fil-a for dinner. We were all pretty happy that tonight was Friday night, and have enjoyed pizza and relaxing!

A very happy birthday to Bryan tonight!

Johnny really seems to have turned a corner with daycare this week - he seemed excited to be there on Monday morning when he saw where we were. On Thursday - he asked for "Kelli Kelli" (the teacher) when we got there and hardly cried at all when I left! So relieved that he seems to be doing so good.

I have to work tomorrow, but we're all looking forward to Sunday when we get to go visit the Monroes and to see Baby Claire again!

Late September 2010

Is it already mid-September?

Well, not sure how that happened. July and August were a blur between teaching Summer Session and then all the traveling for work and pleasure in August, along with a sick Johnny and Dada at the end of the month so we were pretty happy for September to arrive with some cooler days and more of a routine. I thought I'd try to make posting pictures and updating the blog a new Friday night routine! I usually don't have enough energy on Friday night for anything besides laying on the couch anyway - so why not do it with the laptop in my lap?

We've been enjoying the cooler weather with lots of playing outside, swinging, playing in the sand, stroller rides, and "mowing" everything. After being not-so-interested for a while, Johnny is back in love with the swing! He is talking more and more and is really getting the hang of riding around on all his riding toys. He knows his name and has changed from calling Andrew "Dada" to him being "Daddy". He loves using his little stool and climbing up on the couch and just hanging out.. and coloring Oh coloring! Enjoy the pictures! :
