The best of intentions...

I really do THINK about updating this all the time...

07/06 - Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry came over on their way home from visiting Grandpa Nick in the hospital. (Grandpa Nick is home & doing well after a pacemaker was put in) 07/07 - Happy Birthday Puppa!!! After work, we went to dinner at Grandma & Puppa's. Sean had fun with the cupcakes & as always, blowing out the candles. 07/08 - Grandma came over for dinner & to hang out with Seany. 07/09 - Daddy left for up north after work. :( We met Grandma, Aunt Mary, Sarah & Amanda for dinner at Olga's. I went to the doctors after dinner for a UTI & Seany went to Grandma's house to play. 07/10 - We went to the ENT for a checkup. The fluid is still behind Sean's ear drum in his left ear. So, he has to go back in for tubes. There's a very small chance that this water will go away on its own, but please pray that it does. We see the ENT on 09/18 - one week before the surgery is scheduled - and if the fluid is gone, we can cancel the procedure. After the appt, we went to breakfast with Aunt Paula. After breakfast, we went to Grandma's work to play Curious George on the computer. That night we met Connor & Aunt Annette at Red Robin. We went to Babies R Us afterwards and then Aunt Annette went to Kohls while me, Sean & Connor went to putt putt. We were suppose to go home after putt putt, but Sean desperately wanted to have an adventure at Grandma's, so we went there. Late night... 07/11 - Sean & I went to Great Lakes Crossing with Aunt Annette, Connor, Aiden & Liam. Sean passed out in the car on the way home, but only took a 20-30 minute nap and never fell asleep again. We went to dinner at Outback with Grandma. 07/12 - Seany went to church & came home with Grandpa Jim. Daddy came home around 1:00 & we were SO excited to see him. The night before I said, "I miss daddy". Sean replied, "Awww, don't cry. I will take care of you". :) 07/15 - We went to see "Horton Hears a Who" with Aunt Nicole (cousin), Angelina & Brianna. Sean did great. He usually loves climbing on the play area when we go out to GLC, but he was determined to be miserable because he couldn't ride the rides that cost $.75 a piece exactly when he wanted to. He's very strong willed! We went to Aunt Sally's afterwards & saw Aunt Amanda, Riley & Ella. That night we met Sue & her family at Ram's Horn to see Dora (kind of). Sean had a blast dancing with all the kids. 07/16 - We went to dinner at Grandma & Puppa's. Daddy was suppose to have a bowling tournament, but there weren't enough people, so he got home around 8:30. Yay! 07/17 - Grandma & Puppa came over for dinner. Sean was missing them. Grandma & Sean made a BIG mess with the moon sand. 07/18 - We went to breakfast with Grandpa Jim and then played at home until nap time. After nap, we went to the Bishops. Sean played outside with the kids the whole time. He was awesome. 07/19 - Happy Birthday Paige! Daddy & Sean went home with Grandpa Jim & Grandpa Nick from church because I had a baby shower. After Sean's nap, Daddy & Grandpa Jim dropped us off at Liam's 4th birthday party on their way to clean offices. Sean, Aiden & Liam had fun playing with all of Liam's presents. Last night, we just hung out around the house & played. Tonight, we're going to the Tiger's game with our small group. Hope the thunder storms hold off!! Weird July weather we're having! Happy Birthday to Livie yesterday and Uncle Mike today!

Busy, busy, busy

We are loving the Summer (eventhough last week's high was like 70) and staying very busy!

Last Wednesday (in addition to our regular routine), Sean & Daddy had a guys night while I went to my friend Andrea's for a girls night. On Thursday night, Sean, Daddy & I went to Olga's for dinner and then to the Silver Cinemas at Macomb Mall to see "Monsters vs. Aliens". It was Sean's first time in a movie theater. He lasted a full hour and loved getting his very own popcorn & drink. If the movie was Wubbzy or Caillou, I'm convinced he would've stayed the whole time. Daddy was home on Friday for the 4th of July holiday. We spent the morning together and then Sean & I went to Grandma's while Daddy & Grandpa Jim cleaned the offices. While we were at Grandma's, Uncle Frankie, Aunt Mary, Dakota & Katie arrived for their weekend visit. Sean was a little unsure of Uncle Frankie at first, but warmed up to him easily. I'm sure he reminds him of his Puppa. Sean loved Katie & immediately wanted her to play with him. That night, Max, Livie, Austin, Paige & Kiara came over to do a road rally. Sean stayed at Puppa & Grandma's cause I don't think he would've survived getting in & out of the car 10 times. After everyone went home, we went to Grandma & Puppa's for a bonfire. Saturday morning, Sean & I went to Great Lakes Crossing with Grandma, Aunt Mary & Katie. Uncle Mike, Max, Livie, Austin & Jackson met us there for lunch at Rain Forest Cafe. Sean was over tired when he got home for a nap at 3:00 and we had to wake him up at 6:30!!! We spent the 4th of July evening at the horse track. Sunday, after church, we went to St. Clair for Alan's graduation. Paula, Dan, Brittany & Ryan are here from Georgia until next week. It was like a graduation party/family reunion! Sean loved playing on the jungle gym there. He also went on a "nature walk" with Daddy. Last night, we went to dinner with Frankie, Mary, Dakota & Katie (along with Grandma & Puppa). They went to Cedar Point today & then headed back to North Carolina. Sean was relieved to stay home with Susie today. After a busy weekend and school last week, he was happy just to play on the deck in his blow up pool. :)
