Yeah I haven't blogged at all this summer or fall for that matter!! Now we're into winter and I really need to keep up with this! Uhhgggggg... Someone yell at me when I haven't blogged in a bit will you???<br /><br />We're snowed in so hopefully I can get caught up today...

Things have been crazy since my last post. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jaycob's</span> end of the school year stuff was going on, planning visitations for the Older Two, planning trips to PA, MI, and AL. Also a mini-trip to NY!! Making <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">appointments</span> for both the kids for school physicals for the upcoming school year, making appointments for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Aby</span> with Infants and Toddlers... The list just goes on!<br />But now I'm here and hopefully will sketch out a particular time in my summer routine to blog consistently! Though there's no promises! So as usual, I'll be back dating and you'll have to go click on older posts to catch up!Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01495587433788715538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36617461.post-86287458538257162242009-06-18T22:02:00.000-05:002009-06-26T21:14:46.108-05:00Visiting G-G-pa's Firehouse<div align="center">G-G-pa took the kids to see the firehouse and the fire trucks today.

G-G-ma and G-G-pa tried to take us to a section of beach that was super calm and super shallow, but the road was closed to that section. Driving down to the beach looked <em>just</em> like driving in the Outer Banks, NC. Anyway... We decided to stay anyway. The kids actually got their feet wet and wanted to weighed in a bit further, but the waves were pretty strong and I wasn't comfortable with that. I know mean mommy!

They came in to visit because we then got up this morning to all drive to Alabama!! Yep, we're road tripping all the way to Alabama, without Daddy to top it off! </div><div align="center"><br /> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">One of the stops we made for potty and maps was at a welcome center that was also a train station. We thought it would be cool if Jaycob actually got to walk across real railroad tracks. He was so excited about it all. But while talking to the guy there we discovered that a train was actually due to stop in about 15 minutes! So we decided to wait. It ended up being longer then that, but it was well worth it! A train came through all right, but it wasn't the train that was stopping it was just a cargo train with all the boxcars. He was so thrilled about that! Then the train that was supposed to come through came in and he actually recognized the CSX engine from one of the DVD's he has. It stopped and we watched people get on and it took off again. I think he was surprised at how big and loud the train actually was! While we were sitting there listening to him be excited we heard the sound of another train whistle in the distance so we sat a little longer. Sure enough another passenger train came roaring through! It was then time to get them back across the track and loaded into the truck.</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zsEmCIxY6g0WrxzsPsgwTTPMGWoHbQzW83YLf-1Zn1SiEFr5W6Bc_93tenYrz66p8c5y4xZRF044NLdGVowf6a_Wj0ma9zLDw6Lnh1_JsyOs7E3_9kCz6EenhYePkbHjEeA5/s1600-h/IM004491.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351766141537558674" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0zsEmCIxY6g0WrxzsPsgwTTPMGWoHbQzW83YLf-1Zn1SiEFr5W6Bc_93tenYrz66p8c5y4xZRF044NLdGVowf6a_Wj0ma9zLDw6Lnh1_JsyOs7E3_9kCz6EenhYePkbHjEeA5/s200/IM004491.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTbVU4E5cHcsXWVBxjFU_F8WvOF6wnN15JPsoD0xYvHpZFVgiaU3Brqx5lPI_O1t2CTga4ofrNO7ZUtbHj5JED200doU_vW8IbY8oU8cFr8jL7KEybQn9xymyahDCssYS3Kka/s1600-h/IM004493.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351766147307228818" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipTbVU4E5cHcsXWVBxjFU_F8WvOF6wnN15JPsoD0xYvHpZFVgiaU3Brqx5lPI_O1t2CTga4ofrNO7ZUtbHj5JED200doU_vW8IbY8oU8cFr8jL7KEybQn9xymyahDCssYS3Kka/s200/IM004493.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">The kids have done really well so far.

So the short of it is: She was running down a LONG concrete handicap ramp, fell, & her face caught her. She didn't have a scratch on her hands or knees. We were surprised that all scabs came off by the following Tuesday! Her nose is still quite pink where it was and I think its still a bit tender, but I think she'll be fine.<br /><br />Funny note: Through it all she kept calling the scabs scales!! Even this morning she asked about her scales and it took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about!Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01495587433788715538noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36617461.post-14699735358005156452009-05-08T22:29:00.000-05:002009-06-26T13:05:13.914-05:00Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!<div align="center">Yep, we went to the zoo! We drove up to the Metro in a line with a couple other moms from our area only to meet up at the zoo with about 10+ more moms from other areas! We got to actually ride the Metro which I think was the kids favorite part, though it made me realize how much of a country girl I really am. All the mess of the Metro, I was completely lost! Thankfully, we had someone with us that does it often!

The kids have done great. I thought for sure the first night would be bad. New place, new sounds, stressed, & new bed for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Aby</span> it all just spells bad night!! But nope, first night they both slept through the night. I chalked it up to being so worn out. Last night they were in bed early and still stayed in bed through the night!<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Abygail</span> got up at 6:30a and I told her it wasn't 7 yet and she needed to go back to bed. Off she went, back to bed until I got her when I got up a bit after 7a!! I really do hope this keeps up, Mommy needs some sleep!Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01495587433788715538noreply@blogger.com0
