Weeks Later!

May 8th! I don't even remember back that far a lot has happened since then!

First my parents went on vacation to Tennessee and the Carolinas. Brode, Libby, and I were all alone for the week! Libby gets very jealous and missed her family so she was being difficult running away and stealing clothes! Brode still had pneumonia so getting him up and ready for day care on time and giving him medicine and getting enough sleep was a large challenge but we made it through! I had finals the day after they got back and I have to say they all went pretty well! It was nice to be done, but I am also taking a 3 week interim to get a general ed course over with! I need an A so that I can make the Dean's List so hopefully my exam today got me off to a good start! I'm pretty confident.

Finale and Mother's Day was also in that long time span. Saturday night (may 9th) I went to Finale and got up on stage for the alumni song, Celebrate, but I couldn't remember the words! It was still fun though and the show was great! Brode stayed at Grandma Beth's that night so I got to sleep in on Mothers Day! Brode has made me fingerpaints at grandma beth's and at day care so I got those on Sunday. We went to the cottage for the afternoon with my mom's family since my parents were still gone and celebrated Mother's Day.

The weekend after THAT (wow this is a long time) my cousin Tom got married. I read in the wedding so we had a full weekend of rehearsal and dinner, the wedding, the reception, and gift opening afterwards. Brode got to stay with daddy that whole weekend and hang out with him. Everything went pretty well!

This week seemed a lot longer with my 3 hour interim class every day! It is a long time to sit and learn about geography! Tiff came here from Manitowoc on Wednesday to hang out with Brode and I, and then Kelsey stopped by to see the little guy as well! We started talking about planning some things for the summer so hopefully we can get people together to go to all the fun summer places like six flags and noah's ark!

This weekend is already memorial day weekend! I have to work tonight and tomorrow morning, then we're going to head up to the cottage on Sunday morning! This will be Brode's first overnight trip up there! Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can sit outside!

Gramps started giving Brode popsicles and he sure loved them! Brode has been doing well! He is back to his giggly happy self! We are still doing breathing treatments after the pneumonia to help treat the asthma that seems to be causing it. Brode has also started jabbering more so grandpa, daddy, and I are all working on getting him to say our names first! He has become very animated and yells very loudly. Brode has also started to sleep on his side and stomach so when he rolls over he gets his legs through the bars and gets stuck so he can't roll over. He gets quite startled at 4 in the morning when he is stuck so he wakes up crying but goes right back to bed when I roll him over!

Everyone have a great memorial day weekend and I'll try to update and put pictures up more often!

Here is a video from a while ago of Brode eating, he sure chomps with those teeth!

This is a little video from this morning of Brode chatting and playing. He seems to be getting so big! I'll have to remember to film them the other way because you can't rotate them like pictures!
