Day 74
We made it to Dutch Wonderland today only to have it start pouring after 3 or 4 rides. We decided to head home early and got rain-date tickets to go again. Although the weather was a disappointment, we all still had fun. Both boys were surprised by the whole adventure and had a good time. I left soaked but happy that I got to take them, even for a short time. I went with Holly and her kids and she was kind enough to take both kids home with her afterwards so I could rest. Unfortunately, drinking a cup of Starbucks for the first time in month made it difficult for me to nap. After this blog, I’ll give it 5 minutes before I pass out on the couch.
I also want to thank Rich and Terry, our neighbors and parents of one of Ty’s good friends, for watching the boys on numerous occasions when we couldn’t quite make it home on time. I feel like there are so many people that have helped out and I don’t want to forget anyone.
This weekend brings an afternoon at Lowe’s to pick out bathroom fixtures. Yes, we decided to remodel our master bath in the midst of all of this. I know it sounds crazy, but I get to go to the hospital and come home to a new bathroom. What could be better than that? Ty’s soccer practice and Kieran’s 2nd birthday are also big highlights. Again, I’m savoring every moment before I get whisked away again. If there is one word of advice I will continue to give, it is to never take advantage of the little moments. There is nothing better than when Kieran rubs my fuzzy head and laughs or Ty makes funny faces with me. I’m off to hang out with Ty. More later.
sounds like a perfect weekend – special time with loved ones and friends and rest for you too….we love you!
Hi Jess -
You looked good at the Bash last night. I’m glad you are able to get out and have a good time.

Jess – so glad to hear you’re making the most of your time “on the outside”. Happy Birthday to Kieran!!!
Happy Birthday to Kieran! I’ve been thinking about you Jess.
You are never far from our thoughts! Unfortunately we are away at camp for the summer, otherwise I would offer to help out. Maybe this Fall.
