Growing!

I took a picture of K a day or two ago and realized how much he has grown. The left picture was taken in November. The right picture was taken this week. Granted, that is an eight month difference but look at the position of his shoulders and elbows in these two pictures!  I think they may have been taken at a slightly different angle but it was pretty close.

In other news, our decomposed pumpkin (from Halloween that we forgot about while it turned into a pumpkin plant in the side yard) is growing a pumpkin! 

VBS...finally!

This week is Vacation Bible School at the church where K went to day care and then pre-K....you know, before becoming the big kid that he is now!  Last year was his first year going to Vacation Bible School and he had so much fun that he has talked about it at different points throughout the year.  He really has been looking forward to it and seems to be enjoying it this year just as much as he did last year. Yesterday morning when I told him it was the first day he did a little fist/elbow pump and said 'Yes! I've been waiting for this ALL year!' 

Here's a picture from tonight before things got started. Also tonight, he made a staff that he was pretty proud of!

It's about time!

I make it a point to check out my friend's blog just about every day. It has turned out to be part of my morning routine. A few days ago I was giving her a hard time about it not being updated after, I don't know, 2 days maybe. She answered back with, "Too bad I can't get into that routine with my friend". You know I think about doing an update on here pretty often…but as usual, things get busy and time gets away from me. Today I was looking back at some of my old posts and realized how neat it was to see things documented. I even found the date of a dr appt that K had that they don't seem to have on record! Who knew I'd find it here?! So here I am, at least for a week or so (until I fall off the blog wagon) posting updates.

I have not been feeling well for the last few days so we've been taking a kind of easy. Yesterday we went to the movies with some friends but that was about it. Today started out kind of slow but this afternoon we ventured out to the aquarium. 

Afterwards we hit McD's for a drink...

...and then spent some time at the beach. K loves being in the water and I was hoping some salt air would help out my lungs....b/c you know, the beach fixes everything! 😉
