I've wondered if I should post for a few days now. I hate to post without pictures and my camera has NOT been on my mind lately. Things have been really stressful with AIMEE's BRIDAL SHOWER coming up - lots of planning, making, worrying, forgetting.... and at the same time so much to worry about and research about Maxie's kindergarten placement. Every day I move between frustrated to mad to tearful to exhausted as I read, research, learn and then face up to the fact that while inclusion in a typical Kindergarten class is not only what is statistically BEST...

Our first full day in Washington was to be the BIG SIGHTSEEING DAY. We had planned to take the metro to Union Station and pick up a sightseeing trolley that would circle us through the monuments, allowing us to get on and off as we needed. The first adventure was the metro which was really clean and beautiful. Logan loved riding on the train. He was fascinated with how fast the walls went by, that is, until he realized he could see himself in the window. We got to the station and got our tickets and boarded the trolley. Like...

Ok, to say I'm a BAD BLOGGER would be an understatement. I love doing this, I like to write, I want to share, but why the heck does loading and placing pictures have to take so dang long? I sit down for 10 minutes and nothing gets done. (BIG PITY PARTY SIGH HERE) Ok. So, we came back from DC a couple weeks ago now and we miss Aimee terribly. But boy did we have adventures and I really can't wait to go back! That first day in DC, after a lot of hugging, we went to Georgetown to walk... Continue reading

As expected, Logie was soooo excited to go on a plane. He chattered all the way from home to the airport and was very helpful finding airplane signs so I would know which way to go. Once at the airport we were faced with the first "big scary challenge" - the escalator. He ended up in a crouch but made it much to the amusement of the people around us. The second "big scary challenge" was the security checkpoint where he found it quite amusing that he had to take off his shoes. And then, we had to wait. Sometimes... Continue reading

For everyone worried about Maxie I thought I would post a quick update. On Wednesday night/Thursday morning about 1am Maxie woke up and was breathing really hard. We were really worried and I almost called and woke up Aimee, but he had been fine when he went to bed, so we decided to give him a nebulizer treatment that we still had from last winter and see what happened. He fell asleep on my chest so I dozed off. When we woke up he was no better so I called the doctor and got him in to the first appointment... Continue reading

This past week was supposed to be FUN week, VACATION week. Instead it turned out to be SICK week. Tuesday was the first day of vacation, the last week of summer. For this day I had planned to have a Logie/Mommy day filled with fun things to do. We made it quite a bit of the way through the day too. First stop, breakfast at the Blue Moon Diner. These were the CHOCOLATIEST pancakes I'd ever seen! Logan couldn't finish them but he tried really, really hard. Next stop was Supercuts for Logan's first professional haircut in a very long...
