Fathers Day

Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Memories
We're having a laid back day here, Kevin and I both didn't sleep well, I had insomnia and he got a migraine. Not fun. He made a special spice rub lastnight, and we're having country style ribs tonight, so that should be yummy. :) The boys gave him gummy bears, his favorite soda, and a card that has a man resting in the clouds, and says "Don't let anything stand between you and a relaxing Fathers Day..." on the front, then says "Except reality.  Enjoy" with the same man bouncing out of his recliner (it even has a spring behind that part) and a kid jumping on the couch, a kid screaming or tantruming, a radio blaring, a dog howling, a glass of spilled milk, and a messy coffee table...…

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Family Fun, Me, Memories
I'm so excited, today is my birthday. No big plans, but I'm excited for this year. I'm 26! It's also kinda a sad day, it's the one year anniversary of my Uncle Lorin's passing. So last year, being a big milestone birthday, wasn't great, but I was releived that it happened on my birthday instead of his daughters or another cousin who was a lot closer to him, they both celebrated birthdays in the last few days... I know he wouldn't want me to be sad. And I wish my Aunt and cousins the best today. He's up there with their two little ones who've gone before. So, I don't have any special plans, but I just feel good, and I'm happy to be enjoying another year.

I was huge and pregnant and so instead of fishing it out I just waited to see what might happen. There was no mention of the lost blanket, which I found odd considering at the time he seemed to be forming an extremely strong attachment to it. A couple weeks ago while watching and loving Joey's forming attachment to all of his receiving blankets which I keep with him at all times as a large makeshift burp cloth, I decided to find a old wire hanger and go fishing. Now Blank had hardly been…
