A Month Passes

OK - so it seems if I don't post everyday, or at least every other day, a month passes before I know it. Here's a brief run-down of our life in May.

• We attended Olivia's 3rd birthday party at the Johnson home along with 3 other families from church. We had hot dogs, yummy taco soup, and chips & salsa. And of course there was cake and ice cream.
• Dad was here for a week-long visit.
• We had company for a cook-out and swimming on Saturday, the 29th. We had a good time in the pool on the first day of the "season" and Ernie grilled some yummy burgers.
• We had our annual Indy Race Day party on Sunday, the 30th. This includes way more food than the Lee's and the Gammon's can ever eat in one day, but we make it anyway, graze all day, and watch the race.
• Nick had Group B strep, which they apparently don't normally treat. But since they called to check on him after the weekend was over and he was hoarse, had a runny nose, and was coughing, the dr. decided this warranted a 10 day antibiotic. This in turn warranted a prescription diaper cream. But we made it through and he is better.

Dad left on Memorial Day and Mom came in on Thursday for a long weekend. I had a garage sale on Saturday which didn't quite yield what I thought it might, but it was OK. I made some donations, set aside some items for eBay and my Mom was kind enough to take some things to put on consignment for me in MS.

Ernie has just ended a five day stint on an antibiotic due to an approaching ear infection.

I started an antibiotic and got a cortizone shot today due to a sinus infection.

I have made and mailed Allison's birthday invitations and we ordered her Cinderella cake yesterday. The party will be next Saturday. Hard to believe my sweet girl will be 3!!

Nicholas continues to run and climb and is communicating in his own way. My mom seems to think that he will actually start talking once Allison starts pre-school in the fall and won't be here to talk for him as much.

I am attending a "stamp camp" held by an up-line demonstrator each Wednesday in June. My mother-in-law has graciously agreed to keep the kids so that I could participate in each class.

So , that's it for now. I will try, yet again, to do a better job of keeping up on myblog.
