An anniversary and an ear ache

HJ and I got married four years ago today on June 25, 2005 at 5:00. I loved all the fives. And, I love my sweet hubbie...thanks for an amazing first four years of marriage, love! Tonight, we are going to eat at Automatic Slims and to see "Wicked" at the Orpheum here in Memphis to celebrate. HJ bought the tickets as a surprise, but, as usual, I figured it out. But, I still think it was a great gift.

Here is a picture of William "reading" yesterday after we got home from the doctor. He had his first ear infection, but he seems much better today after a little Tylenol and Amoxicillin.

Four years ago, on our honeymoon...aren't we cute?

Five Months Today

Big Little Man

Today, I broke down an bought some baby gear. It is so big in our already small house, but is folds down flat and can go under the crib. I'm hoping I can put William in it for a bit in the kitchen while I'm cooking, cleaning, etc. (and HJ is just hoping that I will cook and clean). I think William likes it, but his feet are his true favorite toy of the moment.

We're Back...

I did a terrible job of taking pictures during the trip, but here are a few. We had a wonderful, wonderful time with both of our families. We relaxed, read, walked on the beach, ate great seafood, and avoided the sun whenever possible. I think we might be the least tan people ever to return from the beach.

In other news, in a moment of weakness I agreed to teach the four year old VBS class at our church all week this week. What was I thinking? 16-18 four year olds...and me. It could be a disaster. We'll see.

Friday

There's not much for me to report here this week. I kicked off my vacation right by going to the dentist on Monday and the OBGYN on Tuesday. I think the dental hygienist was out for blood, literally. On Wednesday and Thursday, I did get in a little relaxing. I ordered The Help specifically to read at the beach next week, and I have already finished it. I started it on Saturday and finished it on Tuesday...I couldn't put it down. (You have a lot of reading time when you are still nursing five times a day.) So, now I am trying to find another beach book. I bought Same kind of different as me. yesterday, so I'll see how that is.

William is doing great, although I really don't have any new pictures this week (sorry everyone who just wants to see the pictures). We have just been enjoying some quality time together. We started solid foods, and yesterday we tried green beans. He had done so well with the other foods that I thought that maybe he just was not picky. However, the green beans disproved my theory. He still took every bite, but then he would just let the green goop ooze slowly back out of his mouth. I think every time I offered him a bite he thought, ooh, maybe this bite will be better. I can't blame him though because I tried a bite myself and it was just what you would think pureed green beans with no salt or seasoning would taste like...yuck.

We are heading to the beach this weekend for some relaxation. My parents gave me a spa day there for graduation (thanks again!) and I cannot wait. Hopefully, the eight hour drive will not be a disaster.

Well, that's all for now. I should have some beach pictures soon. Happy Friday!
