Sorry

Long time...no post. I'm sorry. It has been an exceptionally busy week for us. Here's a recap of our week.

Monday, I caught up the laundry from the weekend.

Tuesday, Doug and I had a meeting at church. Our church cluster has started a couples prayer series. It is a 6 week DVD series about learning to pray as a couple. It is rather enjoyable...except the traveling to Tama every other week. The first week of the series we were by far the youngest couple. This past week there was another couple close to our age...so it wasn't as awkward.

Wednesday, Doug, Dallas, and I went to Iowa City for a "reunion" of our Lamaze class. It was suppose to be a time to share our experiences of labor and delivery with the others that were in our class and with a new class that is about ready to conclude. {We had a few couples the last night of our class come back and speak with us.} Unfortunately, we were the only couple to remember the "reunion" date. It was still fun to see Shari again and show off Dallas!

Thursday, Doug's department got a great jump on planting so Doug didn't come home for lunch. But...it was the perfect day for that to happen because Laura called and invited Dallas and I to lunch! We ate at the Country Club and had wonderful visit. Laura is going to do a garden with us this summer...so we chit-chatted about that some, too.

Friday...today...Dallas went for his 2 month check-up. Here's his current stats: Height - 24 1/2 inches; Weight - 15 lbs 3 oz; Head Circumference - 17 inches. He is in the 90th percentile for his height, and over the 95th percentile for his weight and head circumference! (meaning...he is one of the bigger kids for his age!) He did get his 2 month shots...and did not like them at all. He cried (with tears) for a long time...finally went to sleep for 2 and a half hours, and then started crying again! When Doug got home at 5:30, he took over so I could have a break. I started mowing the yard, and stopped around 7:30 to feed Dallas. Since then...he has been back to his happy self.

We were going to go to a Kernels baseball game tonight, but decided to wait until Dallas felt better. I think we are going to try and go Sunday afternoon. Tomorrow, I am going to finish the yard and Doug is going to work up the garden space.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Until next time...
