music

 

Today marks my last "full" week of maternity leave - I go back to work Nov. 4th. Can't believe how fast it has flown by. Mason is home with us again today  - it is day #12 in a row. How I love love love all the crazy things he says and does - he has really been into singing the past few days, and bringing me his toys saying "listen mommy it makes music!" His favorite songs lately are "Row row row your boat" and "the itsy bitsy spider." So cute listening to his versions. (row row row your boat, gently down the street!).

Love all the funny things he says...so seriously. "Mommy Bubba is sad" (this is his toy horse) Why Mason? "He wants his mommy and daddy back." Where are they? "They are working at the courthouse and naitonal guard."  He is such a sweet, caring little boy.

Chase contiues to grow and grow every day. At his checkup last week he was in the 92nd percentile for weight and 72 for height. He is so unbelievably mellow. Goes with the flow. Doesnt get too worked up when his brother gives him lots of kisses -- sometimes a bit too hard.Tons of smiles and coos. Is rolling over onto his back whenever we do tummy time.

Had a busy past week and weekend: ECFE, trip to Cavalier to see my friend Sammy and tour her new GORGEOUS home, SPA day Thursday, the Barker family over Friday night -- the kids had so much fun playing together! Mason keeps asking when Dillon is coming to play again and stay at his house-- Saturday morning got up early and went to the UND homecoming parade. Then a quick trip to Target, out to eat, and hit the road for Jamestown to our nephew Cole Bugs' 4th birthday party.

Mason and Daddy had such a great time swimming. "Just one more minute mommy."  Over and over again. Poor Bobby threw out his back - really badly - on Friday. He can hardly walk. Went to the ER Sunday in GF on our way home, and after waiting over 2 hours they said he might require back surgery... He is seeing his PCP today - hope they have MUCH better news! 

Bobby is off to Bismark this week for work - left this morning, comes home Thursday night. We will carve pumpkins Thurs night, then he has drill Fri-Sun. We miss him so much when he is gone but appreciate all he does for our family.
