May 15, 2007

Sorry, I was so distraught yesterday over the doctor debacle (which I now have Adam's physical and Alex's booster shots scheduled with Ellen's doctor in June) that I forgot to post pictures. Pictures from the MS walk are on the MS blog (link over there on the right). And Mother's Day pictures:



There are more Mother's Day pictures on the flickr site.

7:00 Drop off.

7:40 Took the boys to swimming while Jeremy fed Ariel something orange and waffles.

Swimming went well. Here are videos. As you can see, Adam is swimming and floating well, he just needs to relax when he's on his back. And Alex is still practicing kicking, both on his belly and back. But I'd say at this point they both are swimming like fishes.

Adam:



Alex:



8:30 Ariel met us at the pool, we went home.

9:45 Ellen and Ted came over, we biked to the library for story time. Ellen took the boys in the library and Ariel and I went and picked up some pictures and a prescription.

10:30 Ariel and I made it to the library.

11:00 After story time we went to the coffee shop. The kids had soy milk and veggie chips for a snack.

11:30 Got home, Ariel went down for a nap.

1:00 Ariel woke up. For lunch she had string cheese, no banana and a few cheerios.

1:30 Grandpa was visiting, so he helped us ride our bikes to the post office to mail Grannie Shirley's birthday card (she'll be 89 on Friday). On the way home, we stopped by the elementary school and now Alex is registered for kindergarten. Yay, now I don't have to home school him! We took a quick peek at the classrooms, they look very nice.

3:30 When we got home, Grandpa left and the kids played outside.

A girl and her truck:

Ariel, the snot-nosed kid:



Adam McAdam:



Ariel, having fun on the slide right before her shoes stuck and she went down head first into my knee and got a bruise on her forehead:



4:30 Pick up

Ariel said a bunch of words today - waffle, juice, milk, poop, sock, shoe, Alex, Adam, Ted, side (outside), ball

And Becky wanted quarterly reports on my found money (aka treasure hunting) and I'm now up to $96.02. Not bad :)

Tell me about this found money thing. Just found change and stuff and you're up to that much? Really? Details please.

Oh and I had all intentions of contributing to your MS Walk deal-i-o. Is it too late?

Hey Ames,

My found money is money I've found since July of last year. My big thing was the 10,000 yen which converted to $75. I've also found two $5 bills. And the rest is coins, LOTS of pennies. And since I'm OCD, I'm putting it all in a separate saving account earning 4% interest. And sometime soon I'm going to buy something frivolous with it.

And no, it's not too late for the MS walk. My family did a little 5k MS walk in Boulder, the big 50 mile walk is not until August. Thanks!

I'm impressed with the found $$ almost making it to $100. Great pics. The boys are definitely "fishes" amazing.
