I feel old......

What a week! I started my Physical Therapy for my foot on Tuesday. Shouldn't have to go too much, but it makes me feel old! The thing that I am most upset about is that I can't wear much other than gym shoes. Now, I HATE shoes and I hate shoes with backs on them even more. I am a barefoot or sandal, or slip-on shoe kind of gal. So having to wear gym shoes sucks. Could be 8 weeks before I am all better and can comfortably wear what I want. I know, I know, it could be worse. Whatever.
Rick and I have also decided to finish the basement. We've been thinking about it since the day we looked at this house and thought we may as well just do it now. The contractors are starting Wed and will be done by Thanksgiving. In the meantime it's going to drive me nuts to have these guys in my house for weeks, but hopefully totally worth it.
Here is what my week with the kids looked like........
Mr. Jacob has been cranky all week. Who knows why. He seems to get really frustrated when I can't figure out what he wants. In this picture he wanted me to play with his cars, but I was feeding Lydia so he had to wait. He's not too patient. All he wants to do is watch the Shrek movie. He's even asking for it by name now. He refuses to say "mommy", but will ask for Shrek. What a punk!
Saturday Rick's cousin Joe got married. It was gorgeous day for a wedding. The ceremony was outside at a gazebo. A little chilly, but very nice. The reception was a blast. Rick and I haven't been out like that in forever and we made the best of it. The kids were at home with my sister so we drank and danced all night long. Rick and his cousins acted out the Barry Manilow song "Copacabana" as part of the best man's toast. Rick sang. Too funny. I tried to get it on video with my camera, but it's so dark and then cuts off in the middle.
We got home at 1am after a quick stop at White Castle! Lydia was up at 6:30. She hasn't woken up before 7:30am in weeks. Rick and I laid in bed moaning and groaning from aches and pains from dancing. Here is where I felt very old. I literally couldn't move! My back, hips, and thighs were killing me. I had to have my coffee and some Ibuprofen before I felt alive again. We won't be going out like that again for a while!

Here's a picture of the happy couple. They walked into the reception to the song "Highway to hell"! Ha ha!!!!
Congratulations Jamie and Joe!!!!!!! We are so happy for you guys. You deserve all the happiness in the world.

Rick's new toy

So Rick has talking for a loooooooooong time about getting a new car. As most of you know, he drives a ton for work and his car has almost 270K miles on it. After lots of debating over driving it until it dies or get rid of it now while someone can use it, we chose the latter. Rick springs this on me Friday night on the way home from Skyline. I thought he was going to get a car in a few weeks. Well, he got one yesterday. Was going to get a newer "old" one (like a 2007), but that didn't make sense with the awesome financing offers they have on new cars. He came home yesterday with a 2009 Toyota Camry - silver. It's very nice and Rick's like a little kid. I am already sick of hearing about this car!!! This is his first brand new car. Oh and we already have his old Camry sold. Sorry Linda........Rick's nephew is buying it.

The weekend was good. The first weekend in a while we didn't have any plans. Well, we were supposed to walk in the Children's Hospital Walk, but since I fell a few weeks ago and am wearing an aircast there was no way I was walking! Of course Rick was gone yesterday for hours buying a new car, but whatever.

Jacob has started this extremely annoying screaming thing. He screams all the time - when he is mad, when he wants something, whatever. How do I make it stop????? I can't stand it!!!!!

Lydia's Baptism

Here is my first official "real" post! Hope it works.
Sunday Lydia was baptised at St. Simon church. It was the quickest baptism I have ever been at. Took about 10 mins. The Godparents are Rick's sister Cristi and his brother Jim. Lydia was a good girl. Didn't cry at all, but did throw up all over her pretty gown. No big shocker there! After the ceremony we had the family back to the house. It was a good time had by all. Here's some pictures of the day and a few more recent ones of the kiddos.














Is it too soon for an eyebrow wax? Poor Jacob and his uni-brow!
