Paula, Me, Cindy and Lori
Gateway Gatlinburg Getaway 2010
Check out this HUGE rocking chair.
You never know what Bucky and the boys will get into for fun. The other day Luke would put the string to the mini blinds in Bucky's mouth. Then Bucky would shoot it up in the air. Luke would cackle!
There's no doubt that Adam loves music. Here he is with the ipod dancing to some of his favorite tunes. Guess underwear can double as an ipod holder. Please notice Callie in the background.

Adam with a portrait of our family. I like how Luke is SO very small.
Adam at Wool Fest. We had a great time. See Kim's blog for more pictures of that.

Adam and Luke play well together but always end up wrestling. Sometimes rough. This is a hug that turned into some rough play.
We have lots of pictures with Callie in the background. She's always around and is such good company. I'll have to remember this statement when it sounds like she's tap dancing on the hardwood floor.

Haircut!
Luke and Gwen on the night of his first haircut. He did great!
We went to Court Day today. We walked from the house. The weather was perfect and we had a nice time. Adam and Bucky are on their way to the UK game--Adam's first UK football game. He was so very excited! Can't wait to hear all the stories.

Where to begin. There's quite a big going on here in beautiful downtown Mt. Sterling. Everyone is gearing up for Court Day. Food, fun, and all kinds of good things to look at and buy. I think we'll go down one day and then we have a digital scavenger hunt on Sunday.
Luke is walking! Well, sort of. He'll take random steps at random times. He's close. He loves some new foods--right now he likes fish sticks, pizza, and he's crazy over yogurt bites. He'd kind of left them for awhile but he's back into them for sure.
Adam got his first progress report today. He seems to be doing very well. He dressed like a (Bengals) football player today since it was career day. This kid is eat up with football and sports . When I picked him up he asked me if I liked his Michael Jordan jersey. Ha! Guess he forgot about Carson Palmer.
Bucky is doing well. He's been helping out with the grocery shopping and making beds. This is a HUGE HUGE help. Sometimes going to the grocery sounds exciting but other times I dread it. Actually I just dread the bill at the end and the unloading of all the items and putting them away.
I am doing much better. Not as stressed as I had been. No caffeine. Just call me a water and milk girl... of course the occasional caf. free Diet Mt. Dew--yum! I'm drinking decaf coffee in the morning and I've found this yummy creamer that is delicious.
We are getting ready to leave for haircuts. I am hoping to get Luke one too. He's a bit mullet-ish in the back.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Megan has been here with us this week while LWC is on fall break. Time spent with her is simply wonderful. We love her.

He's been five for a month and one day
Adam's stats are 77th percentile height and 88th percentile weight--44.5 inches and 48.8 pounds with clothes and shoes. Healthy boy. He's been so good this week. Bucky has been gone, Luke went to Cynthiana, and so it's been the two of us. He's slept with me "to protect me" and totally cracked me up at the things he says. What a sight!
I am feeling better about things. I am learning to take one step, one moment, one project at a time. I just get all "bothered" when everywhere I look there is something left undone or something left to do. I like to get things "done." I know, cakes and pies get done, people get finished......
Here's to a happy Saturday coming our way tomorrow.

To clarify, Adam will be a Motocross type of "motorcycle guy" and not a Harley Davidson kind of "motorcycle guy." That is a funny thought.
The week has been busy. Too busy. I have been experencing some chest pain/heart hurts. I'm not sure if this is stress or the caffeine I've been putting into this body to help me deal with the days. In the past I have not been a caffeine type of girl, but somehow got into the habit. So disappointing but I guess I'm going to try and not drink so much. I had a kind of meltdown on Monday and decided that being Mother of the Year (as I always say) really wasn't that important. It's just too daggone hard and I'm too tired at the end of a school day much less coming home to two boys by myself while Bucky is at church. Anyway, I've changed my mind and feel better about some things. I've been putting A and L to bed earlier and been trying to do that myself. To top it all off, it's the time of year for real shoes and real socks which I don't totally enjoy. And, it's official. All our "cool weather" clothes are in storage so I've had to be creative to find something to wear. This means that one day soon we have to haul those crazy totes here and go through them. Fun, huh.
Well, this is a kind of bummer post but if you can't rant on your own blog, where can you?
Life is still good.
