Falling apart...

Our house, that is. Well, only a small part of it. Our ceiling in the living room started leaking the other day. Dave figured out where it was coming from and we were able to get it to stop. Now, part of the ceiling is torn away. Of course, they can't come see it until Monday. Of course, we are having guests this weekend. Oh the joys of being a homeowner.

Not all homeowner related developments have been bad though. Dave has a new toy. His battery powered trimmer/weed whacker. We also bought some soil and grass seed to take care of our missing trees. Our yard is getting there, slowly but surely.

Hey! Guess What?!? Vincent has an ear infection!! The tube in his left ear came out, and now he has an infection. No good. It sounds like it's my fault. I have been putting him under water at swim lessons. I thought I was helping him, guess not. He has to wear ear plugs for a while in the water...that should go over well.

Father's Day is this weekend. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you what an incredible father by husband is.

First and foremost, he is a very ambitious, dedicated and loyal provider for our family. He takes his responsibility as a father and husband very seriously. For that, I am grateful. Vincent will reap the benefits of this his whole life. Hopefully, he will look to his father as a shining example of a good man.

Second, he's a goof. He never hesitates to really play with our son. We all laugh a lot in our house, and nothing is sweeter.

He is an equal partner of mine in this parenting gig. We share all aspects of the baby rearing and it makes for a much happier family. Sure, he does a little more disciplining and I do a little more cuddling. However, our son is well loved and I suppose that's what really matters.

Dave, you are an amazing father and a wonderful husband. Vincent and I are so blessed to have you. Happy Father's Day!!!

I will leave you with some "Daddy and Me" pictures! Enjoy!

We love you too Pampaw and Papa!! Happy Father's Day!!

Vintage Vincent Part 2

Ok, I'm going to upload the rest of these cell phone pictures. They will lead up to the present, so they aren't all "vintage." Daycare is getting better. He seems to like it there. It's all boys, so he is having fun! He made his first picture for us yesterday! I was so excited, it's hanging in my cube. He has "take one" and "take two" because he messed up. It works out though, now daddy and I both get one

Isn't it lovely??

Also, we had major storms on Tuesday night. This is what happened to the tree in our front yard. We had another one uprooted in the backyard, but it was dead anyways.

On to Vincent....

Vintage Vincent

First, I would like to say that this morning offically sucked. Vincent started a new daycare today. He cried when I left, he never does that. I felt so horrible leaving him with someone he didn't know as he watched me walk past the window. I know that in a week or two, this will all be normal for him again. It is agonizing though. Geez...I find myself again thinking that no one every really tells you hard this will all be. It sounds stupid to say that, because 'DUH' raising children is hard. But damn....

OK, on to the real point of this post. My cell phone is clogged with pictures of Vincent. So many in fact, that when I want to take a new one, I have to do some strategic manuvering to get it done. I have to get them out, but they need to go somewhere safe. Today, I bring you Vintage Vincent. It will be a cell phone chronical of his life so far. It will take several posts...because I have taken SO MANY PICTURES. Enjoy!!

We will start with a fun one...I have no clue how far a long I am here or why I took this picture...
Now on to the old-school Vincent you have been promised. This first one is one of my very favorites...

This is the day he went to the hospital. I knew he looked bad, but it's pretty obvious here...

I hope you have enjoyed Part 1....more to come!
