Weekend

Well, it was a pretty uneventful weekend here. The weather took a turn for the worse Friday night, but luckily Z and I were able to get up to the Maple Festival for some rides and food before the storms moved in. Z had a great time and we ran into one of his friends, Jenna, there. Saturday I got to visit with my sis and my nephew. It is amazing how well he is doing after having such a rough start to his little life. I believe he was in the nicu (the first time) for about 93 days. My sis and her hubby are true troopers. I can not even imagine going through what they have gone through. N is a lovey cuddly little guy now. He is up to around 15 lbs (starting weight was around 2 lb 4 oz) and he is doing great. He's a recent picture of the little guy....he really could be playing for the Browns some day!

Springtime

Well, Spring is finally starting to come around. This weekend was beautiful with lots of sunshine and highs in the 50's and 60's. All the neighborhood kids are starting to come out of winter hibernation to reunite with their summertime friends. It is amazing how we really don't see any one in the neighborhood all winter, but come spring/summer/early fall, we spend so much time together, hanging out in the street, watching the kids play.
We have been taking great advantage of the warmer weather to let Z go run off all the energy he has been saving up all winter long. He loves the outdoors: going on adventures through the woods, riding his power wheels around, riding his bike and digging for worms. I am really looking forward to getting him in the pool again this summer. Hopefully we can make a swimmer out of him yet!
The little bean is doing well. I am getting bigger and bigger by the day, and I know I have many more days ahead. For some reason, I think this one may be a girl. Just my prediction for now. I will be happy with healthy! I guess we'll see come June! That is one of the few doctor's appointments I actually look forward to!
