Late Summer Craziness

Chewba as:  SUPER BABY

Late Summer is often a lovely time, but this week has been yucky.

60's overnight and overcast or rainy days make lousy weather

for getting in a few more pool adventures.

I still have to make my own swim Skort...

Chewba loves the water and wants me to take

him in whenever I can...

I desperately need to order books...

today...

actually, now would be good : )

Chewba is almost exactly 9 months old RIGHT NOW

(it's 9:55am and he was born 10:12 am)

He needs me soon...

He has been eating everything he is given lately...

doesn't like baby food, just the real stuff.

Oh, and nursing...though those teeth are becoming

rather....painful : (

(for me)

We started back to school last week.

I like to do 2 or 3 weeks of half days before the

BIG SHOW...

Our Co-Op starts to meet next Thursday!

Looking forward to regular time with all of our friends.

We have TONS of new families joining us this year.

Yippee!

We will be heading South in Sept. for our first trip to Florida

since Scooter was a baby...yikes, 11 years!

Trying to get Chewba to spend some time in his own bed at night...

not easy...

it would be easier to just leave him in my bed...

It is nice to be able to cuddle with the Hubby

once in a while, though...

Without a baby between us!

Another playdate today...three this week...eek!

Trying to catch up for an August that slipped by me...

Pax Christi!

The Day Was Warm but the Water Was COLD!!!

I FINALLY got to meet my best friend's new baby...

on May 31st (yeah, I know...I'm behind again!)

He is adorable!

Got a chance to hold him...

but best of all...

I managed to get him off to the Land of Nod!

We had a nice picnic and then wandered across the street ...

TO THE BEACH!!!

My kids are such beach bums...but little did I expect them...

TO GO IN THE WATER!!!

Thay had a blast...

Fishing....

Digging...

for sand crabs...

While we ladies just sat back and watched...

(thank goodness for Lovey...

He's the one who kept an eye on the munchkins!)

NICE DAY....AHHHHHH.

Good News / Bad News

Well, I have been amazingly busy these last few weeks.

I didn't even get a Vintage Thingie post up last week...

The fact that I lost access to all my photos getting

a new computer had something to do with that...

Oh, Well.

Anyway,

Last Friday we got some GREAT News...

There will be a new member of our family

next spring...May, I think...

I have an OB appointment on the 17th.

My husband is Very Happy

My children are THRILLED.

Scooter informed me that she has been

praying 7 Hail Marys in Latin

Every Morning...for a new baby.

Snorkie wants a boy baby...

The girls want TWINS...

Considering the efficacy of children's prayers,

perhaps I should be prepared!

OK, now for the bad news...

I'm BEAT, drag-out tired by the afternoons.

NOT good news for the Blog.

It's a little like the way that your

"pet babies" suffer somewhat when the

"Real" babies come along.

Poor "Blog-Baby" will be a little

Neglected...

Well, I'm going to TRY to keep posting

at least once a week...hopefully more.

I have so many good tales to tell

Of meeting and marrying,

school and babies,

floods and homelessness...

Oh, My.

Blessings All!
