Quiet Time

I have some rare quiet time in the house at the moment, so I thought I would put up a quick post. Both babies went to bed willingly (!) (of course, Nick was taking one last bottle when he fell asleep) and Ernie had to run back to the office. The power went out this evening and he forgot he had one more thing to do.

It has been a busy couple of days. Allison is feeling better as far as the whole virus issue we were having, but now she has a little summer cold. It's not bad enough to slow her down though! She is such a sweet girl. She continually amazes me with new words and her understanding of things. She is a joy and a light in our lives. Nicholas is getting better and quicker at what someone dubbed his "bear crawl." He is also pulling up every chance he gets.

On a sadder note, Scotty's uncle passed away last Thursday. It was a tremendous loss to their family. I only had a few opportunities to spend time with Lee Bangs. But the times I did see him were times of laughter and smiles. I know that he will be greatly missed, but fondly remembered.

Today we spent some time with the Mommy & Me crowd. We've been getting together on Mondays this summer. We went to Chic-Fil-A for playtime and lunch. I think Chic-Fil-A was the choice because they have a nice indoor play center. How old am I?! I am choosing places to eat and play based on how nice the indoor play center is! I don't feel as old when we do things like go to the zoo, let the kids play in the gym at the Christian Student Center, or meet at someone's house. Those things seem to make sense for Mommy & me outings. But I have to tell you, when I was sitting in Chic-Fil-A today, I felt old! But I digress...

It is 9:30 now and time to start getting ready for bed. (See I told you that I am getting old!)
