Avoiding a Disaster

Today I went to the movies and stumbled upon Jason and Nicholas. The two of them were just standing there so I asked why. Jason said that they were there to see the Simpsons but Nicholas wouldn't stay in there so they kept going in and out. He also said that they were waiting for Isabella and her mom to come out. Since I have not seen Jason with her yet I decided to leave as quickly as I could. I kissed poor Nicholas, who didn't seem to know what to make of the awkward situation, and I bolted out the door. I am just not ready to see that, I wonder when I will be.

Some of my Favorite Things

1. When Christopher is crying and he leans into me for comfort.
2. When Nicholas kisses my cheek, puts his little arms around my neck and says, "I love you, mama."
3. When Christopher gets so excited to see Nicholas that his arms are flapping and he falls backwards.
4. When Nicholas says to Christopher, "It's OK, It's OK, I'm right here."

Another Triumph

We survived our trip to CT to visit the family. Even though the kids and I were stuck in airports from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm with lost luggage and a lost stroller, there was not a tantrum or a peep of crying. I am so impressed with my amazing children. I thought for sure after a cancelled direct flight and then being switched to a connecting flight through Ohio there was going to be big trouble but those boys are travelers! They enjoyed every minute of our vacation. We went to Forest Park, Friendly's, Evergreen Walk (a wonderful outdoor mall), out to lunch, and on a road trip to visit Grampie. My little guys were so good the entire time we were gone. I am just so proud of them!

Bugs

Not my favorite topic. There was the biggest horse fly I have ever seen in my entire life on our patio. Even Alli, our dog who is not that bright, would not go near it. I gathered all my courage and my flip flop and wacked that bug with all my might. That gross thing was dead instantly and Nicholas thought I was a hero! Eww, do I hate bugs!

July 4th

It was a little awkward being semi-single or whatever you would call me at this stage. There were other single people there, it was just odd I guess since it was my first time. It didn't take long for me to stop thinking about it, though. I was around good friends and family so I'm sure I am making a bigger deal out of it then I should. Just like everything else, I'm sure each time will get easier.

Sigh

How I hate walking by Nicholas' dark room when he's at Jason's house. I just hate not having my little guy here to check up on. I wake up in the middle night thinking I hear his little feet running to my room. I miss his little voice asking if I can lay with him and scratch his back while he falls asleep. I really miss him.
