vacation!!


we are on our first out of state vacation! while we miss our dogs, we know they are having fun with their new best friend who is staying with them.


liam has become an expert on all things beach. he has his shovel and digs in the sand. he knows the water is called the ocean, and we've finally convinced him that the beach of full of sand, not dirt. we got to ride a bus yesterday, which was also terribly exciting.


liam is having a great time with his grandparents too. he pawpaw bought him a kite, which was not overly successful at the beach, but liam didn't mind.
our printed portfolios are now at the agency, so we are completely ready to go. just waiting. and waiting.

spring is finally here!

still very busy. liam had his first non-check up visit to the pediatrician. he had periorbital cellulitis, which ended up being not too big of a deal (at the 24 hr check up, we were told we could have been on our way to the hospital.) but the augmentin was almost worse - severe tummy problems then a horrible amoxicillin rash! only my child would get such a thing.

the new portfolio is FINALLY finished. the printer didn't have the little bindy thingees (which you would think they would have plenty of.) but the portfolio has been done for a little while, so we have been available online for about 2 weeks now. maybe 3. we've already had 2 "excitements," one of which we didn't get because we live in the "wrong" state and the other because the situation is too unstable at this point. oh, and our other excitement is that the state lost my fingerprints. the hwy patrol and the FBI has seen them, but our agency has not. bill's got through with no problem. go figure.

liam is really starting to enjoy school. he talks non-stop about his friend emma. he, actually, just talks non-stop. he loves to label things - mom's car, dad's truck, liffey's ball.

we went to the baseball game with grandma, grandpa and puh-la (his favorite friend paula.) his grandpa gave him a glove and he talks about it all the time. he also talks about running the bases after the game.

we also had fun at our first flyball tournament of the year in oklahoma. plenty of space to run around for liam! and he had his friend puh-la and beth in the camper too, so that was an added bonus.

looking forward to a laid back weekend....
