Reunion

`Today was a perfect day. The weather was absolutely perfect, Jack had a great day at school, the tigers beat the yankees, and the reunion/playdate I organized was successful. Speaking of the reunion, I was able to get together with friends I have not seen in a very long time, say 15 yrs!! We all met at a local park with our kids and caught up. It was so fun seeing all of my friends with their own children and it was nice to hear about their lives. I have facebook to thank for this one because I was able to locate and reconnect with them. My only downfall is I forgot to bring my camera!!

I'm back!!

My computer had a slight mishap and was out of commission for a long time. It was spilled milk, compliments of Jack. The main problem it was not an accident and was done deliberately. I am happy that I have a talented nephew who fixed it free of charge!!

Here is what is new at our house
Jeorge is getting better day by day and is more energetic
Jack is biking every day and finishing up soccer. We also have been visiting schools b/c we are unable to afford Waldorf without financial assistance
James is his happy little self
I am working more and taking classes

Jack had his 1st dental appt and it was a hit!! He was power boy ( he was wearing a blanket as a cape) and he was a hoot. He was asking a trillion questions and was extremely cooperative and on his best behavior. I was very proud and was happy it went so well!!

New Digs

We recently got bunk beds because I had nowhere to sleep. Our bedroom has become a machine inferno. Jeorge has a nebulizer, oxygen tanks, and a bi-pap machine. Needless to say, it is literally like a sauna in there. I tried to sleep there one night and between the noise and the heat it was terrible. I resorted to sleeping on an air mattress for a week but quickly decided that I could not keep that up!! My new bed is amazing!!! I am so comfortable and sleep great every night. Jack is my new roomie and he loves it. Every night he climbs up to his bunk and reads books to me. At least the fun factor is fading so he is talking less and getting to bed earlier.

Work

Ok so I have only worked a few shifts at the restaurant and they were on the slow days. Today was a completely different story. I forgot how hectic and exhausting waiting tables can be!!! I went to work at 9 and expected to get a few tables here and there, but I was busy from the second I walked in until 4 pm~!! Don't get me wrong, I like being busy and the money is great but I am an amateur these days and need to get my rhythm back. The highlight of my day today was seeing some old friends from highschool. I saw jarchow, Dave, and Brad. Its always fun to see a familar face, especially ones you haven't seen in 15 yrs!! I am looking forward to adding more time in at the Cafe so I can see more people on a regular basis.

On a side note... I am bummed State lost.
Another note.. ...Happy I did not do a bracket this year because it would have been ugly!

Baby james is 7 months!!

It is so hard to believe that my little guy is 7 months old today!! He is at such a fun age right now. He is trying so hard to talk and is constantly making loud noises to make his presence known. He adores his older brother and always gets excited and laughs whenever Jack talks to him or is acting silly. I am still waiting on his first tooth. It seems like it could be any time because of his excessive drooling. He is rolling over and sitting up. I have to eat up as much baby time as I can because you blink and they are already toddlers.

Happy Easter

Jack was thrilled that the Easter Bunny prevailed thru the snow and made it to Chez Swanson. He couldn't believe the Easter Bunny knew he liked Cars and was loving his 1967 blue ford mustang gt coupe!! James recevied a pokemon stuffed animal from his loving brother who was willing to share some of his basket, now thats LOVE!!

Jeorge part 2

`Jeorge is home!! We are so happy. He is recovering slowly and needs lots of TLC!!
