Leaving for T-Town

I am leaving tomorrow for Tulsa.  I have been a little nervous about driving by myself 6 hours with just Samuel and George, but I am hoping for the best.  The only bad part is that last night I started to come down with a cold.  My throat is killing me.  I couldn't sleep last night because it hurt so much to swallow.  In the middle of the night I was convinced that I had strep throat, but today it hurts but is killing me.  I have only had strep throat once and I will never forget that pain.  My stomach is also very upset and I now have a running nose.  I feel like it might be allergy related, but since my stomach hurts too, I am not sure.  

Anyway, now I am a little more nervous about driving since I am not feeling great.  Dave is trying to convince me that everything is going to be fine, which I am sure it will.  

We will be gone for a week, so I am not sure if I will be doing any posting.  

I am going to head to bed now and hopefully sleep off whatever it is that I caught.  

Happy Birthday Laura!

We wanted to wish Laura a very happy birthday today.  We hope she has a great day.  Love you!

It is Friday and I am so ready for the weekend.  If it stays nice out, I think I may take Samuel to the zoo.  

I am pretty sure that Samuel is teething again.  He is drooling like crazy and last night he woke up a few times crying.  He is still sleeping and it is 8:10.  I have to be somewhere at 9, so I am going to have to wake him up at 8:20 if he isn't up already.  I love the fact that he is sleeping in more.  I can get so much done in the morning.  

Well, I have errands to run and lots to do.  We have a pretty busy weekend before I leave for Tulsa on Sunday.  

Have a great weekend.

Is it really Wednesday?

I can't believe how fast this week is going.  Today we have to get an oil change in the car because Samuel, George and I are going to Tulsa all next week.  It is going to be my first road trip with just Samuel and George.  I bought a few videos for the car and hopefully that will keep Samuel occupied until he falls asleep for a nap.  We are leaving on Sunday afternoon.  We haven't been to Tulsa since last year at this time.  I have lots of stuff to pack, but I will probably wait to do all of that on Saturday.  

It is 8 am and Samuel is still asleep.  I can't believe it.  He went to bed at 7:30 last night. 

Hopefully the rain will stay away and I can get in a good run today.  

I am going to enjoy my few more minutes of morning while Samuel is sleeping.  

Happy Memorial Day

We are going to relax and maybe run some errands today.  It is yucky outside.  I am not a huge fan of the rain and it looks like it is going to rain all day.  

Here is Samuel in his new car.  

Ready for the weekend...

Although it has been really warm here, the last few days have had a nice breeze, so I have opened the windows in the house.  Yesterday, Samuel and George thought it was the coolest thing to have the windows open and they sat by the window for a really long time in the morning.  I couldn't grab the camera fast enough to get a picture of Samuel with his arm around George, but I did get these few really cute pictures.  

Last Sunday, Samuel was taking a nap, which lasted about 3 and a half hours.  When Dave went to get him from his crib, he had cut his eye and had a black eye.  I don't know who snuck into his room and punched him in the face, but it was pretty amazing.  It looks much better now, but here is the end of the black eye:

Just a random picture:

Off for my run.

Hip Hip Hooray

Samuel slept through the night until 7:15 this morning.  I woke up twice but went right back to sleep.  He barely coughed at all last night.  I think either it is allergies or a small cold that he caught and is fighting off.  

Samuel is really trying to communicate a lot lately.  Not only do I think he is forming more words, he is really signing a lot of stuff.  He regularly signs more, food/eat and milk.  I looked up online last night more signs to try to teach him.  I feel like he is more of a sponge now then ever.  It seems like everything I say or do he picks up on and repeats it.  

I think we are going to relax again today, so he can get more rest and we will be all healthy for the long weekend.
