Oh my...HI THERE! We're still here! :)

Hi everyone!  I can't even tell you how busy and hectic life is these days!  Between trips to the pool, library, bug walks, housework (well, sometimes, anyway), and WORK...the time just disappears!  We are doing great.  Bear Cub is busy and happy at school.  He is very proud that he can read his sight word flashcards that are being sent home now.  Me too!  :)

Let's see...last weekend BC and I drove up to Jacksonville to spend 2 nights with my best friend (from WAY back...24 years now...WOW!) and her family.  She has 2 cutie pie boys that BC had a blast with!  Each time we see them, I say, "Now THAT was the best visit the boys have had together!" and sure enough, I said it again this time!  They play really well together...of course, with the typical squabble here and there, but overall, I'd say they are 3 peas in a pod! :)  It's so awesome to still be so close with my friend E and the fact that our boys will grow up together is so special.  I don't know how many people have friendships like that in life.  I feel very blessed to have that in mine!

The boys did go CATERPILLAR crazy together...collecting probably 30+ caterpillars.  They were all over the place!  Well...wouldn't you know...that BC and even friend B started getting some SPOTS on them.  Hmmm...we thought they were bug bites, but then Mimi Bear mentioned a news story she'd seen about a certain type of caterpillars causing an itchy rash.  Yup...same type of caterpillars that were crawling all over the boys, going for car rides, Jeep rides, pretty much everywhere!  Ha!  I took BC to the doctor yesterday and she confirmed it...no worries...the spots will fade...in a FEW WEEKS.  Oh, brother.  Back to the "No picking up caterpillars!" rule.  :)

 They took turns pushing each other...what good friends!  :)

 Isn't he dreamy!?!  

 The only pic I got of the lil man in the house...he is SO adorable and sweet, too!

 Oh my...warning...stay off all major roads in about 12 years.  This is one CRAZY driver!

Enjoy the pics!  I'll try to get better with my blogging.  I miss it and am ashamed of my lack of picture taking!  :(  Mid-year resolution...more picture taking!  :)
