Check out this crew!

Friday Cammie and I went to a sign language class at the library (free yay!) and it was really good. We learned signs for manners and refreshed some that she already knows. The instructor was really good. After that we had to run a couple of errands and go to CVS. I saved $33 and got 12 extra bucks!! I'm on a roll here. Plus Joe went to Food Lion to get sodas on sale and I had a store coupon so we had a double score!! After that the day kind of got away from me. Saturday we had lots of fun, Alice, Meaghan, Nathan, Emily and Edd came over so we decorate the front trees with Easter eggs. We all had lunch and Donna came over to see Nathan. The guys also came to fix our fridge (again) so we had a pretty full house. After a short nap, Cammie fell asleep on the couch with Joe, neither one of us could believe it, we left to go to Leslie's birthday dinner. That was lots of fun. They did a mystery dinner which I know I could not explain but if you have ever been to one, it's pretty cool! We enjoyed ourselves very much and at just about 830 Cammie got her coat and told Joe that it was time to go home. So on that note we left. Yesterday Joe had to go back to work so Cammie and I hung out at home, she was really sneezing and coughing a lot more so she was very cuddly and we read lots of books and colored and she fell asleep just about instantly at 8. I watched The Amazing Race (sad to see Margie and Luke get eliminated but YAY cowboys!!) and Undercover Boss. It was a rough night because Cammie coughed a lot. I know Pudge wasn't happy about it because I got a lot of heavy sighs from him. But what can you do? Cammie got up early enough to tell me that the sun was waking up and she said it was a beautiful summer day. I just got a big smooch from the diva, that mostly makes up for the lack of sleep! Love her!!!!

Cutie Patootie

Once again the week has flown by. My mom and dad came over Monday to hang out with Cammie. Tuesday Cammie and I had an appointment with Anneliese at Pain Management (well I did but I'm required to bring Cammie with me) so we picked up lunch at Chik FilA for Meaghan and got to hang out with her and Nathan for a little while first. After the doctors appointment we met Mollie and Brady at the playground for a little bit. Luckily they got there first and Mollie got rid of some spiders that were hanging around. Whew!! And then the weather turned to crap again, yesterday we decided to have a lazy do nothing day so we hung out. The Roomstore guy did come to assess our furniture and he fixed the end table and the chair but he could only take pics of the couches to submit. When he left we watched the movie Grown Ups which was really good. It's the first movie in a long time that both of us actually watched the entire thing. I love Netflix on the wii! Last night we didn't get to tub because it was storming out. Today Joe had to go back to work, Cammie went to gymnastics with Morgan. Cammie did really well, she is getting a lot better at waiting her turn. She got to bounce on the trampoline then they did some bar stuff which she didn't seem to care for, she jumped in the foam pit and then they did some balance beam stuff which she did really well at too when she paid attention. She does get distracted easily, I wonder where she gets that from. I was also pretty happy when she went to sit down on the mat after class to get her stamps, the little girl next to her said MOVE and Cammie did not slug her like I thought she would, she just got up. The little girl's mom made the girl apologize and Cammie said Thank you. We went to Weis after that and she did OK in the store. We got the cart with the car on the front and as long as I kept moving all was good. There is no room for hesitation or comparison shopping though. Even with her though I saved $68. We had lunch and now we are watching Phineas and Ferb! (P.S. How come Ferb comes up under spellcheck but Phineas doesn't? Weird....)

Busy, busy, busy

Our girl is ready to go! Just say the word. Thursday we started gymnastics at Skyview in Mt Airy with Morgan and Missi. I like the class much better already than the one we did at Carroll Gymnastics that was through parks and rec. Cammie did really well with waiting her turn also and wanting to try more of the activities. I like the instructor a lot better too. We went to the library afterwards and then when we got home Joe took a break from working in the yard and we went to the park and Cammie played on the playground and we took a walk around a little pond. I forget what the park is called but it wasn't one of our regulars. Friday we got a little bit done around the house and then we met Matt, Jenn, Brooke and Brody at the Harbor so we could go to the aquarium. We got there early and walked around. Cammie walked all the way from the Pier 5 parking garage to the second pavilion (where the fudge is) and back over to the aquarium. We tried to eat dinner at Hard Rock but they weren't seating regular people since they had two "huge" parties coming in so we went to Dick's Last Resort for service with lots of sarcasm. We had all eaten at the one in Myrtle Beach so we knew what to expect and it wasn't that bad. I think it would be fun to work there. Brooke got a hat that said "Future Pole Dancer" and Cammie got one that said "I hide crack in my diaper". Anyway, we headed for the aquarium after that. It wasn't too crowded and we had fun. It was also a gorgeous night out. Saturday our plans fell through during the day but Poppop Fish and Granny Franny came over for dinner and that was lots of fun. Cammie had SO much fun with them. Today Joe got the dirt portion of the project finished (for the most part) and we went to a birthday party for Chris and Mel's little girl Kaylee at Lisbon's fire house. One word, moonbounce. So you know Cammie had a blast. It was fun and we stopped by Donna and Bill's on the way home so Cammie got to hang out with the boys for a little bit too. Busy weekend but lots of fun for sure!!!

She never wants to leave the playground!!

Monday Alice came over when she got off work and after lunch we went to Michael's to get more supplies for the artist. Then we went to Target and as usual when shopping with Alice we found some great deals. They had a bunch of craft stuff on sale for like 2 or 3 bucks. I couldn't believe it. I also can't believe that we went to Target and didn't look at the sale outfits but we'll have to go back another day. Since Cammie was so good we hit the playground afterwards and she had lots of fun. She loves to run and climb!! Alice also got her a pair of roller skates which she likes, she is still practicing in the house with them and she wanted a jump rope which she likes but she doesn't really get it yet. Yesterday Joe had to go to work until our afternoon dentist appointment. We all got our teeth cleaned and this time Cammie did really good. The hygienist is super nice and Cammie let her check her teeth and clean some of the top ones. Joe went back in to work after that so Cammie and I just hung out and actually went to bed early but I still didn't sleep well. Today we got a load of dirt delivered and we also went and checked out some chicken coops and playgrounds. Real exciting stuff! Looking forward to Cammie's gymnastics class tomorrow!

Our little cowgirl

We got to meet Nathan on Friday. He is too sweet and cute! We both had forgotten how sleepy it makes you to hold a sleeping baby!! After our visit we stopped at Friendly's for lunch which was awesome. Yesterday Joe had to work so Cammie and I did some cleaning. Well I cleaned and she undid everything I did. The Uncles came over in the evening and we went to dinner at Bob Evans and then got Rita's for dessert. YUM! It was lots of fun hanging out with them as usual! Today Joe got the oil changed in the vehicles and Cammie rode her bike in the driveway. We put up that orange fence that we got to keep her from riding down the driveway. Well no issues with that with her but Pudge was out with us and he was running towards the fence. We thought he was going to jump over it and all of the sudden he was tangled up in it and did a perfect somersault over it. He bent both poles and ended up on his feet and is fine. No idea how it all came together. Cammie is asleep now and Joe and I are hanging out watching the Amazing Race!

Welcome to the world Nathan!!

Meaghan had baby Nathan!! Cammie and I were going to go see them yesterday but for some reason she pitched a fit and didn't want to go. They went home from the hospital today so we are going to go to their house tomorrow. Provided that we don't need an ark to get there. Yesterday Joe had to work and Cammie kept wanting to go to the playground. I found a consignment store in Libertytown that I wanted to check out so we went there, it's called Butterfly Kisses and was nice but I didn't really find anything for Cammie. Anyway, we passed a park so we stopped there on the way home and it was really nice. It was cold and overcast so the place was empty. Cammie ran around for a while and then we headed for home. She crashed at 7 so I got to chill out and watch Survivor and then actually slept most of the night. Today has been miserable and rainy and gross so we've been stuck home all day. Can't wait to meet Nathan tomorrow!

Cammie, Leslie and Dreamer

Had a pretty good order for my thirtyone party! Thanks to everyone who ordered! The weekend passed kind of in a blur but that seems to be pretty standard. Cammie has been on a real puzzle kick and she is doing great with putting them together. She is also getting better at picking up her toys. You have to remind her a few (sometimes repeatedly) but she will do it. Joe has been trying to get some stuff done around the house which seems to be ongoing. Cammie still asks for her bink but there have been no meltdowns about it and she is going to sleep without it with no problem (when she finally does go to sleep). So we are making progress somewhere at least. It was funny though, yesterday we passed a bunch of geese and she wanted to stop to see if they had her bink since the duck took it. Yesterday morning she got to ride Leslie's new horse Dreamer and she loved that!! She did really well. After that Joe took us to breakfast at Bob Evans! YUM!! Going to try to run some errands today and maybe go to the playground if it warms up! Meaghan is at the hospital, her water broke this morning so hopefully we will get to meet Nathan soon!!

Fun at the park

Whew it's been a rough week. I got some kind of vile stomach bug that is still here. Tuesday I had to go get a new phone which resulted in the loss of all my contacts and all the apps and everything. Such a pain!!! Wednesday Kristen watched Cammie so that we could go to Sams in Frederick. Would have liked to have run some more errands while we were there but my stomach was not cooperating. I think yesterday was the worst day because Joe went back to work. Today we haven't done much other than walk down to the goats to see if they ate carrots. Just for future reference if anyone cares, they do not. I do feel better today so I'm hoping that I'm almost better.
