Mondays

Today after work I went to the doctor. I have been having ear pain and hearing loss since my last cold in December/January. The doc said my ear drums are bulging from fluid again, and gave me more meds. He says now I need to get a hearing test. I sure am hoping the pain goes away soon, although I am not looking forward to how sleepy this decongestant is going to make me.

4th of July weekend

This weekend was pretty uneventful, but very nice and relaxing just the same. For the 4th, (Friday) we went with some new friends, April and Patrick and thier children to a creek near our house. It was nice and shallow, Thomas was able to sit and there were deeper parts for the older kids. Friday night we went back to April and Patricks for fireworks. We stayed till late and had a great time. They are going to become good friends, I can tell.
Saturday we decide to for go the normal trip to NOLA, and try to get some things done around the house. It is so hard to get anything done with the kids right behind us. So we got baseboards nailed down, and the lawn mowed. I went Saturday morning with April for a pedicure and lunch thereafter. It was very nice. Sunday we went to church and our choir leader forgot to tell us to come on stage so we all rushed as the service began. It was kinda funny actually.... had to be there I guess.
Monday we took the kids over to Nick and Cristi's house to swim. We were there for 2 hours maybe and brought the kids home for a nap. We relaxed the rest of the day, and prepared for my work week.

The last week.... very busy days

Last week was very exciting! Monday and Tuesday I went to work. Wednesday we got up and rolled out the door at 0430 to go to Atlanta. We arrived in Atlanta 5 hours later with no problems other than road construction. The kids were really good the whole trip. We took the kids to the Atlanta zoo, and they seemed to enjoy it. I was really greatful that the weather was not too hot.

The meerkats above we took pictures of for Ethan, so he could see what a real meerkat looks like. Then, later that day we met Katie, Don, Robert and Luke at the airport to hang out. (My whole motivation for going on this trip)






We then went to our room. We stayed at NAS Atlanta. It was nice, but a challenge to get the kids to sleep in the same bed. Thursday morning I got up and found out that I am being promoted to E-6! I am SO excited!!! So to celebrate, we went to Steak and Shake for lunch before going to the aquarium.







Thursday night we took the kids to a park in Marietta, close to where we were staying and had icecream. They ate, and then played on the train. Thomas felt like we were cheating him and screamed for a cone till Ryan got him one.





Friday, we drove from Atlanta to NOLA to drop the kids off for a anniversary celebration. My Aunt Julie watched the kids Friday and Saturday night.
