Fun Weekend

Double the Experience!

What a weekend we have had! Let me see if I can recap it in a great way.

Friday - I was able to enjoy a relaxing morning with Aubrey while Randell and Cooper went to buy a pallet of grass (we're really working on getting a functional backyard going). Aubrey slept on my chest for about 2 hours until I finally realized that I had to get ready for a dr's appointment. It is the first time since she was born that she has wanted and/or been able to sleep on my chest with no interruptions.

So we went to the hematologist for a checkup. The counts for Cooper came back the highest they have ever been...still not at the normal range, but we're making improvements! Aubrey's counts came back good as well. The doctor doesn't find any reason to be concerned, although we will continue visiting him every 3 months at this time. He's such an awesome doctor!

Saturday - Enjoyed a GARAGE SALE! Is it possible to enjoy one? Apparently it is! We had a garage sale along with 4 other moms from my moms group. It was a lot of fun despite the threat of rain all day. We made some great money and have decided that since there is still stuff left, we'll do it again next weekend! If anything it gives us a chance to be childless for a bit.

Last night (Saturday night) was the first BIG thunder storm that we've had in a long time. It woke everyone up except for Aubrey (sleeping like a baby!). Cooper got to learn about lighting, thunder, rain, wind, and who made all of it. It was a sweet hour in the wee hours of the morning. Thankfully we all went back to sleep.

Sunday (today) we finally got back to Sea World. We love Sea World. Aubrey did amazingly well. Cooper also enjoyed Sea World a lot more this time since he is older. Cooper and Randell even went on a roller coaster (the log ride). Randell said that after the first "slide" down Cooper was ready to get off. The look on Cooper's face coming down the second "slide" was priceless. I wish I could have gotten it on my camera. Next time we will get pictures.

What a great weekend...now if we can only get into a good schedule with Aubrey's sleeping...then we'd really feel like we've got it together.
