Oh, the places you'll go

Oh, the places you'll go when it's only a stone's throw
to get to the bank or to lunch or a show
When at lunch you can go to three places or four
And you only use a gallon of gas and no more

Oh, to get to work, Starbucks, doggy daycare and preschool
It takes no time at all, which is very, very cool

Preschool for Beau is something he loves
He fit in the first day like a hand in a glove
Ms. Betty is his teacher and she gives him a treat
From the treasure chest he chooses each day, which is neat

Brayden and grandma are having alone time
They're checking out the sites and doing art all the time
One is much better than two for grandma
But next week Brayden goes to school for the fall

It's been raining for days so the pool is no fun
But unpacking is going way better without sun

Things are falling into place in the house, but there's more
And more, and more unpacking to do, that's for sure.

What if your kids don't like water?

I remember vividly driving home down I-435 one day in 2003. I was pregnant with Brayden and talking to Karen on the phone. Just before I hit the Grandview Triangle, Karen says, "So what are you going to do if the baby doesn't like the water?" Now let me pontificate for just a minute. This is what I love about our dear friends. They call it like they see it. No holds barred. If your best friends can't be straight up with you, then who can? I know that many people don't understand this, for instance, the time Shawn told me I was not holding off my baby weight very well (in fact, I was pregnant with Beau and Shawn just found out). And Karen trying to help me come to grips with the reality that I may have children that don't like water. . . So I remember that day my immediate and very matter-of-fact response was, "That's not an option." Seriously, people, can you imagine Nate and me having kids who DON'T like the water? It's a way of life f...

Heading across country

The boys giggle in bed. Nate checks directions for tomorrow. And I update the blog. We fit our family roles to a tee. Tonight we are in Jackson, Mississippi (M-I-SS-I-SS-I-PP-I). Brayden knows how to spell Mississippi. We're more than half way toward our final destination of Destin, Florida. If all goes well we'll be there by just after lunch tomorrow. Every day for the past three months Beau has asked if today is the day for vacation. And today was the day! My dad was absolutely as excited as Beau. I hear he (Dad) hasn't slept well in two nights just thinking about it. Those two are like two peas in a pod. I can't wait to get to the condo and for them, Brayden, Mazy and Ele to head off to the beach. How much fun there is waiting for us. So I'll try to post some while we're away. I don't know if I'll have a connection. I sooo miss working at Sprint in times like this. It's hard to live without an air card once you get used to being always connected. ...
