Still kickin' here in Florida!

Uncle E, Auntie A, and Grandma...just relaxing!

BC playing hide-n-seek with Uncle E. Wow, Uncle E is good! It took us ALL a long time to find him here in the laundry room, with a lamp shade on his head. We all had a good laugh over this!

The family...together again! (Think it might be time for some new shades for BC? Um, yea...a bit tiny for that head of his!)

Hi all! Geez, I'm sorry for my lack of blogging lately. I don't know what's gotten into me! We're doing just fine, staying busy as usual, and for some reason, I've been having "bloggers block" when it comes to typing it all out. Don't give up on me! It will all come back one of these days!

We are SO happy to have Daddy home with us again! Did you know that we've been in our house for 2 months already? And that he had only spent about 10 nights here before this weekend? Well, it's true! So we are so thankful that he's working here locally and we hope that will continue. His new account gets going in October, so he'll be very busy getting everything organized, but BC and I are just happy to get him home in the evening! Bear Cub has some re-adjusting to do though. He missed his Daddy SO much while he was gone that our short weekends together were completely Daddy-centered for him. He's very clingy to Daddy and I know it's because he's expecting him to pack his suitcase and go for another week! So hopefully soon BC will realize that he'll see his Daddy daily and we can BOTH do things for him.

We had a great weekend! Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie A, and Uncle E came over for a birthday lunch on Saturday. We had fun visiting with them and took a trip to our neighborhood park -- even though it felt like a 120 degrees outside! Phew! It was a nice day though. :) I can't even really remember WHAT we did on Sunday.... oh! We went to our splash pool and ran some errands...again, just 'normal' stuff, but the fact that we had Daddy with us made it seem special!

It was back to school on Tuesday for Bear Cub. He did ok. We did learn that it's best for Daddy NOT to walk with us, because BC cried for the first time when we left him. Again, no tears for Mommy, but when it comes to Daddy...the waterworks began! We are working on some important school skills, like sitting still and listening, at home, and we know he'll get the hang of it all soon. He again was able to tell me what book Ms. Teresa read, what they did and didn't do, AND he brought home his first artwork! Very cute! :) I was able to get a lot done that morning - vacuuming, mopping, cleaning the bathroom....all the while I jammed out to MY music! It will be nice to have a couple of mornings a week to do things around here or have appointments for myself (and by myself!) when needed. Tomorrow is another school day...I'm counting on a good report!

I am SO looking forward to this upcoming weekend! My best friend, Erica, is coming down and we're heading to our high school friend's bridal shower and "Girls Night Out!" It's going to be so fun and relaxing! Can't wait to see my friends...many I haven't seen in 10+ years. It will be quite a reunion!

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Enjoy the pictures from our family time on Saturday! :)
